I was facing my first tax audit, and even though I'm an accountant, I was really scared. I contacted Isai after reading his many positive reviews. After my phone consultation, I met with him and hired him. After several months, which was delayed due to the gov't shutdown, he was able to get me a reasonable settlement. I highly recommend him, as he's a consummate professional, who's also a straight shooter.

Wow, what a relief ... Isai Cortez of Bismark did for me what 4 so called tax experts couldn’t . After failing to deal with Irs directly Mr Cortez provided me with guidance on the proper way to approach my negative tax situation . Getting me in a streamline payment plan, and reducing my payment by contacting Irs directly and finding out from them(Irs)what I needed to do ASAP before they took action against me. I called Mr Cortez on odd hours even weekends and hearing him say to relax you have time or we will take care of it helped ease my stress and allowed me to complete my ordeal with IRS. Thanks Mr Cortez and staff for a job well done and i hope i never contact you again

Isai Cortez is really good with what he does!! I owed a lot of money to BOE, but he made me so comfortable and took care of everything efficiently. I’m so glad I found him on yelp and he was able to settle my OIC with little money to pay back. Throughout the 2 years of waiting was mainly waiting for BOE to assign my files to a specialist in the business dept. But, Isai made sure to tell me it’s going to be a process. I’m pleased to say he has tookthe stress out of me during those timeframe of waiting and now, I can finally live my life normally without BOE on my back. Thank you Isai and his team to make this whole process smoothly!

I had some serious personal and business tax issues that spanned the course of many years and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Isai under promised and over delivered. He is a very competent attorney and a good person. I'm not the type of person to write reviews but I found Isai because of his high rating on yelp. So I wanted to pay it forward to someone else out there trying to make a decision of who to go with. I was meticulously shopping attorneys prior to choosing Bismark because the previous 3 companies that worked on my case did not follow through. After meeting with Isai I felt that I could trust him to stand by his word. Isai and Angela worked on my case for countless hours and I feel as if they were genuinely more concerned with helping me than they were with making money from my case. For years I have been extremely stressed over my tax problems but now I feel as a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. Their persistence, knowledge, connections, and staff accomplished what I didn't think was possible. If I went into detail people might not believe this review. My family and I owe them a great deal and I can't thank them enough!

I reached out to Isai in the middle 2017 to get some help fighting a tax issue I had with the IRS. For several months prior I had tried to handle the situation myself thinking the IRS can't be that bad. I even got my accountant involved but for every representative I spoke to at the IRS I would be sent down a different path. I'd had enough so late one Sunday afternoon I found Isai's info on Yelp and sent him a note. Very shortly after he replied and we scheduled a call. A few days later I was in his office where we went through all the paperwork I had gathered and we got the ball rolling. Isai kept me up to date through the process and he always responded to texts and emails quickly. Isai was able to explain each step as it came up or as we headed forward and he always knew what was going on at every stage. I always felt like I had personal attention from Isai and never felt like "just a client". The team at Bismark are clearly solid and help keep Isai organized so he can keep on track with his work and his clients. Great job and while I hope to never deal with the IRS again, I know who to go to next time instead of waiting.

I can not say enough good things about Isai, Angela, Vanessa and the entire Bismark team. I first contacted Isai during the holidays in 2017 after I received notification from the FTB for a field audit. I called at 7am looking to leave a message but Isai picked up and was extremely helpful and offered to meet me in his office in an hour. His complete understanding of my situation and experience with similar matters made me feel really comfortable he was the right attorney for the job. The team explained everything they needed from me so I dumped off a several boxes of documents with them shortly thereafter. They crunched through everything for days and days and produced exactly what the tax auditors were looking for. Long story short, 6 months later I received a "no change audit" letter from the FTB, which is basically the best possible outcome you can achieve. I would highly recommend Bismark Tax for all your tax needs. They are the best in the business.

Isai did a great job on our business EDD tax issues. We are very happy with the job Isai did for us.

Highly recommend. Had my first audit and had NO idea where to begin. He took care of business. He made the whole process as simple and painless as possible for me. Easy to get a hold of and returned calls right away. Answered every question very professionally. Saved me a TON of money. Would recommend to anyone with a tax issue.

Thank you for ALL your had work, attending our concerns, and resolving our issues. You and your team are awesome. Isai Cortez was able to solve the problems with the IRS that other "So Called" professionals caused when accounting for my business transactions. It was a snarled mess. He and his team were able to sort out and make it so the IRS had a clear picture of what was truly reasonable due to them. I highly recommend them when dealing on complex issues with the IRS.

Isai is the man!!!! I just moved to LA a few months back, and my tax situation was a serious mess. I had multiple years to file and the IRS was already threatening me with a Levy on my bank account. From the very first phone call, Isai showed how he goes the extra mile and gets things done! He kept me in the loop of things constantly and the professionalism is balanced perfectly with his real world , friend to friend way of explaining certain things. He fixed everything, got the levy removed and now I am free and clear of constantly worrying about the IRS. The whole experience was perfect and I highly recommend him.
