About
Tax attorney Joseph R. Viola is a Penn Law graduate who also holds a Master of Laws degree in Taxation from Temple. He offers to clients the knowledge, skill and judgment he has developed over 30 years of successful trial and appellate litigation experience in federal courts, state courts and administrative agencies.Mr. Viola represents individuals, small businesses and non-profit organizations in federal tax disputes of all types and at all levels.Mr. Viola has chosen this area of focus in the belief that every federal tax dispute boils down to investigating and proving facts and applying the applicable law to those facts in a just and reasonable manner. That territory ultimately belongs to the litigator, not the tax "specialist." Being able to navigate through the maze of federal tax laws, regulations and other pronouncements remains an important skill — but it is not enough.Every federal tax dispute requires effectively advocating for the taxpayer's position. Developing a compelling case at an early stage may leave the government reluctant to take a chance in the courtroom. A seasoned litigator with broad tax law expertise will often be in a better position than a former "insider" — with narrower training and experience — to bring about a quick, cost-effective and fair resolution of the tax dispute. Of course, if resolution cannot be achieved at the administrative level, Joe Viola stands ready, willing and able to file an action in the most advantageous court and to proceed as far as is necessary and appropriate to obtain the optimal result.Mr. Viola believes the key to effective representation — in federal tax and any other matters — is developing a cordial relationship of mutual respect and trust with each client. This can only be achieved through personal attention, responsiveness and accessibility on the attorney's part, as well as with openness and cooperation on the part of the client. The process works best when the client is kept informed and regularly consulted.

Mr. Viola is an exemplary attorney, tax advisor, and human being. He does not take any client, so if you get to be his client, know that you are a fortunate person and that your tax issues will be handled in the best way possible. My story: My problems started a few years before I contacted him, when I realized I had assets in another country that required special tax forms. During these years, tax season became an extremely stress-generating and frustrating experience. Mostly in part due to other tax firms not delivering what they had promised. I contacted many different tax firms and I was consistently left disappointed by their frequent delays, lack of communication, high fees, and even multiple glaring errors. In hindsight, many of these tax firms were more into marketing than actually providing tax preparation services. After another firm messed up my return, I knew I had to fix it, and that is when I found Mr. Viola. He was a heaven-sent. He took the time to listen to my tax situation, understood what had happened, and knew what had to be done. Always responsive, he was the only person during all these years who called me and spent over an hour on the phone to go over the return to make sure everything was right. No one else had done this before him. And thanks to his diligence, expertise, and experience, the amended tax return was filed successfully. I really wished I had known him years ago, I would have saved so many headaches, frustration, and money. If you have tax issues, be sure to ask Mr. Viola. If you get to work with him, feel fortunate that you are working with one of the best people in the field. Thank you Mr. Viola! You have made my life much better.
I have had the pleasure of working with Joe for my unique tax situations on many occasions. Joe has always impressed me with his incredible knowledge of the complicated IRS tax laws as it pertains to foreign sources of income. Joe is a wonderful human being. What sets him apart is his genuine compassion and willingness to help others. As an example. he helped answer several questions pertaining to my unique tax situation on a weekend, for no charge! He is always responsive and got back to me within the hour to make sure I had the answers I needed! I consider that dedication to work! I would whole heartedly recommend Joe to be your attorney for tax related issues without hesitation!
Our first meeting Mr. Viola quickly became a friend. He handled our legal matters with great care and transparency. Mr. Viola helped to sort out our legal issues in terms that were practical. He was always very professional. He stayed on top of the issues until they were resolved. He is highly recommended!
Joe Viola helped me with a very complicated estate issue. Mr. Viola always returned my phone calls promptly and spent a great deal of time explaining everything that was happening every step of the way. I would recommend Mr. Viola to anyone looking for a responsive and thorough attorney.
I found Mr. Viola by happy accident. I realized I was in dire straits with the IRS on a Saturday and began calling other firms and leaving messages expecting to be answered Monday. I happened across Mr. Viola’s website and realized he was local. To my surprise, Mr. Viola called me back within 30 minutes that Saturday and took his time asking me questions and letting me tell by tax tale which included enduring a levy that had already left me financially paralyzed. Monday he spent researching my situation. I met with him that evening. He clearly explained what had happened and what remedies were available and presented a game plan that was put into place by the end of the week. The explanation and the advocacy was something my previous attorney could not accomplish in over a year. Mr. Viola was able to restore my income while negotiating with the IRS. I highly recommend Joe Viola. His advice is always clear and to the point, and with a touch of humor.
I highly recommend Mr. Viola’s services for any tax matters requiring legal advice. His extensive knowledge in the field along with an outstanding character and integrity impressed me from day one. I walked in Mr. Viola’s office with tears rolling down my face, sobbing and asking for help in resolving my back taxes. After our first meeting I knew I was in capable hands. He spoke with the IRS on my behalf, structured a payment schedule and continued to follow the case, to insure that my situation was resolved. I am honored to have Mr. Viola as my lawyer. He is always available for consultation and he always takes the time to listen to my concerns and to provide thoughtful advice. Philadelphia, Client
I was looking for a lawyer knowledgeable in foreign bank accounts. I chose Joseph Viola, Philadelphia. He was listed in the Martindale-Hubble Law Directory. He was very generous with his time in our first telephone conversation and in all following interactions. He charged me a reasonable flat-rate and not a separate fee for every hour and every ten minutes. He was transparent with his explanations. When IRS forms and questions became too complicated and worrisome, Viola stepped in and did the actual figuring and work for me. He was very well informed about the latest changes in regulations and saved me a lot of money. I could completely rely on his competence and sensitivity when dealing with the IRS. He took a huge load off my shoulder. Throughout our cooperation Viola was discrete, trustworthy and personable, and sometimes very funny which helped in the dismal tax business. I appreciated him and fully recommend him.
I enthusiastically recommend Joseph for any tax matter requiring legal advice. Joseph was always available for consultation and always took the time to listen to my concerns and to provide thoughtful advice. Joseph has a gift for conveying complex tax law matters to the average person.
Joseph was beyond helpful working with my case! Besides being a wonderful professional, he has the common sense and humanly attitude which make any process so much easier. Highly recommend to anyone!
First and foremost, Mr. Joseph Viola is GREAT guy, he's EXTREMELY TAX LAW KNOWLEGABLE, PROFESSIONAL, PASSIONATE about his BUSINESS and DEPENDABLE! I'm a small business owner and I had at least 6 years of back taxes that needed to be in current status. It wasn't that I didn't want to file, but there were several unfortunate events that prevented me from accomplishing that goal. My original tax accountant passed away (rip), his uncle in the business inherited my account and became ill, he then passed it to a guy in Delaware, which let it sit for a year, then I was refered to a tax accountant in NJ, which was fine just too slow, and because I was not that educated in the tax system, I became product of the TAX ENVIRONMENT (Back Taxes, Heavy Interest Fees, Liens, Threating Letters, etc...) a total nightmare! That's when I did my own extensive research for a local Tax Attorney, that could possibly sort through this mess of past tax issues and found Mr. Viola. He introduced me to a totally new and organized ball game. He explained every process step by step, answered all calls and questions, all options and final possibilities. Now I am current with my personal ans business taxes, have new super accountant (Mark) that is excellent, a payment plan, and new hope for a complete resolution. Thanks again Mr. Joe Viola!

First and foremost, Mr. Joseph Viola is GREAT guy, he's EXTREMELY TAX LAW KNOWLEGABLE, PROFESSIONAL, PASSIONATE about his BUSINESS and DEPENDABLE! I'm a small business owner and I had at least 6 years of back taxes that needed to be in current status. It wasn't that I didn't want to file, but there were several unfortunate events that prevented me from accomplishing that goal. My original tax accountant passed away (rip), his uncle in the business inherited my account and became ill, he then passed it to a guy in Delaware, which let it sit for a year, then I was refered to a tax accountant in NJ, which was fine just too slow, and because I was not that educated in the tax system, I became product of the TAX ENVIRONMENT (Back Taxes, Heavy Interest Fees, Liens, Threating Letters, etc...) a total nightmare! That's when I did my own extensive research for a local Tax Attorney, that could possibly sort through this mess of past tax issues and found Mr. Viola. He introduced me to a totally new and organized ball game. He explained every process step by step, answered all calls and questions, all options and final possibilities. Now I am current with my personal ans business taxes, have new super accountant (Mark) that is excellent, a payment plan, and new hope for a complete resolution. Thanks again Mr. Joe Viola!
Mr. Viola is an exemplary attorney, tax advisor, and human being. He does not take any client, so if you get to be his client, know that you are a fortunate person and that your tax issues will be handled in the best way possible. My story: My problems started a few years before I contacted him, when I realized I had assets in another country that required special tax forms. During these years, tax season became an extremely stress-generating and frustrating experience. Mostly in part due to other tax firms not delivering what they had promised. I contacted many different tax firms and I was consistently left disappointed by their frequent delays, lack of communication, high fees, and even multiple glaring errors. In hindsight, many of these tax firms were more into marketing than actually providing tax preparation services. After another firm messed up my return, I knew I had to fix it, and that is when I found Mr. Viola. He was a heaven-sent. He took the time to listen to my tax situation, understood what had happened, and knew what had to be done. Always responsive, he was the only person during all these years who called me and spent over an hour on the phone to go over the return to make sure everything was right. No one else had done this before him. And thanks to his diligence, expertise, and experience, the amended tax return was filed successfully. I really wished I had known him years ago, I would have saved so many headaches, frustration, and money. If you have tax issues, be sure to ask Mr. Viola. If you get to work with him, feel fortunate that you are working with one of the best people in the field. Thank you Mr. Viola! You have made my life much better.
I have had the pleasure of working with Joe for my unique tax situations on many occasions. Joe has always impressed me with his incredible knowledge of the complicated IRS tax laws as it pertains to foreign sources of income. Joe is a wonderful human being. What sets him apart is his genuine compassion and willingness to help others. As an example. he helped answer several questions pertaining to my unique tax situation on a weekend, for no charge! He is always responsive and got back to me within the hour to make sure I had the answers I needed! I consider that dedication to work! I would whole heartedly recommend Joe to be your attorney for tax related issues without hesitation!
Our first meeting Mr. Viola quickly became a friend. He handled our legal matters with great care and transparency. Mr. Viola helped to sort out our legal issues in terms that were practical. He was always very professional. He stayed on top of the issues until they were resolved. He is highly recommended!
Joe Viola helped me with a very complicated estate issue. Mr. Viola always returned my phone calls promptly and spent a great deal of time explaining everything that was happening every step of the way. I would recommend Mr. Viola to anyone looking for a responsive and thorough attorney.
I found Mr. Viola by happy accident. I realized I was in dire straits with the IRS on a Saturday and began calling other firms and leaving messages expecting to be answered Monday. I happened across Mr. Viola’s website and realized he was local. To my surprise, Mr. Viola called me back within 30 minutes that Saturday and took his time asking me questions and letting me tell by tax tale which included enduring a levy that had already left me financially paralyzed. Monday he spent researching my situation. I met with him that evening. He clearly explained what had happened and what remedies were available and presented a game plan that was put into place by the end of the week. The explanation and the advocacy was something my previous attorney could not accomplish in over a year. Mr. Viola was able to restore my income while negotiating with the IRS. I highly recommend Joe Viola. His advice is always clear and to the point, and with a touch of humor.
I highly recommend Mr. Viola’s services for any tax matters requiring legal advice. His extensive knowledge in the field along with an outstanding character and integrity impressed me from day one. I walked in Mr. Viola’s office with tears rolling down my face, sobbing and asking for help in resolving my back taxes. After our first meeting I knew I was in capable hands. He spoke with the IRS on my behalf, structured a payment schedule and continued to follow the case, to insure that my situation was resolved. I am honored to have Mr. Viola as my lawyer. He is always available for consultation and he always takes the time to listen to my concerns and to provide thoughtful advice. Philadelphia, Client
I was looking for a lawyer knowledgeable in foreign bank accounts. I chose Joseph Viola, Philadelphia. He was listed in the Martindale-Hubble Law Directory. He was very generous with his time in our first telephone conversation and in all following interactions. He charged me a reasonable flat-rate and not a separate fee for every hour and every ten minutes. He was transparent with his explanations. When IRS forms and questions became too complicated and worrisome, Viola stepped in and did the actual figuring and work for me. He was very well informed about the latest changes in regulations and saved me a lot of money. I could completely rely on his competence and sensitivity when dealing with the IRS. He took a huge load off my shoulder. Throughout our cooperation Viola was discrete, trustworthy and personable, and sometimes very funny which helped in the dismal tax business. I appreciated him and fully recommend him.

My original tax accountant passed away (rip), his uncle in the business inherited my account and became ill, he then passed it to a guy in Delaware, which let it sit for a year, then I was refered to a tax accountant in NJ, which was fine just too slow, and because I was not that educated in the tax system, I became product of the TAX ENVIRONMENT (Back Taxes, Heavy Interest Fees, Liens, Threating Letters, etc...) a total nightmare! That's when I did my own extensive research for a local Tax Attorney, that could possibly sort through this mess of past tax issues and found Mr. Viola. He introduced me to a totally new and organized ball game. He explained every process step by step, answered all calls and questions, all options and final possibilities. Now I am current with my personal ans business taxes, have new super accountant (Mark) that is excellent, a payment plan, and new hope for a complete resolution. Thanks again Mr. Joe Viola!
Mr. Viola is an exemplary attorney, tax advisor, and human being. He does not take any client, so if you get to be his client, know that you are a fortunate person and that your tax issues will be handled in the best way possible. My story: My problems started a few years before I contacted him, when I realized I had assets in another country that required special tax forms. During these years, tax season became an extremely stress-generating and frustrating experience. Mostly in part due to other tax firms not delivering what they had promised. I contacted many different tax firms and I was consistently left disappointed by their frequent delays, lack of communication, high fees, and even multiple glaring errors. In hindsight, many of these tax firms were more into marketing than actually providing tax preparation services. After another firm messed up my return, I knew I had to fix it, and that is when I found Mr. Viola. He was a heaven-sent. He took the time to listen to my tax situation, understood what had happened, and knew what had to be done. Always responsive, he was the only person during all these years who called me and spent over an hour on the phone to go over the return to make sure everything was right. No one else had done this before him. And thanks to his diligence, expertise, and experience, the amended tax return was filed successfully. I really wished I had known him years ago, I would have saved so many headaches, frustration, and money. If you have tax issues, be sure to ask Mr. Viola. If you get to work with him, feel fortunate that you are working with one of the best people in the field. Thank you Mr. Viola! You have made my life much better.
I have had the pleasure of working with Joe for my unique tax situations on many occasions. Joe has always impressed me with his incredible knowledge of the complicated IRS tax laws as it pertains to foreign sources of income. Joe is a wonderful human being. What sets him apart is his genuine compassion and willingness to help others. As an example. he helped answer several questions pertaining to my unique tax situation on a weekend, for no charge! He is always responsive and got back to me within the hour to make sure I had the answers I needed! I consider that dedication to work! I would whole heartedly recommend Joe to be your attorney for tax related issues without hesitation!
Our first meeting Mr. Viola quickly became a friend. He handled our legal matters with great care and transparency. Mr. Viola helped to sort out our legal issues in terms that were practical. He was always very professional. He stayed on top of the issues until they were resolved. He is highly recommended!
Joe Viola helped me with a very complicated estate issue. Mr. Viola always returned my phone calls promptly and spent a great deal of time explaining everything that was happening every step of the way. I would recommend Mr. Viola to anyone looking for a responsive and thorough attorney.
I found Mr. Viola by happy accident. I realized I was in dire straits with the IRS on a Saturday and began calling other firms and leaving messages expecting to be answered Monday. I happened across Mr. Viola’s website and realized he was local. To my surprise, Mr. Viola called me back within 30 minutes that Saturday and took his time asking me questions and letting me tell by tax tale which included enduring a levy that had already left me financially paralyzed. Monday he spent researching my situation. I met with him that evening. He clearly explained what had happened and what remedies were available and presented a game plan that was put into place by the end of the week. The explanation and the advocacy was something my previous attorney could not accomplish in over a year. Mr. Viola was able to restore my income while negotiating with the IRS. I highly recommend Joe Viola. His advice is always clear and to the point, and with a touch of humor.
I highly recommend Mr. Viola’s services for any tax matters requiring legal advice. His extensive knowledge in the field along with an outstanding character and integrity impressed me from day one. I walked in Mr. Viola’s office with tears rolling down my face, sobbing and asking for help in resolving my back taxes. After our first meeting I knew I was in capable hands. He spoke with the IRS on my behalf, structured a payment schedule and continued to follow the case, to insure that my situation was resolved. I am honored to have Mr. Viola as my lawyer. He is always available for consultation and he always takes the time to listen to my concerns and to provide thoughtful advice. Philadelphia, Client
I was looking for a lawyer knowledgeable in foreign bank accounts. I chose Joseph Viola, Philadelphia. He was listed in the Martindale-Hubble Law Directory. He was very generous with his time in our first telephone conversation and in all following interactions. He charged me a reasonable flat-rate and not a separate fee for every hour and every ten minutes. He was transparent with his explanations. When IRS forms and questions became too complicated and worrisome, Viola stepped in and did the actual figuring and work for me. He was very well informed about the latest changes in regulations and saved me a lot of money. I could completely rely on his competence and sensitivity when dealing with the IRS. He took a huge load off my shoulder. Throughout our cooperation Viola was discrete, trustworthy and personable, and sometimes very funny which helped in the dismal tax business. I appreciated him and fully recommend him.
I enthusiastically recommend Joseph for any tax matter requiring legal advice. Joseph was always available for consultation and always took the time to listen to my concerns and to provide thoughtful advice. Joseph has a gift for conveying complex tax law matters to the average person.
Joseph was beyond helpful working with my case! Besides being a wonderful professional, he has the common sense and humanly attitude which make any process so much easier. Highly recommend to anyone!
