Like many other 1099 Employees, circumstances and just plain Life had me trying to clean up 17 years worth of IRS issues. I received Mark's phone number from a friend and have never once regretted it. His expertise, paired with his ability to effectively explain the what and how of Offer In Compromise Settlements helped prepare me for the long, often slow process of Tax Burden Relief. Things to note: like the rest of the World, Covid has created challenges for every Sector of life pertaining to dealing with the IRS. Please pay close attention to the initial first (and second) Consultations. The IRS is short on Employees so correspondence will most likely be slower than One would like to think. Don't be afraid to take notes, and PLEASE remember that we are in the midst of a Global Pandemic and remember the hierarchy of Contact seeing as On Site Services and times are altered in lieu of Covid. If your quandary is important, call his cell! If it's a Secondary or Tertiary request- email. Mr. Kell does not waste time with polite call-backs devoid of the answer to your question...but HE WILL call you back and he WILL effectively explain the answer to your question/s. Do everything he tells you to do as promptly as possible, and rest assured that you have selected the Top Attorney to help you resolve your tax issues with success the closest thing to a guarantee as possible in any Offer/Acceptance situation. Lastly, YOU MUST convey any pertinent information up front regardless of whether or not you think it matters. Thanks again Mark, you're an AMAZING ATTORNEY and I can't thank you enough for your services and hopefully future services moving forward. Andy Sunell

I had an excellent experience with Mr. Kell from my initial consult. I needed guidance on a tax debt. He was clear on what our options were and what needed to be done to resolve the situation. I can't say enough when it's come to his professional and dedication to helping individuals like myself. I would recommend his services to anyone. The bottom line is if you're looking for an attorney that's provides excellence customer service with tax issues and treats their clients with the utmost respect I highly recommend Mark Kell.

Mr. Kell should be called the Miracle Worker. My husband withdrew over $400k from his retirement and did not pay enough tax. That year we owed over $50k when our income tax was complete. I panicked since I did not have $50k. Another lawyer friend recommended that I call Mr. Kell. (What a blessing this turned out to be.) I was lead by Mr. Kell through the entire process. When I became stressed, he assured me that this was part of the process. After months of hard fighting back and forth with the IRS reviewer, we got word that my Offer in Compromise was accepted. Instead of paying over $36k in federal tax, I paid a little over 15% to settle. I can now move on with my life and not worry about my retirement check being garnished, my house having a lien placed on it or my bank account frozen. If you are in this situation, contact Mr. Kell to get peace of mind. Thank you Mr. Kell.

Mr. Kell did everything he promised to do for me. He explained the process for my offer in compromise in terms I could understand. He followed through on the entire process, which was lengthy and cumbersome. In the end he negotiated a settlement on my five figure debt for less than 10% of what I owed. I would highly recommend him to anyone with tax problems.

When Mark, takes on the IRS he wins. You can't ask any more from any attorney. He establishes the plan, then executes the design. In Towson Mark is the only attorney to see. Honest, fair and consistent.

Mark said what he would do, and he did it! Sometimes we did not know what was happening. But, Mark had a Plan A, Plan B, etc. Mark got us free from an IRS Tax Lein so that we could address our medical and living issues.

Mr. Kell is very compassionate, professional and affordable when it comes to rates compared to other lawyers in the area. I hired him years ago in the early 2000’s to handle a child support matter which got resolved easily and now currently a custody matter. Through all of it he has been ethical in practice and honest in his approach when representing me in front of the judges. He is straight forward, understanding and very thorough when it comes to family law. He worked tirelessly on all my cases and made sure that all motions, responses and paperwork were on point. A very important fact as well is that he is always available if you need to discuss questions and he always listens.
