I had a wonderful experience with Mr. Callahan during my initial phone call. He fully understood my issues and provided me with helpful information on how to proceed with my tax issue. I am very appreciative of his time and expertise!

Mackay, you are a godsend. Thank you dearly for taking the time to go through in great detail options for our situation. You were patient, thorough and extremely helpful even after you knew we were unable at this time to pay for services. I wish other companies would follow your level of customer service.
I was in despair for years and now finally I have hope.
God bless,
Tiffanie

I’m here to tell you that ALL the good things about those tax attorneys are true. Joe Callahan got a $30,000 tax bill reduced to $200! Thanks Joe, I still can’t believe you pulled that off!

“Joe Callahan helped me out of a big mess. I also went to several other “tax specialists” and got no good answers. Very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend him for complex tax issues. I could have saved a lot of time and money had I used his office earlier on.”
