"Dear Ann, I hope that you remember me and the fact that you were my life saver a few years back in orchestrating an Offer in Compromise for me with the IRS.  Well – I just wanted to give you a huge THANK YOU!!  My last payment on the OIC was made today.  It is finally over!  Of course I must be good for years to come as far as they are concerned, but it is such a welcome relief to finally have this debt behind me.  I can never thank you enough for everything you did for me…without you I don’t what I would have done or where I’d be today."

"Dealing with the IRS is a fearful thing. Ann made me feel at ease right away. She assured me that if we did a complete and accurate accounting of my case, that the IRS agent would appreciate our earnestness and be far more amiable towards a quick settlement. I appreciated this common sense honest approach. Her estimated overview of how things would play out over the coming months and what her expectations of the outcome, proved to be very accurate.
There was however a very unexpected pleasant surprise at the final stages of the acceptance of my offer to the IRS. Ann's report with the agent delivered a payment plan that was way beyond my expectations! Instead of a lump sum to be paid at the end of a three month period, I was offered a very generous payment plan to be paid over 38 months, interest free! What a stress relief! I will happily recommend Ann Brookes to any of my friends and clients! Thank you again."
