I am relaying information about Layton & Lopez Tax attorneys for my boss who told me his story. Although he wanted to post himself, his status in the OC business community makes it that he could not advertise his financial situation in his name, just know that RWT is quite famous here in Orange County... But long story short, everyone at the firm of Layton & Lopez are true miracle workers.
RWT had a bit above 2 million in tax liability. He went through 3 firms before being recommended to visit Layton & Lopez. The first three firms said they could not do anything. Not that I would know the feeling, but 2 million in back taxes is enough to make anyone worried about ending up in prison. That constant feeling of being overwhelmed and stressed as if you are walking with Damocles' sword above your head is enough to make anyone go crazy.
Fast forward a couple of months, when Daniel Layton and his team did exactly what others said would be impossible. RWT ended up paying $400,000 out of the $2,000,000 the IRS said he owed and he has now completely resolved his tax issues.
I too have to deal with some tax issues (albeit much much smaller), and I know the feeling of constant pressure and anxiety that comes with having to deal with back taxes. Now hearing and seeing what they were able to achieve makes them my first stop. If they were able to help RWT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU they will be able to help you (and me). Good luck if you are in a similar situation, remember hit them up first and see the results for yourself!

I am a C.P.A. who has used Daniel and his firm for various client issues and tax law questions. My work with Daniel and his staff has been very professional and with positive results. Daniel's knowledge of tax law and IRS procedure have been invaluable to me.

I hired this law office to represent me before the California Franchise Tax Board. The FTB had decided to audit one of my state tax returns. Daniel Layton, the attorney that represented me, was fantastic! He was constantly in touch with me, letting me know of everything that was happening and making recommendations on how to proceed. I have hired other law firms where you never hear from anyone for months and there's no one to communicate with. But not here. This firm's client communication is top notch and I really appreciated that. Undergoing a tax audit is anxious for anyone, and I was really glad to have them handle it so carefully. Oh yeah - and the tax audit result was a 100% success in my favor.

Daniel with his IRS Administrative & IRS Trial Experience makes him the first Tax Professional that you call when you have a difficult and complex IRS problem. I have worked with Daniel on some very complicated IRS Tax cases and found him to be very analytical and a true problem solver.

Mr. Layton is an exceptional tax attorney that resolved problems that 3 so-called CPA's couldn't, with just a simple letter. Exceptional tax attorney.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dan Layton when I have brought him aboard as a team member for clients I was representing that needed to petition or had already petitioned the U.S. Tax Court. Dan has proven himself invaluable with his legal training, experience and support. I plan to continue using him for future clients where legal representation is an integral part of my strategy to ensure a successful resolution to the tax controversy. That is the highest recommendation I can offer.

I am a physician and was currently in collections from the IRS because I mistakenly used a Turbo Tax Referral (TTR) Company that failed to accurately report the requested IRS information I had provide to the TTR Company.

A close friend to me recommended I search for an attorney who had strong experience working for the IRS but also a strong academic background who not understood the regulations but the theory of law behind the regulations.

I found 3 attorneys, made contact with all three, and settled on Daniel because of his professional experience, academic background, his highly professional interpersonal skills which allowed him to understand very quickly the predicament I was in and swiftly take actions to stop collections.

Then as I was reading the IRS Regulations for the next 3 months, he recommend 2 professionals to prepare my tax returns, helped me hire a 35 year veteran IRS Supervisor to negotiate a temporary installment agreement, and activated the IRS Tax Advocate, at an extremely low cost which protected me financially until we were able to resolve the tax issues.

After reviewing my information Daniel recommend an Audit Reconsideration as opposed to an "Offer in Compromise" which, in the end, 3 years later, ultimately saved me an absolute bundle.

My work is to save peoples lives. Quite frankly Daniels work saved my retirement and was I felt "life saving".

I will never forget that the kind and gentle man Daniel has been to me, along with his exceptional professionalism along with those he recommends to work with him, forever changed my life, and allows me to continue to do the work that I love.

I recommend Daniel and his Associate with the highest recommendation possible. He has the highest moral & ethical integrity I have found amongst the many professionals I work with and I treat.

I cant thank him enough and will always be extremely grateful for the honorable way he took care of my problem in the IRS Audit.

He saved me a bundle and I am absolutely certain he will do the same for you!
