I had the pleasure of working with Bishop Toups to assist me with the procedures to get my Dad qualified for Medicaid. He was very thorough and kept me up-to-date on all the steps as well as the progress of how all was going in the system. I could have never done this on my own and he saved me from a lot of aggravation at a time when I really needed help as quickly as possible.

I worked as an independent contractor for many years and, due to naïveté and procrastination, completely dropped the ball on filing taxes on time and correctly. Back taxes, fees, and threatening letters were piling up. When I contacted Bishop Toups, I was at my absolute wit’s end. I was depressed, afraid, not sleeping, and completely at a loss about how to tackle my back taxes and IRS lien. Bishop worked hard to ease my mind and guide me through the Offer In Compromise process. He was very prompt with communications, clear about the steps we needed to take, and the information needed. Bishop successfully negotiated my IRS tax debt down from over $80K to around $5K. A much more manageable amount to settle years of debt and poor decisions. Now, I rest much easier and the future is looking brighter. I owe many thanks to Bishop and would absolutely recommend him to anyone with tax problems.

We purchased Frederick W. Daily's _Stand up to the IRS_ book, published by NOLO. We love the NOLO books. The Stand Up to the IRS book is now our favorite: it was a phenomenal return on investment, although we certainly hope not to have to use it again.

In short: we were audited. We keep meticulous records and knew that we were following the requirements for filing (thanks, other NOLO book!)

We went through the appeals process and were denied. Because we'd bought the book, we weren't afraid of having to go to tax court and were confident in the process.

I'll skip all the details I don't want random internet strangers finding for the rest of my life, but the short version is: we didn't have to go to tax court and had a great outcome. We know that this wouldn't have been the case without Fred Daily and his book.

After this was all over, I contacted the law offices of Daily & Toups to thank Fred for having put such clear, usable information out there, accessible to anyone through a very reasonably-priced book. I hope we never need a tax lawyer, but if we do, we're obviously going to contact this firm.
