My husband and I paid these shysters $4,500. because they pretty much guaranteed they could help us. What we got was shafted. We filled out tons upon tons of paperwork.

After the paperwork had been filled out, we filled out some more, most of it duplicates of what we had just sent. In the meantime, the IRS kept screwing us along with the lawyer. I think they have some sort of agreement.

We were promised this would be settled for about $2,400.00. Needless to say that didn't happen. I was told we would be getting a packet on what our options are. We never received anything.

I called to find out when we would be getting the packet, and was told that we are on our own. You would think for that kind of money, they would at least follow through to the end.

This is my first experience dealing with lawyers and it has left a nasty taste in my mouth. Lesson learned: Do some research before you get a lawyer.

Yes, I am yet another terminated employee from this wannabe BS d**e. In fact, I was in upper management and when I tried to expose illegal practices I was fired. Imagine that, fired from a law firm for having ethics. Well kiss my F'n a*s you diesel-d**e-b***h. I had done nothing but bring you in an additional million dollars a month, and in return you screwed me too just like CSR runs your clients around. Good luck on your new building at 4815 Watt ave. Of course paid for by clients that didn't receive squat.Yes that's right, she had custom built from the ground up a 12-15 Million dollar new office all courtesy of the clients money. Beware of a certain tax director there that will flat out lie just to get his share of empty promised wealth.

How Roni Rips You Off. This company needs to be stopped.

TellerOfTruth, I agree with almost everything you wrote. One thing I don't agree with is that the reason that they don't submit the OIC to the IRS within six months is not because they have too many clients, it's because they don't submit the OIC's to the IRS until the client has paid ALL of their retainer. This usually takes 10 or 11 months for the client to pay in full. I can't believe Roni is still in business and hasn't been on 60 Minutes or 20/20. One thing that you can take comfort from is that I put "Roni Deutch" into Yahoo's search engine and 2 of the first 4 hits were ripoffreport.com. This company needs to be stopped.

Another Simple Solution... Greg Flahive oversees

You can do an OIC yourself with about 45 minutes of paperwork. It is easy to end up giving the IRS more than you have to if done improperly. So the best thing is to do it yourself with the help of an IRS agent. This might sound strange but it's true. The IRS agents that handle Offer In Compromise are really there to help those that are willing to help themselves but you have to get through the trust issue. Don't pay an attorney to do this unless you own a corporation or have other intricate financial matters. I worked for Roni Deutch for several years and saw her maybe 10 times all together. She doesn't handle the cases. Greg Flahive oversees the handling of the cases by new law school grads and law students.

The rest of management is Roni's immediate family members. They claim to be "experts" but expertise is limited to delegation of work, collecting outrageously huge paychecks for doing little or nothing and some have been known to visit prostitutes on their lunch breaks. Roni only comes in when it's time for her to throw one of her very offensive and loud temper tantrums when she feels not enough clients are being brought aboard (sales are down). She's known to single out employees and scream obscenities including the F word and belittling the very people that she has lying to potential clients on the phone to support her nuveau rich, acne scarred family.

You are more likely to find her in Maui, Australia, New York or wherever you pay for her to go with your hard earned money. She's commercial and a name. She's surely not the best. JK Harris has 270 offices nationwide if you hire someone to help you. At least you can then go to an office and see someone face to face and not play phone tag with incompetent members of the Deutch family. Good Luck. By the way. I know [delete] and he/she is credible. If I sound bitter it's for a reason. They tried to ruin my life and ruin other innocent lives every day. I want to see them stopped.

They do not care about you, only your money!!! ..If the documentation is older than 6 months, your offer will be rejected

#9UPDATE EX-employee responds

You have hit the matter right on the head...let me explain why you seemed to send the same paperwork over and over again to Roni.

See, the IRS needs your documentation for the Offer in Compromise to be at least 6 months old or NEWER, and when the Law offices first gets the information from you, "THEY SIT ON IT AND DO NOT PROCESS IT" for months at a time all the while giving you a bullshit runaround as to whats happening with your OIC. Then they ask you for it again because they know that they messed you up and don't want to admit it.

If the documentation is older than 6 months, your offer will be rejected and have to be resubmitted with more current information, and Roni's office will have to ask you for another fee. So there lies the dilema.

It does not take any more than a couple of weeks to both gather and submit all the required information that the I.R.S. requests, yet The Law Offices of Roni Lynn Deutch tries so hard to get more and more clients that processing them becomes an impossibility....they take in approx. 500 new clients a month and do not process that many....WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? and who better to blame the problems of the law firm on than the client!

When you have the nerve to complain and want your money back, they form letter you to death and make it seem like you are fighting city hall so you can become discouraged and give up the money you spent, just like you said on this post.

The firm can do the work, but would rather have the money and pass you off like a piece of fodder, making it seem like you are the one that is wrong. You have to get by their expert sales team (NOT) to really find out what is going on in this company, unfortunately, when you find out, it is far too late to do anything about them except go to the Attorney General, State Bar, Better Business Bureau, or any other office that governs people with practices like those you and I have been talking about.

Your 4500 is gone and is a drpo in the bucket, Roni neither knows you or cares about you...the only advice that can be offered is to find someone with less clients and cares more about success than money and you will be better off and have someone that will get your debt settled.

Your Situation Is Typical Of Deutch; inundate the client with paperwork until the client gives up and then the business "fires" the client for non-participation.

I used to work for Roni Deutch. This is a typical scenario. Roni and Greg Flahive (The lawyer that really runs this business) used to tell us to bring on clients that didn't really qualify for the program, then the lawyers would instruct them on how to qualify (this is illegal). If that didn't work the business would inundate the client with paperwork until the client gives up and then the business "fires" the client for non-participation. The family that owns this business is very dishonest and are very greed to the extent of lying to and manipulating clients. By the way, Russell Deutch and Scott Juceam are regulars at at Beach Tanning. This is a massage massage parlor that has been busted more than once for operating as a house of prostitution.
