Offering free consultation.
My partner and I engaged Don Todrin and Second Wind Consultants in early 2012 to help us with a failing business. They promised to assist in liquidating the business assets, and then file an Offer In Compromise (OIC) with the SBA on our behalf. Don Todrin sounded credible on the phone, and they had good references. Only later did we find out that Todrin is a convicted felon (bank fraud).
As soon as we engaged them, we were passed on to Adam, a young and apparently inexperienced person in their organization. While pleasant, we always felt like Adam was too busy for us, and never fully grasped our situation. We always felt like we had to call him to get anything done...
However, Second Wind did successfully help liquidate our assets (primarily a building) over the course of the year that we worked with them. However, when it came time to negotiate a settlement with the SBA, which was the primary reason we engaged with Todrin and Second Wind, THEY FAILED, leaving my partner and I with debt of over $750,000 and being pursued by the Department of Treasury. At this point, we are facing bankruptcy. Had I known this was where it would end up, I would have saved myself the considerable fees and aggravation caused by hiring Don Todrin and Second Wind.
