Tax Relief Network - Wade D. Huettel Esq. wins Low-Life-Lawyer of The Year Award while CEO, ripoff San Diego California
I present to you the attorney Wade D.Huettel Esq. He is the big-time low-life lawyer from the San Diego area. He is the CEO of Tax Relief Network Inc. The humor of his story is him denying that he had any knowledge that the company was in financial trouble. He and his friends have made posts under the IRS section of Ripped Off Reports, claiming that he only had his clients best interests in mind. What a shallow mind that putz has.
Wade Huettel was admitted to the State Bar of California on 06/01/2004. His specialty is Business Law Taxation. His Bar Number is 231278. His business address is as follows.
The Law Office of Wade D. Huettel, Esq.
3580 Utah Street
San Diego, CA 92104
1. Tel: 619-892-3006
Fax:619-330-1888
Wade Huettel has chosen the same path that the CEO and other top company officers at ENRON did.. To make the claim that they had no knowledge of the pending financial collapse of the company that they were in charge of. .
If you read some of the other posts about Tax Relief Network that have been written under the IRS topic, you will read posts that have been written by him and other employees that are nothing but self-serving kudos and pats on the back. You will not read any posts from a prior employee that shows that they had the best interest of the ripped off customer in mind.
All of the posts, including those that appear to be made by Wade Huettel, seem to have the same theme. They are all claiming that they were duped also. That they had no knowledge of the pending financial collapse of Tax Relief Network. What a pack of lies and liars. Albeit, some of the lower echelon workers and players of the company may not have known what was going on, only a complete idiot will give any belief that Wade Huettel was the last to know. That is what he and his friends want you to do. To be and idiot and believe that story.
First, could anyone really believe that the CEO did not know the company was in financial trouble? LOL. I don't believe that they were in financial trouble. I think that the players ( CEO and business owners and partners) closed shop and stole the money.
There has been posts under the IRS topic in Ripped Off Reports, from former employees that claim one of the former owners of Tax Relief Network, also owns another tax related company that is in the same type of business. . Who in the world made the post that Wade Huettel was working 50 hours per week for only $300.00 per week in pay.
Whoever posted that amount of money could have picked a more believable monetary number. He has a law office business that was separate from Tax Relief Network. Yet Wade Huettel ,wants those who were ripped off by him, to believe that with the 50 hours ( 10 hrs overtime pay) he was putting in at TRN, that the $5.45 per hour (before taxes) he was making was enough to pay for his law office, his secretary, clerks, and his home and personal expenses. Anyone could have put in that $300.00 per week number. I could be just like the person that made that post and claim that I know for fact that Huettel was making $5000.00 per week.
Here are some facts to ponder. A LAWYER owes a duty of good faith to his/her clients. Huettel did not give this. His duty of good faith was only to himself and his business partners. The company that he was the CEO of, knowingly stole money from clients in which they had no intention of representing of providing services for. Wade Huettel and his band of thieves continued to allow their salespeople to promote the business TRN and take monies from people who were trying to resolve their tax issues with IRS. They continued to solicit business and money even knowing of their intention of filing for bankruptcy. Even after shutting down TRN, they still did automatic bank account deductions from clients accounts. They still cashed money-grams and personal checks from people that were sent in after the official closing date of November 6, 2006. That is pure fraud.
What about all of the clients that paid monies for services and are now without hope. Nothing has been done to provide the ripped off customers with their files or payments returned. Now, knowing that the company intentionally solicited money even though they had the intent of filing bankruptcy, it is questionable if anything was done with the IRS. It is doubtful that any paper work was filed on their behalf.
On Nov. 8th , I called Wade Huettel's law office. I spoke to Wade Huettel, he told me that I would receive a letter from TRN explaining what happened and how to file for monies owed. He also said that there would be a contact made on TRN returning original copies of customer receipts and paper work that was filed by TRN to the IRS. Well, TRN filed bankruptcy 50 days ago. Nothing has been done.
So while Christmas is tomorrow, there will be many people who will have a bleak Christmas morning. Their mistake was intrusting their monies with a CROOKED LAWYER. The customers will have a skimpy Christmas while SCUMBAGS Wade Huettel, Dana Spear, Jennifer Karlovsky and most likely several others at the former TRN will still have a wonderful Christmas. The former top dogs at TRN will be opening presents and toys that were bought and paid for by the very customers they knowingly stole money from. I hope that someone is able to give these thieves what the are due.
One of the marketing tools that was used by employees at TRN was the claim of being a member of the BBB of San Diego. Any business can become a member of the BBB. All one has to due is pay dues. Once a member, the BBB will try to protect your interests. Upon finding out that TRN filed for bankruptcy less than 24 hours after I sent in my final payment, I contacted the BBB of San Diego. That date was Nov. 13th , the contact person from BBB was Julien Brown.
On Nov 22nd , I received a email from the BBB. It was a one line letter stating that the letter that they had sent to TRN was returned by the post office and marked as out of business and therefore there was nothing more that the BBB could or would do.

You have absolutely NO idea of the facts on the matter. NONE WHATSOEVER! It is actually true that Wade Huettel took the (very meager) aforementioned amount of money as pay for his efforts at TRN. He did this because he wanted the company to use any extra monies to take care of its clients and employees. He DID work over 50 hours per week, assisting the employees there to keep everything running smoothly. If you knew the owner of the company, you would know that Wade was not kept in 'the loop' on all events happening there, and one would hope that you would not pre-judge under the pretenses that you have ANY IDEA about the specific events and occasions that occurred there leading up to this event...because you have no idea.
The reason I know this, without wanting to discuss too much, is that I am Wade's EX-wife, and know exactly what he & we put into the company as well as what he was getting paid for his time and efforts there. The "pay" mentions are 100% accurate (give or take a penny or two) and I have unequivocal evidence to prove this fact, i.e. bank statements. And, any accusations that Wade and / or any of the employees knew TRN was 'going under' are completely inaccurate, it was a shock to me as well.
I sat at the edge of my seat for over a year when Wade was brought in to HELP the company, while he and the owner dumped dollars upon dollars into the business, advertising, and more, to keep everything 'well' for their clients and employees. So, please...businesses go under all the time, I am sorry you lost your money. Wade & I lost a lot more. No, the holiday season was not filled with glee and happiness, the contrary actually. It does not feel good to lose something you have worked very hard at and more difficult to not reach your goal. Also difficult to keep a staff happy, to help a company run well after it's previous 'leader' left, to help clients settle their own IRS debt that they themselves created, and to successfully achieve one's goal to further a company who's only goal is to help the public and do good by people, and much more. It was not easy for anyone, I am sure.
I am sure that all parties involved feel a loss in some way. I am not involved in the business aspect of this complaint (to an extent), but, I personally know of the sacrifices made to help you, the client, out, financially & personally. I have invested in companies before, filed complaints myself, and unfortunately, you are wrong on the aspect of them being thieves, VERY WRONG. Albeit painful to you, you are wrong. ALTHOUGH YOU MENTION THAT IT IS ALL FRIENDS, I AM NOT PERSONALLY INVOLVED AND/OR A FRIEND TO ANY OF THE PARTIES TO THIS POSTING, do not misjudge my posting as favoring any party involved, I just thought you should know, and I have proof on many of the matters you have written about. Please make sure your facts are correct before you disparage people on the internet, and ever for that matter.
