I just found this website as I was searching for any possible class action suits against this Horror of a "Law: office. I, too, was ripped off by these things that allege to be "lawyers" to help you settle your debt to the IRS. It is all a big, fat scandal!!!
They took over TWO years to get my paperwork together (which they constantly made mistakes on). By the time they got that together I got a pay raise making the OIC incorrect. It goes on and on.... The bottom line is that in the time it took them to get their s.... together and make a ridiculous offer of $20.00, I lost (as well as losing an appeal).
Now I am further in debt with the IRS and will declare BK to discharge most of it. The offices are "sharks" when they want their money!! I paid for LEGAL representation-but RARELY did I ever talk to an atty. After LONG waits on hold etc., you get to speak to a "representative" who really isn't even working on your case-they just field the calls.
There has to be something done about the scare tactics they use to make people believe that they will settle your case for pennies on the dollar. In reality, offers in compromise are extrememly difficult to do. I would like to sue them for malpractice, negligance and what ever else can come under the umbrella of their absolutely worthless practice!!!

(1) Kimberly and Marleme, tax debt may be dischargeable in bankruptcy, depending on a number of factors such as how long ago the taxes were due and how long ago you filed. I can't give legal advice but you might want to go to a reputable tax professional on this. (2) More generally, I'm sorry to hear that Kimberly and some of the others on the site have had bad experiences. Just as a point of information, the IRS put out a consumer alert last year about promoters encouraging taxpayers to file Offers in Compromise. The IRS said that the "program serves an important purpose for a select group of taxpayers," but there are "unscrupulous promoters charging excessive fees to taxpayers who have no chance of meeting the program's requirements." http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=120169,00.html Also from the IRS: "The IRS resolves less than one percent of all balance due accounts through the OIC program." http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=104593,00.html So, people who have heard about the Offer in Compromise program and think they might qualify should be careful before paying a fee to a promoter. In fact, the forms and instructions and other information are available for free from the IRS or on the IRS website, so you might want to check that out first. Hope this helps.

Kimberly, I am sorry you got stuck by this company. I had considered calling them when we owed back taxes, but decided not to. We finally were able to pay the debt through a re-payment plan with the IRS. We had to file bankruptcy and learned that you cannot discharge tax debt through bankruptcy. Is CA law different?
