Fortress Tax Relief Reviews

Attorney Stephen **'s partner David ** handled my large and complex tax case. Mr. ** was very easy to work with and has a very strategic approach for tax resolution for individuals as well as businesses. I highly recommend Fortress Tax Relief and Attorney David **.

For years, I carried the heavy burden of tax debt, convinced that working harder would eventually get me back on track. But despite my best efforts, I kept falling deeper into a cycle of penalties, compounding interest, and mounting stress. In my search for real help, I eventually found Fortress Tax Relief—a firm that immediately stood out because they assign licensed attorneys, not clerks or call center staff, to handle cases. That distinction would prove to be critical. But before I made the decision to work with Fortress, I made the unfortunate mistake of hiring another company that seemed reputable at the time.

When I look at the value a service provider brings—whether in my personal or professional life—I usually boil it down to two things: price and results. With Fortress, I felt I paid a fair price, but the results went way beyond what I ever expected. I had fallen into serious IRS debt after self-funding a startup with my retirement savings. My goal wasn’t just to set up a long repayment plan—I wanted to actually reduce the IRS’s taxes, interest, and penalties. Fortress made that happen. In the end, we closed my IRS matter with a six-figure reduction. To say my expectations were exceeded would be an understatement. I can honestly say I’d highly recommend Fortress to anyone dealing with IRS issues.

I was very grateful to receive the help and expertise provided by the staff at Fortress Tax Relief. They helped me tremendously, by walking me through the process of all the steps required to assist my elderly Mother in resolving a complicated IRS issue. They assisted me in stopping any garnishments or property seizures that would have taken place without their help.

I’ve had the good fortune of being represented by David ** of Fortress Tax Relief. I would characterize Mr. ** as tenacious in the best sense of the word as it relates to the handling of my case with the IRS given his dogged attention to detail and a work ethic second to none. Add to this his adeptness at navigating the complex landscape of IRS policies and procedures and you end up with an attorney who leaves you totally confident that you are being represented by someone who possesses an abundance of legal skills and who takes great pride in their work. I sleep much better at night knowing that my case is the capable hands of David **.

I am 73 years old and have unfiled taxes for years gone by for both Oregon and the IRS. I had a really hard time finding anyone with any good experience, dealing with the state of Oregon in particular. I finally contacted Fortress Tax relief and was given a great team headed by David **. It turned out to be the best call I ever made! I owed the Oregon Department of revenue over $70,000. David ** and the Fortress Tax teams years of experience settled my debt for under $6000! There is absolutely no way I could have done this on my own! I highly recommend Fortress! They actually do what they say!

I’m 66 and was in for $80k. Financial Fortress set me up with a fantastic team headed up by a very experienced, talented and patient lawyer David ** and his team. Although my case took some time based on the IRS rules and my circumstances. The end result worked out well and the settlement to the IRS was about $1,000.00. This took so much stress away and I’m grateful!

Called Fortress Tax Services for questions regarding extended time to file due to my w2. Representative was very pleasant and assured me I had until Sept for late taxes, also regarding questions about an amendment and how to go about it. He was very helpful and it was a pleasure.

I can’t say enough good things about Fortress Tax Relief (David)! From start to finish, their team was professional, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. It took me a while to gather all my documents, but they never rushed me and were always supportive throughout the process. I had a significant tax debt—even though I was making my monthly payments, it felt like I was never going to get out from under it. To make matters worse, I added new taxes from the next year. I was completely overwhelmed. Fortress stepped in and took the stress off my shoulders, handling negotiations over several months to get me a plan that was actually affordable and manageable. Their expertise and dedication truly made a difference. If you're feeling stuck with tax debt, I highly recommend Fortress Tax Relief—they helped me find a way forward when I couldn’t see one myself!

Peter and Karlin at Fortress went above and beyond to help my dad resolve his IRS and CA DOR debts after he fell behind due to major medical issues. Their expertise and experience were evident, throughout the process—they knew exactly what to do and how to handle everything with confidence and efficiency. Beyond that they showed genuine care, respect, and kindness, acknowledging not just my dad’s financial struggles but his health challenges as well. Their professionalism and compassion during my dad’s final years made a stressful situation easier and we are incredibly grateful. Highly recommend Fortress!
