Fortress Tax Relief Reviews

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’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 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!
