Roger frequently shares his knowledge in his Tax Tip blog and with other LinkedIn members. This is evidence of his skill in representing taxpayers against the IRS. I commended his efforts in helping the little guy. Roger is a very compassionate attorney who cares about his clients and I thank Roger for his untiring dedication in helping people to get through difficult times.

As an EA, I’ve worked along side of Roger Kasny for 30 years in representing clients who owe the IRS a lot of money. They come to us when their wages are garnished, liens are filed on house and property or they have received a notice that several years of their returns are to be audited. Roger is able to see the big picture and systematically work out a strategy.

When the IRS Letter moved from "Let's have coffee" to a complete" in my house audit of 2 full years" a lawyer friend referred Roger Kasny. Roger took control of me and provided the requested documentation with explanation. He provided a clear explanation of the issues and parameters. He worked beautifully with our accountant (who has since referred him to other clients).

Hire this tax attorney to represent you in matters with the IRS! You’re no doubt reading this because you’ve somehow run afoul of the IRS and are facing back taxes and penalties and don’t know where to turn.

I have been a practicing bankruptcy attorney for 27 years. Over that time I have crossed paths with many tax attorneys. Many of those seem to have problems getting the job done. Not Roger. He is always thorough, extremely knowledgeable and he gets the job done in my experience. I refer my clients to Roger and I am happy to have him as a valuable resource for my clients.

Roger may not even recall, but I called him for advice on a tax issue many years ago. He provided detailed advice and direction and did not even charge me for a short, professional consultation that really helped. Thank you.
