Long Island Tax Debt Relief
The Frank Law Firm provided me with legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I came to them to review and explain a legal contract I had signed. Amanda was very knowledgeable and explained the document thoroughly. She was very reassuring, and honest in answering all my questions. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking legal representation to reach out to this firm.
Thomas Frank came highly recommended by an attorney I trust and represented me in a complex matter against a large business entity represented by a large NYC firm. He immediately grasped the nature and scope of my case and came up with a brilliant, linear strategy in short order. Just as swiftly, Thomas strategically executed on each step. I have worked with white glove law firms and have never found the level of consistency and professionalism that Thomas provided in his capacity of counsel. He literally made zero mistakes, even in the moments of game time decisions in the courtroom. Not only that, his creativity and judgement led to an outcome that exceeded my expectations, and, as a human being, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend Thomas Frank highly enough!
We came to Frank Law Firm because our original attorney put us in a scenario where everything was mismanaged. Amanda quickly cleaned up our previous attorneys mess and put us back on track. From day one they were very transparent about their process and fees. They provided fantastic guidance for us as new home owners. The team was highly responsive and often took time to ensure we fully understood potential outcomes and next steps. Overall we would work with them again and recommend to friends.
Amanda was a pleasure to work with!!! Selling and buying a home at the same time is very stressful too begin with and my experience was very difficult and stressful to say the least. Amanda was so patient, always available, and very knowledgeable to every question and concern that I had. I was truly blessed to have her represent me with both of my transactions. I would definitely recommend The Frank Law Firm to anyone that is looking for the best lawyers out there!!!
Amanda was extremely attentive and followed up on everything promptly. The law firm was professional and courteous and I highly recommend it.
Top of the line customer service. Helped me get my moving violation dismissed and I didn't have to do anything ! Was certain I would get in some trouble but was completely shocked when I received the news that it was completely dismissed. In the past with other law firms I paid a lot of money to only get the penalty months later. The Frank Law Firm dealt with my situation in the most kind and professional way. Very nice people.

Thomas Frank was a pleasure to work with. The experience was nothing but a professional one. Mr. Frank guided me through the whole process of Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He was always available to reach by email or texting at any time that I contacted him. He never failed to get back to me within hours. I highly recommend Mr. Frank for all of your legal issues. Also, you'll find their price for their legal services to be more than fair. Again, a great big thank you to a professional and knowledgeable team.
I needed an attorney quick fast and in a hurry. My girlfriend recommended this firm. I called and Amanda got back to me quickly. She researched my issue and gave me good guidance. She is a former prosecutor but able to explain convoluted legal concepts in a very straight forward way. We didn't wind up retaining the firm due to the time contraints of our case, but I know we will be working with them in the future. Give them a call, I think you will like what you hear.
I would like to thank Thomas in handling my first time home buying experience with his law firm. He was very polite and very professional. He even took the time to explain to me page by page about some documents I received from the seller, which by the way it was on his spare time to answer all of my concerns about those documents. He responded on every email and text that I had questions and concerns and I got answers. Thomas made himself accessible and told me if I have any other closing related issues pertaining any documents to give him a call. Thank you once again on doing a great job. I would highly recommend Thomas Frank and his law firm.
I retained Frank Law Firm when I received a warrant for an unpaid ticket. Not knowing the severity of this issue, I called and consulted Amanda. Before giving me any direction, she took the time to make some calls and figure out what exactly was going on. She then guided me through the process. She was very comforting and explained everything in a manor that I understood. I would like to send a sincere thank you to her and Frank Law Firm. The amount of attention and guidance I received was refreshing. I would recommend them to anyone!
The Frank Law firm has helped me and my family tremendously. Amanda has been nothing but a blessing with her vast knowledge and resources, Me and My family were very satisfied with their service. Would definitely recommended them.
I'm a real estate investor in NY and I honestly could not ask to partner up with any firm better than the incredible people at Frank Law Firm. There passion, love and dedication for what they do is evident. I can't thank them enough for everything they have helped me with so far and we are only going to grow from here...
IRS Tax Debt Lawyer Long Island
An IRS debt attorney on Long Island who only watches the IRS clock is missing half the picture. The IRS generally has 10 years from assessment to collect. New York State can go 20 years from the date of a tax warrant, and that warrant is a public record that works like a judgment, opening the door to income executions, bank levies, and liens on your property.
Owe the state $10,000 or more and it can refer you to the DMV for a license suspension after a 60-day notice. As your IRS tax debt lawyer and state tax debt lawyer on Long Island, we treat the two agencies as two separate problems, because they are.
Tax Settlement Attorney Long Island
Tax debt rarely shows up alone. It sits next to a mortgage, a business, high property taxes, or a refinance that suddenly stalled. Because we also handle foreclosure defense, real estate, and bankruptcy, we look at all of it together. A tax lien attorney who only sees the lien can miss the closing it's about to derail.
As your tax debt relief attorney and tax negotiation lawyer on Long Island, we review your notices and balances, help file any missing returns first, and give you an honest read on payment plans, hardship status, offers in compromise, penalty abatement, appeals, and bankruptcy. Home equity can count against you in an offer, so we check that early. As your tax settlement attorney, we'll also tell you plainly when you won't qualify. We work with clients in Jericho, Franklin Square, West Babylon, Patchogue, Islip, and Port Jefferson Station, and across Queens.
Tax Negotiation Lawyer Long Island
Have a question about your situation? Start with a conversation.
Ask our teamIt depends on what your situation involves. A single unfiled return is a different job than an IRS levy plus a New York State warrant, so we can't honestly give you a flat number before we've looked at your notices. What we can tell you is that we explain how our fees work before you hire us, and clients have described us as transparent about our process and fees from day one. Be careful with anyone who guarantees results or asks for thousands of dollars upfront. The FTC warns that tax relief companies often do exactly that and leave people deeper in debt. Call (516) 246-5577 and ask us directly.
Yes, it can happen on Long Island and throughout New York. If you owe the state $10,000 or more in past-due tax, the Department of Taxation and Finance can refer you to the DMV, and it sends a 60-day notice first. That window matters, so don't let the letter sit. On Long Island, where getting to work, school, and appointments usually means driving, a suspension can hurt more than the tax bill itself. The IRS doesn't have this power. If you've received a notice, call us. As a state tax debt lawyer serving Long Island, we can look at your options inside that 60 days.
The IRS generally has 10 years from the date it assesses your tax to collect it, though installment agreements or a pending offer can pause or extend that clock. New York State works differently. A docketed tax warrant acts like a judgment lien, and the state has 20 years from the date of the warrant. If you never filed, or fraud is involved, there may be no time limit at all. Because a warrant is public and can attach to Long Island real estate, waiting it out is rarely a safe plan. A tax debt attorney can help you resolve the balance instead.
Sometimes, but not as often as people hope. Generally, income tax debt has to be at least three years old, the returns must have been filed, there can be no fraud, and the tax must have been assessed more than 240 days ago. Newer tax debt usually doesn't qualify for discharge, though Chapter 13 can stop IRS collection actions and set up a manageable payment plan. Because Thomas Frank began his career at a Syosset bankruptcy boutique, we're comfortable telling you when bankruptcy fits and when a payment plan or offer in compromise is the better move.
It depends on what's going on. Attorneys, CPAs, and enrolled agents can all represent you before the IRS, and for a straightforward collection issue a CPA or enrolled agent may be a cost-effective choice. An attorney is usually the safer starting point when there's legal exposure, such as a fraud question, a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty on a business, an enforcement action heading toward court, or a lien tangled up with a foreclosure or home sale. Communications with your attorney are also protected by attorney-client privilege. Many Long Island homeowners and business owners come to us with tax, mortgage, and business debt all at once.
A few things give it away. A real law firm won't guarantee results or promise to settle your debt for pennies on the dollar, because only the IRS or New York State decides what you qualify for. Be wary of unsolicited calls, confusing fees, and big upfront payments. The FTC warns about all three. Ask who will actually handle your file. At a law firm, it should be a licensed attorney, and you can verify any New York attorney through the state court system's attorney directory. If you're on Long Island and unsure about an offer you've received, call us at (516) 246-5577.
