About Mary

Florida Tax Attorney, Mary E. King Works Hard To End Your IRS Tax Problems.I have helped thousands of clients put their IRS problems behind them. I have done everything from putting clients into currently non-collectible status (where the IRS no longer tries to collect on their account), offers in compromise, installment agreements, defending and arguing innocent spouse cases, audits, removing levies, releasing liens, and negotiating penalty abatement.
I think it is important for clients to have local representation where they can either call me or come in to see me whenever they are concerned about their IRS problem. I want them to feel like I am lifting this burden off of their shoulders so that they do not need to be concerned about it and can sleep at night. I want to be the buffer between my clients and the IRS.
