From GPolizos:
I highly recommend David for his services. I still do not know how he managed to handle the "mess" I presented him with, but he did it very successfully. I was being audited by the IRS, for the first time, and the stress level was high. I had never dealt with that before and I am definitely not an accounting guy. The original tax estimate that I had to pay was roughly 70K with no penalties. In this economy and with a non-working wife and a baby I was freaking out. David and Anne spend a lot of time gathering all the documents and properly reviewing for the audit. It did take us 2 month to collect everything but we were able to present a good case. I was actually interviewed by the IRS myself with David present. It took exactly 3 months from start to finish to get the final verdict which was outstanding. David managed to get me a refund one of the years and pay only 10K for the other year in question. Overall my net liability was 3K, signed and sealed. My wife and I could not be happier and that's why we are staying with David from now on as out accountant and tax specialist. Thank you Dave and Anne!

From O.C. Businessman:
I would recommend David for the fact that he makes himself available to you quickly when you have questions and/or concerns, which is reassuring when you are dealing with tax law issues. He also has the type of personality that puts people at ease and can relax situations that could otherwise be tense. His bookkeeper Ann is thorough and detail-oriented, which is great to ensure that things do not slip through the cracks. Overall, they are a good, honest team that gets the job done!

From Correspondence Audit:
One of the biggest questions when faced with a dreaded correspondence audit is whether to just handle it yourself and hope for the best. Don't gamble! Hire David and Lee, true tax professionals with years of experience and a calming approach to such a dreaded undertaking. By investing in their representation, following their instruction and trusting their expertise I was guided smoothly through the process and received a favorable determination in just a few months. The tax code is extremely complicated and changing constantly. Even as a licensed attorney myself, I did not feel confident in navigating these waters on my own. They bring extensive tax knowledge that can only be earned through successful representation over many years. My questions were addressed thoroughly and timely. I was never left to wonder as to the status of my file. I knew during my initial meeting with David that I was in good hands. His sense of humor and caring were a welcome response to the stressful surprise of an audit notice. Lee's attention and patience with my many questions were heroic. Don't gamble. Make the investment. See the results.

From Irvine97:
I consulted with David Klasing on a foreign tax related matter. Even though this kind of problem is not very common, he was very well versed in the topic. He took the time to listen to the particulars of my case and answer all my questions. He was calm and reassuring and recommended a course of action that addressed the problem with the least amount of work and expense. He's easily accessible by email and telephone. His billing is prompt and very transparent. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a tax attorney in Southern California.

From IRS audit:
In February 2010, I received a notice from the IRS that they wanted additional information regarding my 2007 small business enterprise that I started in the 1980's which evolved over time to include legal services. I do my own taxes at my peril, and I did not at that time, seek professional help with the audit.
The 2007 audit requested information on deductions included legal fees, business expenses relating to car, travel, toll roads, etc. which I responded to by providing them with the information I had. I must admit that my business records are not perfect but in my opinion are more than adequate. After two additional rounds of IRS inquiries and responses, I received a letter stating that they were going to disallow my entire 2007 business loss because I was not meeting the 3/5 business rule. Based on their letter, you need to be profitable three out of five years. The disallowance, penalties and all the other fees the IRS piled on were significant and I finally sought help from David Klasing, an Attorney and a Certified Public Accountant (Not a bad combination) whose name I obtained from a referral from one of his previous clients who was more than satisfied with his service.
During the initial meeting he immediately noticed deficiencies in the IRS letter and after retaining him, he quickly, using his legal and accountant network developed a strategy to respond to the IRS audit. Subsequently, in my opinion he did an excellent job, kept me apprised of the development, form that needed to be filed, and kept track of his fees so that I could tell what he was doing. He subsequently filed the Appeal with the IRS including all the applicable data needed for the Appeal. Within a few weeks in November 2010, the IRS notified David Klasing that there was no deficiency, no penalty and my 2007 case is closed. If you have an IRS problem, I would recommend a very competent David Klasing; an Attorney and a Certified Public Accountant.
From Herth:
Because of my inability to pay my federal taxes as they became due I went for several years just filing my California return only. I was visited at my home by an IRS revenue agent, which prompted me to engage the services of a local Tax Representation Firm, which I later learned was actually based in Florida. After agreeing to pay them in $1,000 increments and putting down my first $1000, the Florida Outfit went for over a week without even so much as a making the promised call upon receipt, to my IRS agent to explain my situation. At this point I contacted David W. Klasing in an absolute panic. Dave counseled me on breaking my contract with the Florida firm and advised me to stop payment on the credit card that I had used to pay them.
Upon my very first meeting Dave made a phone call to my agent and explained my situation which soothed a great deal of my fears. I suffered a debilitating brain injury and Dave was very sensitive to my condition.He was efficient and sensitive to my personal issues. His customer service coupled with his expertise in Tax were a God send. Dave is also a Christian and his spiritual support helped me through this trying time.
Within under a week Dave helped put together seven years of returns (one of which he had to prepare himself) a collection information statement and got a package off to the IRS collection officer and to proper department of the IRS such that the returns they the IRS had prepared for me were replaced with his versions.
Dave's QUICK expert response to my situation has alleviated so much stress.
Thank you!
From krisztianr1:
After getting an audit notice from the IRS I googled tax attorneys and found David. I called him and he immediately impressed me with his expert advice and confident approach. After meeting with him the next day, my wife and I were 100% certain that we choose the right man for the job.
My audit was handled via mail and the dreaded face to face in person probing was avoided. Without David, we would have been in a much different position.
He follows up to your requests quickly and professionally, which is very
important in my book. I am certain it was his experience and confidence in dealing with our auditor that kept us out of the IRS building.
I strongly recommend him, in fact he is our new tax preparer, he promised to keep us out of trouble from now on.
From OC Resident:
Upon receipt of an in-office audit notice from the IRS, my wife and I were shocked. My wife googled tax attorneys and found David W. Klasing under the BBB website. After counseling us in person at his Irvine Office, we concluded in retaining Dave as our lawyer. Dave is very professional and knowledgeable with all related tax laws. He was able to present a well organized package at our face to face meeting with the IRS agent. We are very happy with the final results of our audit and we recommend Dave for all your tax related issues.
From Phillip Hannawi:
I highly recommend Mr. Klasing for handling your tax issues. Very professional service.
From Vgonzalez:
His efforts on my behalf were very timely and extremely helpful.
From California Customer:
David listened to my issues, diligently worked out a strategy to help me through my case and I felt comfortable with his representation. He was honest from the beginning and did a good job throughout my case. He is one of the few good ones out there.
From HakunaMatata:
On February 19 my tax refund was already direct deposited by the government into my bank account! Life is great in LA/Orange County because we can enjoy dinners prepared by the very best chefs, concerts performed by the most talented artists, and the satisfaction of planning for and submitting the most professionally prepared tax returns to the government. We are blessed by those who are the very best at what they do...things we cannot do ourselves. David W. Klasing, Attorney-at-Law, M.S.-Tax, and Certified Public Accountant made the complex tax time an easy and worry-free procedure from our initial visit to receipt of a very impressive copy of my tax returns. I believe the best way to minimize taxes through planning and avoid issues with the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board is by being a client of this tax law office. Thank you!
From Pattip:
David is very competent and confident in what he does. It is a pleasure doing business with him.
From Nowaka:
In all my dealings with Mr. Klasing I found him very professional, very thorough and very knowledgeable. I am very happy with his work and the final results.
From momof3Dprophet:
This is my first public recommendation, and testimonials are not particularly my thing. However, I feel compelled to briefly write about my recent experience with David Klasing. I received a letter from the California State Franchise Tax Board in 2009 stating I owed $17,000.00 in capital gains taxes from 2005. This news was not only unexpected, it was devastating. I tried to get my bankruptcy lawyer to handle this, but I kept getting vague reports that he was "working on it." In the mean time, the State of California put a levy on my checking account and "removed" over two thousand dollars from my account without warning. I decided to be pro-active and did a Google search on tax attorneys and David Klasing's name was the first on the list. I called and I had a confirmed appointment for the following Saturday - Mr. Klasing accommodated my scheduled days off. I met with him once at his office in Irving (I live in the Victorville area) and we exchanged a few e-mails after that for approximately one and a half weeks. In short, Mr. Klasing made my debt go away and now the State of California owes me the money they "took" out of my checking account. He also did my current 2009 taxes and I am getting money back on the state and federal levels, after having "Fast tax" tell me I was going to owe state taxes. Mr. Klasing worked miracles for me in a short amount of time, with little effort on my part. I am truly grateful to him for all he did for me and I highly recommend him for any, and all tax issues. He was also very reasonably priced compared to other tax attorneys in the area. Thank you, David!
From SmithNewportBeach:
I came to Mr. Klasing's office in a bit a of a panic after receiving a letter from the IRS requesting an audit. During our initial consultation, I was impressed with his sincere appreciation for my concerns and outright fear of dealing with the IRS. I elected to have him represent me during the audit and could not have been happier with his preparation and attention to details. As an engineer, it is rare that I encounter people that are more detail oriented than me. Throughout the process and preparation for my audit, Mr. Klasing always responded to my questions in a timely and professional manner. I have no reservations about recommending his services and currently remain a client.
From Rhoda:
David is a GREAT CPA and Tax Attorney. I was referred to him and he was very compassionate about what I was going through. He was able to take my mess and make sense of it and present it to the IRS. I came out of the IRS happy as happy can be. He is remarkable in both practice areas.
From Hosny:
I recommend David W. Klasing because of his experience, integrity and his fee is very reasonable. He was always available on the phone and in person. He was compassionate with me and made me feel less anxious and give me a piece of mind knowing I have a good presentation. He is also a good artist.
From eee123:
David Klasing helped me with processing IRS forms for taxes due on Swiss accounts, he sent everything on time and was able to get a fast response.
