An Honest Law Firm! I had a phone consultation with Ayar Law. Instead of... selling me a solution that would be minimally beneficial, they told me I could approach the IRS myself. She then answered all my question while providing the details of what I needed to do to resolve my IRS problem. At the end of the conversation I was told to feel free to call back if I have any more questions. Thank you! Ayar Law an honest competent Law Firm.read more

I own a tax preparation company in Columbus, Ohio. I got a letter of... introduction from Ayar Law in the mail that was very timely - I had a client with a unique tax situation that I really wanted to discuss from a legal perspective. I sent them an email with some pretty specific questions, and was pleasantly surprised to get a very speedy response. The answers were clear, concise, and raised the appropriate follow-up questions. A second email with follow-up questions received a similar response.I will definitely keep Ayar Law in mind for future tax law needs.Arnold Haas, EAread more

I was impressed. and also surprised. I had an analysis done and was... expecting an upsell on services in the end. This was NOT the case.

When I called for advice earlier today, I was truly impressed as well... shocked by the way the he (Attorney Dennis) and the receptionist handled my call. First off the receptionist is truly the epitome of a true professional receptionist. Secondly, the attorney was very polite, understanding, and very patient with me repeating information for me to finally grasp the jist of all that I needed to know. He never once cut me off to get a point across, he actually listened to everything I expressed to really under the questions I had for the purpose of my call. I must say that I would be more than comfortable and happy to do business with him in the future. God bless you Attorney Dennis Btw, he returned my call with a couple of minutes.read more

I had a wonderful experience working with Ayar Law to settle my tax debt.... From day one they were very helpful, friendly and understanding. I worked directly with Wendy and I could not have been more pleased! She was always promptly available to answer questions that I had as they arose and was very friendly and understanding of my personal situation. She was a real and approachable person which is something I myself require to feel at ease. This was not the first tax attorney group that I looked at.
