I hired Christian Montgomery to handle my tax debt issue with the IRS, and I am so glad I did. Christian provided me prompt communication, always answered my questions and kept me apprised of our progress in the case. Most importantly, Christian obtained excellent results in this legal matter. I would highly recommend Christian for any tax issue. Top caliber representation!

Christian did an amazing job for me negotiating my tax debt with the IRS. He walked me through every step of the way and never over promised anything but he did over deliver. 100% recommend Christian to go to work for you if you are in tax trouble. A+ job. Thanks again Christian.

I highly recommend Montgomery & Wetenkamp. Three years after moving out of state, I received a notice from the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) that a significant amount of taxes plus interest and late fees were owed for a year I neither worked nor lived in California. It just so happened I was six months pregnant when I received the notice and attempting to save up for an unpaid maternity leave- needless to say communication during this time was key to reducing my anxiety. Not only did Mr. Montgomery fully resolve my tax matter with the FTB but kept in excellent communication via both personal phone calls and email throughout the process. In his communications, Mr. Montgomery was forthcoming with the realities of my situation, both positive and negative, and what our options were. Mostly importantly, he kept me appraised of updates as soon as he was able to provide them often before I received the notices in the mail from the board. Thank you Montgomery & Wetenkamp.

Chris Montgomery charged way too much money only to disappoint at the end. I was a client at one point of his career. Gave false promises, insinuated a lot, unorganized, and has no positive-outcome influence. Told me everything will be alright in the end, but it's totally not. He just wants your money and will leech you for more. Beware, you have been warned. His partner, Wetenkamp, seems to be better and sincere. I won't be shocked if Wetenkamp drops out of their practice later on. Look elsewhere.

I hired Christian when the IRS issued a Trust Fund Recovery against me. I had never even heard of such a thing, and didn't know where to begin with defense. Christian explained the situation, process, and guided me through the entire process. He was realistic about the possibility of a positive outcome, and advised me on worst case scenario. Christian was easy to communicate with, kept me apprised of the progress in my case, and responsive to my questions. Against the odds, he obtained excellent results in my legal matter. I would recommend him and his firm for tax matters without reservation.

Called and exposed my problem. The guy who answered asked me if I owed a lot of money and I said no (because it's another matter) and practically didn't want to have nothing to do with it. Told me literally to try "someone who would do it for free" as if I was asking for a discount. I never asked for it. Disgusting

Christian helped me at one of the lowest points of my life. He was understanding and I would and have recommended him. If you think that you are capable of handling your problems ... it's a different ballgame with far better results if you hire Christian.

Christian. Hard to know what say. I went to him. With what my accountant called a "Hot mess.". I needed to file some returns. He recommended Jennifer Swyane. He stoppped any tax liens. I filed my taxes. Within a year a i had refund from the state. He arranged a low monthly payment. To the irs. I'll be done With the payments in a few months. I recommended Christian to everybody..

Mr. Montgomery was extremely helpful and informative. He was able to resolved my tax issue when I thought it was hopeless.

They saved me at the last minute my taxes. I filed 1099 for the first time and completely messed up! Definitely give them a try if you're unsure

I am at work one day and finance plops down an envelope - enclosed is a deduction of 50% of my gross paycheck. The feeling of knowing you are going to loose everything at that moment cannot be described. If you are reading this, it might be something you are experiencing right now. I knew for years I had an outstanding IRS debt out there, but hey it was okay to ignore it. Maybe they had forgotten, even though they had a personal lien against me for over $80,000. I did an internet search and looked around. Didn't want someone to old and pricey nor someone who was green and barely had their license. I saw Christian Montgomery and checked out the reviews. I have Sirius in my mini van and listen to CNN and their commercials about tax relief. Didn't want someone who I was just a number either and probably would not deal with the same person each call either.
Called this office and Christian asked questions and then he gave me their price to represent me. He also told me what he would represent for me. Sent him the check, the power- of - attorney and garnishment was gone while we negotiated. It took about a year to resolve the issue and get the final papers for my offer in comprise accepted. The IRS does not work fast. Christian would let me know what to expect in the paperwork submitted and the approximate time lines. Honestly, I am so glad that he represented me. It was such a relief to have this over with. It would have never happened without this law firm. I will say that the amount I had to pay was extremely reasonable and I have sent the check to the IRS.
Thank you guys for being there when I needed the help and being honest and taking away the anxiety. I highly recommend the law firm, they are there for you.

By far the best investment I've made in the last two years. This attorney is an ace! Take the words from someone who knows first hand. You will be very glad you did!

I never had issues with the IRS until I started to experience some hardships in my life that were beyond my control. To save money I normally did my own taxes online and I wasn't aware some tax laws had changed. When I received my notice from the IRS, I felt like my heart dropped. I didn't know what to do or where to start.

I read the reviews on yelp about this firm and decided to contact them. From the start, John was completely there for me without any judgement. He helped me from start to finish and thankfully the entire process gave me the freedom to continue living my life while he took care of the details. Communication was always great and John responded within the same business day. John also kept me updated on my case and gave me reasonable amount of time to respond. He also settled my debt for a fraction of the cost. This was a huge relief taken off my shoulders. Now I am free to get back to taking care of my family and living my life.

I would strongly recommend this firm because they will work with you from start to finish and they will not let you down. There was no way I could of gone through the process on my own without having some financial consequences.

Overall rating Excellent•I recommend Christian Montgomery.

If you find yourself in my same position is was in where your bank accounts have been taken over and/or you have letters from the IRS or State of California and you have no idea what to do.
Then Call Christian; he was able to extend the hands of hope with a well excited plan which only comes from experience and his commitment to his clients. You will get peace of mind so that you are able to begin to recover and begin fresh no matter how deep the hole you are in. NOONE wants to call a lawyer however when this happens to you this is the best option. Yes a CPA can help however they can only get you so far. I give Christian a 5 star rating.

To anyone looking for a great and reputable tax attorney(s) at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Montgomery & Wetenkamp. The day my husband and I received a 30 day tax lien for a debt of $26,000 (plus penalty fees), our lives at that moment became very stressful and hopeless. After searching for relief, I came across Montgomery & Wetenkamp website, gave them a call and was impressed with the amount of information Christian Montgomery had provided me with. Hiring him was the one of the best choices I’d made. He delivered what was expected out of an attorney. Christian was dedicated, committed, honest, and always communicated without me following up with him. Thanks to his incredible work, our case was solidified in a matter of a few months and was granted a hardship; an ending I never thought would be possible. Thank you, Christian!

I want to say THANK YOU !!! to the Law firm of Montgomery & Wetenkamp
