Is “James Eagle” a pseudonym or did he consent to the disclousre of his name here.

My clients don’t want anyone to know they have had tax problems. They would be furious with me and probably report me to the Florida bar had I published their names and and information about their cases on my website.

Then again, maybe James Eagle is his real name and maybe he didn’t consent to having it disclosed on your website because you tell your other clients to “watch for your name here.” That certainly implies that you are using their real names and that you are surprising these lucky souls by making them “clients of the month?”

By the way, isn’t that sort of like being named “Patient of the Month” at a Herpes clinic?

Finally, I would be interested in hearing some details on Mr. Eagle’s case.

How old is he?

Is he in good or poor health?

What were his equity in assets, his monthly income and his monthly necessary living expenses?

(I assume it was a doubt as to collectibility offer)

$2,400 on $212,000 is, of course, extraordinary and I am sure you don’t want to mislead potential clients into thinking that result is typical.

If Eagle was 96 years old, had 3 months to live, there was 12 days left on the Statute of Limitations and he was homeless, this doesn’t tell us much about the IRS offer in compromise program or your company’s skills, does it?

Just keepin’ it real.
