I am Marty Martelle, owner of Martelle Law Offices PA. For the last
5 years I have focused on representing taxpayers in trouble with the
Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. Before that, I was a
general practitioner with an emphasis on consumer and small business
Bankruptcy, which was about 60% of my practice. I also handled a
variety of other matters: Business, Real Estate, a few criminal
cases and a little divorce. I would handle whatever clients came to
me. I have to admit that being involved with that many areas of law
prevented me from getting really good at any area of law, except
Bankruptcy.
I learned to
represent taxpayers, who are in trouble, initially by trial and error. I
learned a little about Offer in Compromises and a little about
Bankruptcy Discharge by doing them. I did a few Offers over the
years. Then, I had a client who had serious tax problems. He
owed the IRS about $100,000. He didn't want to file
Bankruptcy. So we did an Offer in Compromise. After
stumbling my way through getting it processed and the usual long wait
the Offer Specialist for the IRS contacted me. I tried as best I
could to negotiate with him, but he had all the advantages. He
knew how much a valid offer was. He knew how much the IRS would
settle for. He knew that I had little experience in Offers.
In short, we were getting nowhere. We had offered $18,000 to
settle the matter. He advised me that the Government would take no
less than $75,000.
At a meeting
with my client, he advised me that, since we couldn't get a reasonable
OIC accepted, he would just have to file Bankruptcy. He really
didn't want to for a variety of reasons. So, I contacted the Offer
Specialist and started asking him about the specific dates particular
taxes had been assessed. As we went through the assessment dates,
he asked me why I wanted them. I advised him since we couldn't get
an Offer in Compromise settled that my client was going to file
Bankruptcy. I did a quick analysis of what was dischargable in
Bankruptcy and advised the Offer Specialist that only about $12,000 was
not dischargable in Bankruptcy. I advised him that we would file
Chapter 13 and pay the $12,000 over 5 years, with only minimal
interest.
The Offer
Specialist asked me to put my analysis in writing. I sent him a
written analysis of just how much the IRS would receive in
Bankruptcy. I also prepared and attached a Chapter 13 Petition and
Plan. About 1 week later I received a call from the Offer
Specialist. He advised me that he would recommend that the IRS
accept my clients original $18,000. We settled with the IRS and my
client was very pleased.
After that
experience a light bulb went off. I discovered that practically no
Attorneys were handling Tax Problem matters. I found an
organization that had a comprehensive program to teach Tax Problem
Resolution. I paid $5,995 to join that organization. I applied
myself and learned how to represent clients with Tax Problems. I
also learned how to market my new practice. I made the money I spent on
that program back within the first 2 months of joining the
organization. In 6 months my practice was almost completely
handling Tax Problems and Bankruptcy. I was too busy to do the
other types of cases! And my income grew.
I found that there was a perfect fit between a consumer
and small business Bankruptcy practice and a Tax Problem Resolution practice.
The clients with debt problems often have tax problems and visa
versa.
Today,
my firm does little other than Tax Problem and Bankruptcy, although the
clients often need other services, such as incorporation or an LLC
formed. I have become the "Go To" expert in Tax Problem
Resolution and Bankruptcy Discharge in my area. And my firm has
grown. I went from myself and one secretary to 3 full time
assistants and 2 part time attorneys and myself. And my income has
grown.
