After the consultation phone call I paid the $800 retainer. They sent me a financial report to fill out on myself then they began asking me for all kinds of documents. They charge $200/hour so you can imagine how fast that adds up considering they charge $20 just to read a simple form. Then came the relentless phone calls from his legal assistant Frances demanding more paperwork and threatening deadlines and from Janeen demanding payment. They claim to have called the IRS countless times on my behalf charging by the minute.
I finally caught on after paying out $2400 so I called the IRS myself. The agent said that all I needed was to fill out Form 433F, 2 pay stubs and 3 months bank statements. After 2 weeks she was done. I called Attorney Fouts who refused to talk so we correspond by e-mail. I vented and showed my dissatisfaction so they closed my case citing that I still owed them another $280. It was a hard lesson to learn because after paying $2400, nothing came out of it. Be careful.
