“There is no tax problem that Eric hasn't already handled at least 50 times, at least I don't think so. If you need someone that knows the ins and out of the IRS procedures- Eric is the guy. Eric will not only have the answer to any problem you may have, but he also will have Plan B and Plan C. You can't go wrong with Eric.” – Marvin Mann
