The IRS shows up, they hand you a wad of bills and forms and basically it all looks like an inch-thick stack of death warrants... then the agent smiles, looks just a bit too obviously as if he's adding up the fire sale income potential of everything in your office from computer to paneling nails to your sneakers... and says "I'll expect to hear from you in an exruciatingly short amount of time." Your only rational reaction is to start crying, half because the scenes of your life flashing before your eyes are not as enthralling as you'd hoped they'd be as cardiac arrest approaches -- and half because you feel that no matter what you do, say, or provide in your defense, it's YOU vs. THE INTERNAL REVENUE, and there is just no possible way to win. Even if you have a gun in the safe, the computer and the phone are closer. So the second step after checking to make sure you have a pulse is to google any and all possible tax relief assistance, pick up the phone, and make that initial scary call. I AM THRILLED that the number my search provided led me to OMNI. From the first conversation -- during which time I was not only verbally assured, but truly felt, that I was not being judged as bad, unpatriotic, stupid, or even inadequate in my accounting practices, for having found myself in arrears with the tax authorities -- I knew I was in the right hands. My case was quickly assigned to the brilliant Sarah Covell who, not only through her expertise and experience, but also her tender and truly caring bedside manner, if you will, has handled my financial dealings (making TREMENDOUS inroads) with both the Federal and State agents looking to sell my blood as an acceptable collection action. I have literally called, faxed, texted, emailed and smoke-signaled Sarah -- and her amazing assistant, Shannon Glorioso -- at all hours of the morning, day and night. Separately and together, they have been able to turn monstrous attitudes among the municipal bullies into quiet, professional and much friendlier approaches to dealing with me and my business as we now seek -- instead of bloody combat and the declaration of an all-powerful victor - RESOLUTION. Sarah has put her extensive background handling these cases daily for years (and seemingly, in her sleep as well) to work for me reducing amounts sought and pointing out flaws in the calculations, tactics and expectations of what I saw as ruthless barbarians but she is able to deal with as the entities they are, each subject to scrutiny themselves and accountability that I as a lay person (a TERRIFIED lay person) would not think to ask for or apply. When the chips are down -- and we are still fighting my cases, but making tremendous progress -- you HAVE to have a team you truly trust with your life. And with my life on the line so many times in this battle, OMNI FINANCIAL is the only bodyguard I can imagine having as my representative in trying to work out my debts to a place where they are ACTUALLY what I owe... and able to be handled in a way that will not only satisfy the government but allow me to survive in business and personally. I thank GOD that I found Omni; and I thank Omni that I can still breathe. read more

This is the second time I have posted my review below. The first time I posted my review about my experiences with Omni, someone deleted it. i have just as much right to post my review as anyone else and I DON'T appreciate someone trying to deny me that right. I hired Omni Financial to work on abatement of penalties and/or interest with the IRS. My $3,500 retainer was used up, but nothing was done for me as promised. I used to be a paralegal, and I know that nothing is ever a guarantee, but at the same time, I expected that some change to our financial situation with the IRS would have taken place as a result of Omni Financial working on our behalf. Omni has done nothing at all to change or help our situation with the IRS! Nothing, neither positive or negative, nothing! I was promised by the initial Omni Rep. who contacted me that my $3,500 retainer would be sufficient as a flat fee to complete our abatement issues with the IRS for our back tax debts. Even though I have been told that my entire retainer has been depleted (and I never was sent any billing statement until after the fact!), nothing has been done to either resolve or improve our financial situation at all, or even change it from the way it was before Omni was even in the picture! IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME! I could have stood here and burned $3,500 and been the better for it! Omni (Rachel Gillette, Esq.) has done nothing on our behalf at all, except a lot of "padded" billing (which I just today received!) and wasted time not doing what I requested. Both myself and my CPA have done everything so far, and Omni has not helped at all, but yet has used up all of my $3,500 retainer. Omni Financial is just another financial scam created to dupe unsuspecting consumers out of their money, and I have had to learn a very expensive lesson here. No part of our initial request for abatement of penalties and/or interest for our back taxes with the IRS has been resolved at all. I have also had to re-explain quite a few times this same request a few times, as they were not always on track with what I needed them to do: the IRS abatement only, and not any State obligations. The only winner here has been Omni, because they got my $3,500, money that I didn't have to just throw away. And I have nothing to show for that money, no change at all to our situation. If I had known about all the complaints against this company on ripoffreport.com I never would have gone with them. I have really never been so taken advantage of before. read more

I can honestly say that I believe it was providential that I located Omni Financial on line in search of a highly professional firm to partner with me on IRS problems. I see all the advertisements on TV about helping with your tax problems but never thought that I would need one much less call one of these who so highly advertise. I am an independent person who has always tried to solve my own problems and almost to a fault. The day came that with the negotiation with IRS was just more than I felt I could handle alone. I searched to seek on line for assistance. Somehow, someway, Omni Financial was the one I saw that seemed to be the firm that I should call. I did and now I am a huge fan of this professional group of people who I feel like I know when we have never met and may never meet. From the initial conversation with Don Anderson until now working with Michael Luby and Reina Roman, I am confident that this was the right decision for me. The attitude of these folks, the tireless effort, the patience, the professionalism, and the partnership that I feel with them is phenomenal. I have been a professional for many years, dealt in customer service, and have high expectations. These folks have exceeded my expectations and even though, we have lots of work yet to do, I feel so assured that I am not in this fight alone. I appreciate their willingness to meet me when I need them most, make things happen, and yet feel that I am moving forward in this challenge. THANK YOU MICHAEL AND REINA for always making me feel this way when we talk, email, or in writing. It is comforting to leave a threatening environment to one of professional comfort and partnership. This firm can be proud of folks like you who represent them. I applaud all of you. read more

I am responsible for a $2 million IRS indebtedness caused by trying to keep a failing business afloat. When I started to incur this debt, I received Omni Financial's information package, which was kept on my desk for a couple of years, while I tried to deal directly with the IRS. IRS agents had been providing dubious advice and threatening increasingly-aggressive collection activities. Meanwhile, my wife and I suffered through many sleepless nights, had terrible arguments trying to deal with this issue, and were getting more and more desperate at the seemingly impossible situation we were facing. Finally, I engaged Omni, and it became immediately obvious that this was a great move. With hindsight, I should have engaged them years earlier. Our advisor, Will Beard, assessed the situation, and immediately demonstrated his expertise at IRS collection rules and procedures, and dealing with clients! Will was able to assure us of our rights, assure us that our assets would be protected, and immediately took over the responsibility of dealing directly with the IRS. Over the last several years, Will has provided ongoing direction in filing responses to IRS information requirements, and answered all of our questions. New IRS issues were repeatedly handled during this period. Pending any surprises, we expect this $2 million debt to expire within the next several months, and we have had complete peace of mind from day one of getting this great company working for us. Thanks, Will Beard, and all of the staff of Omni Financial. read more

Omni Financial is the real deal! At first I was hesitant because I didn't know much about them, but, once I contacted Omni Financial, it has been the best investment I have made in my life. In the months that have passed since I have asked for their services, I have been impressed by their professionalism and outstanding support with my tax relief. Words cannot express how important it is to have someone take the burdens of tax relief and actually, give you a reason to hope for the future in financial recovery. Omni Financial helped my family and I regain our dignity and confidence. They also provided a great feeling of comfort by their sincere efforts to contact me and follow up with letters, phone calls and emails in a timely manner. The guidance and assurance of answering my questions, next steps I needed to take and the overall knowledge and learned awareness of tax procedures was very instrumental to me and my family as we pressed forward. It was a great feeling knowing that Omni Financial was battling in the corner with me all the time in reaching a financial settlement. My wife and I are extremely satisfied with the services rendered and the professional representatives that we have worked with at Omni Financial and highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance with tax relief. They are simply outstanding! Actually, they are more than outstanding! THEY ARE THE BEST EVER! Wendell Davis read more

Having a tax liability and thinking all along that you can handle it, it the worst burden a business and an individual can have. Not knowing which way to turn. Ashley McCuaig and his team stepped in when things were at their worst. The immediate steps they took and the determination to get us back on track and work out an agreement with the IRS was amazing. Dealing with our IRS agent definitely had some challenges. Ashley's team worked very hard and quickly to resolve one situation after the other. We were able to work out a installment agreement with the IRS that works for us during busy and slow seasons. We still have a long road ahead of us but knowing that Omni Financial is there guiding me to get back on track, it seems less stressful. Dealing with the IRS is stressful enough especially when you have a officer who does not respond and does not guide you the proper way. Having OMNI deal with the IRS directly helped take some of the stress away and the calmness in talking to them when I was at my worst, helped me get through this difficult situation. THANK YOU for all you have done for me. Words really cannot express what you have done. read more

For years, my husband and I ignored many notices from the IRS about back taxes that we owed, then one day I get a knock at the door from and IRS agent and our lives felt like they were about to change. The lady was nice, but let me know that time had caught up with us, and they would no longer wait to be paid. That day, I did research and found a company call Omni Financial, and I thank God I made that phone call. My mind has been more at peace than it has for years. Michael Luby, and his team, especially Reina Roman, have helped me more than I could EVER thank them for. They never once made me feel as if a was a bad person for not paying my taxes, they are kind, they listen, they help me get my taxes in order, they work with the IRS agent to get a payment plan set up,( one that I can live with), they remind me when certain things are due. Each and every sigle time I talk with them they are kind, helpful, honest, considerate and most of all, even though we've only met by phone and e-mail, they let me know they care. And that means every thing in the world to me.. read more

Omni Financial RIPOFF, LIARS..STAY AWAY!!! I contacted this company last Oct 2008 in hopes of stopping a wage garnishment and dealing with our Federal tax issues. I spoke with Alan Demke who 'promised' they could stop the wage garnishment and come up with a reasonable, drastically reduced payment plan. After paying them over $1500, they did NOTHING. They stated due to the tax liability, they would need an additional $1000, which was not part of the agreement. We ended up with our wages, specifically my wife's, still being garnished and we lost $1500. After repeated attempts to contact them, no calls or emails were returned. Other than the last call we made, we received an email stating due to our uncooperation of not paying them, they would cease representing us. You are better off contacting the IRS yourself. Even though it can be time consuming, you will get better satisfaction. read more

I am not sure how I found OMNI Financial but am I glad that I did. I was in big trouble with the IRS and getting in deeper and deeper. As soon as I retained OMNI they stopped the immediate collections from the IRS. Soon after, we started the process of the "Offer in Compromise". It took awhile, but in the end, OMNI's professionalism won out. The IRS accepted out "offer". Thank God and OMNI! The professional and caring people at OMNI really saved us from financial ruin. When the economy went "south" so did our business. We were in the process of losing our home and everything we had worked so hard for. Even though OMNI was not our realtor LOL they had great advise and compassion for us. I would certainly tell people to retain the fine people at OMNI to help them. Char M read more

I received an ugly letter from the IRS and really panicked. Whenever I began googling financial institutions to help me, things didn't get any better for me until I called Omni Financial. The guy I spoke with first made me feel better right off the bat. As we proceeded and I began working with the specialist that took my case, things were better from then on. She was always pleasant, courteous, very professional and extremely knowledgeable - in fact, they all were! The best part was that they were able to help get me out of the mess I was in! I would definitely recommend Omni Financial to anyone in a similar situation - and will do so if I ever have the opportunity. Thanks, you guys!! read more

Stay as far away from Omni as you can, after four long years and $20,000.00 I was no better after letting Omni handle the IRS as i was when they started. My original Tax lien was only $27,000. and after fours years, i paid as much to Omni as i am now paying the IRS. After this experience, I have learned the IRS is not as hard and scary to deal with as most people think. Omni will make lots of calls and send lots of letters, but in the end, it is all about the money that they can get from you, your tax debt is a distant second concern of theirs. I'm sure not all tax services operate this way, but as someone who learned the hard way, stay as far away as you can. read more

In a very dark period of my business life, with the IRS and others beating down the door while I lost 80% of my income, Omni Financial took my case three years ago, and has been an outstanding advocate for me and my (now-defunct) business. I have been immensely relieved over the 3 years they have been representing me, and their work has been extremely professional AND effective! There are many services out in the world who claim they can help, but Omni, in my book, is the one who has truly come through. You won't be disappointed if you choose them to help you out, too. Don't wait-- they have an excellent team. read more

I was so scared when the IRS walked into my business and I didnt know where to turn! I looked up several companies and decided to go with Omni Financial. Olivia was helpful and made me feel comfortable right away...I knew I had chosen the right company. She worked on my case tirelessly....even after normal business hours and told me to contact her when I needed anything...sometimes I forgot about the time difference and called her quite early...but she was always there for me! I wouldn't have felt comfortable with anyone else handling such a potentially life changing matter!!! C in Missouri read more

I would like to say how grateful I am for Omni Financial and Samantha Gardner and her team... She has worked with me and for me as hard as anyone possibly could. She has fought for me and my company as hard as I feel she would have for her own. The documentation and everything she has done for our company has been very thorough and was presented very professional and in a way that was successful. So I am forever grateful and am looking forward to continue working with her to resolve the remaining issues...Thanks again, Omni, Samantha and a big thank you to Kevin Nathern as well. read more

I have had the pleasure of working with the great guys at Omni over the past year. The gentleman that managed my case was Mr. Josh Riggs. Great knowledge base, very professional, stayed on task with everything-giving me frequent updates along the way-just a great guy! Very vested in his client base and it showed throughout the process. If you are going to war with the IRS you deff want these guys in yr camp. Justin was also outstanding exhibiting caring and a strong desire to help. I know in this case 5 stars are the best but this group warrants a 6+!! Doug read more

I was hounded by the IRS, then decided to give Omni Financial a call. Before long a small monthly installment plan was established for what turned out to be pennies on the thousands of dollars owed, including penalites. Currently, I'm in position to pay off the remaining small amount owed to IRS and then all my problems with them will soon be a thing of the past. Thanks Omni, with special thanks to Clarice Landreth for seeing me through those rough times. Could not have done it without you fine folks. I highly recommend the professionals at Omni Financial. read more

Nothing but 5 stars for Omni. I have had tax issues for many years that I just didn't know how how to deal with. Signing on with Omni was the best decision I made. I finally feel like I will get my life back. Ron Young and Paul Stockwell along with others at Omni have helped me make it through very tough times with the IRS. The work they have done on my behalf has been very thorough and professional.They have been very compassionate in dealing with me and my tax issue. I feel very lucky to have had them on my side. read more
