Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I highly recommend Mary King P.L. She is a great choice when you are hit with a devastating tax bill!

Mary takes the fear out of the process and handles all of the scary details on your behalf.
Law Office of Mary E. King, P.L. is the most professional, most efficient, most capable and competent, Law Office I've ever dealt with while doing complex nation wide or local as well as an international contracting deals, for over 35 years. I was so afraid that my case would be rejected, but Mary had respectfully taken my case, and handled it so gracefully with most care I've ever experienced in legal industry, with above any mark results, as her dedication for a quick successful results and best ever outcome is a true blessing in my life. With great grace and professionalism this extremely experienced Law Office (that did not waste any of my time not even one phone call until the complete job was done and all in my best interest), with Mary E. King's leadership, I was able to get my personal life and my business, on right track again. This office is more affordable than any of my past accountants or attorneys who were not able to even comprehend the level of requirements needed,
I wanted to say thank you again to Mary King, for helping to resolve my case quickly and efficiently. I had a deadline with the IRS and Mary handled it with plenty of time to spare. Mary is very personable and extremely polite, and did not rush me as I explained my concerns prior to her accepting me as a client. I appreciate everything she did for me and I will not hesitate to call on her firm should I need assistance in the future. She would be my first phone call, and probably the only call I would need to make.
I highly recommend Mary King as an attorney and would not hesitate to use her legal services in the future. She was very knowledgeable and able to clearly explain what, when, and why specific steps/paperwork needed to be done during an estate resolution. Very easy to work with and answered all questions in a timely manner.
We consulted Ms. King regarding a tax law/IRS Regulation. We were able to meet with her in a timely manner, and she patiently explained the law and answered all of our questions. We would not hesitate to contact her again if needed. Very Satisfied.
Ms. King did an excellent job on my behalf with my tax audit problems with the IRS. For a very reasonable fee she took care of a lot of monies the IRS said I owed them. With little fuss, solid professionalism and responsive reliable care she handled this touchy situation for me in a quick, expeditious but through manner. I know for a fact if you have IRS issues you need to get with her now and she'll take care of this for you. Thank you again, Ms. King.
Hands down the best attorney for our needs. A shady employer from my youth had double income taxed me without my knowledge. It slipped through the cracks for years without my knowledge. Then, one year I file my taxes and get hit with an astronomical bill full of fees of penalties, fines, etc. Not to mention they withheld my refund check. It was a devastating blow to us. Stressful to no end. We tried contacting the IRS, of course, they were no help. It was Mary King who fought for our rights. It seemed to be a long drawn out process but Mary King never lost drive in getting what we needed. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.
Mary King- Is the nd tax attorney I have hired. The first one was good, but Ms King is excellent and should have been my first one, I would not have needed a second attorney. I highly recommend Ms King. Very impressive....
Mary was so helpful with my father’s estate as I live in Wyoming and he was in Florida. She answered all my questions and demonstrated excellent communication with me, especially since I was unable to travel during the height of the pandemic. She is very knowledgeable and compassionate. I would definitely recommend Mary and her team.
I would like to thank Mary King and her competent staff for solving my tax issues. The no nonsense work ethic was refreshing. The speed and outcome of my case was astonishing. I would not hesitate to use her expertise in the field of tax law in the future. I highly recommend anyone whose has a tax problem to contact Mary King as soon as possible.
Thank you again,
