the Site includes general information on commonly encountered legal issues.

licensed attorney in your area.
From time to time, IRSzoom.com may perform certain attorney access services and
introduce our visitors to attorneys through various methods, including but not
limited to (i) legal insurance plans, (ii) third party attorney directory
listings, (iii) third party limited scope agreements and (iv) third party
attorney referral services. At no time is an attorney-client relationship
fostered or created through the performance of any such services.
