Gary has hosted his own radio talk show (“Law Review”) and appeared or consulted on a number of national and local broadcasts (such as “Dollars and Common Sense”, ABC’s “This Week” and CBS’ “60 Minutes”) concerning tax and IRS-related issues. He has been referenced with approval in the Congressional Record, and consulted with the U. S. Senate Conference Committee in the drafting of The Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights I, and The Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights II. Mr. Dettloff began his legal career with the United States Treasury Department, where he served for 71/2 years in various positions. His government work was recognized with five grades of promotion in addition to a Superior Performance Award, a Special Achievement award and a Federal Executive Award within that time. As an Estate and Gift Attorney, he was part of the transitional team that implemented the initial audit plans for the current Unified Credit system. In the Director’s Office, Gary helped devise and then designed and implemented the nation’s first systematic effort to solve taxpayer problems from within the IRS. Today, the District test program set up using Mr. Dettloff’s guidelines (first published by the IRS as Problem Resolution Procedures) operates nationwide as the Taxpayer Advocate’s Office. Gary enjoys serving his clients and community daily. His work offers one more avenue for that service, where he dedicates his efforts on behalf of his clients towards providing effective representation, practical advice and the lowest legal tax.

Reviews for Gary
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I made an appointment for a meet and greet with Gary and spent about 1 hour with him and he told me he charges $300/Hr to do tax returns. At the end of the meet and greet he told me the charge for our one hour conversation was $300. I could understand charging $300 for actual case work or to do someone's taxes, but $300 for a meet and greet as I decided if this lawyer would be a good fit for me or not? I paid his fee but feel cheated and when I contacted him he refused to refund my money.
