By the time I met Fred I had already worked through six other so called "experts" who said they could help me with my tax situation and none of them could. Or to put it another way, the demands required of me were so onerous that they ultimately could not offer me any viable options. I did not believe Fred could help me and almost did not take the first meeting with him. Thank God I did!!!! He worked closely with me through the whole process and ended what seemed to me was going to be a lifetime nightmare. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone for any tax problem you might be experiencing.

Fred Shemirani has become a critical asset to our company over the past 15 years. He first used his expertise to help us sort out and mitigate the consequences after we uncovered embezzlement that had caused our company to be unable to make timely tax payments. An IRS audit and payment demands by the State of California followed. Fred skillfully negotiated with both agencies, and both ultimately agreed to affordable payment plans that represented less than 20 percent of their original demands. In the years that have followed, Fred has guided us through every year’s tax filings, maximizing deductions and claiming all available credits. He always is there with advice on business strategy, helping us to avoid pitfalls in accounting and keeping abreast of new laws and regulations.

I had contacted Fred Shemirani about a year ago and set up a service agreement that he would settle my tax debt and resolve my worker’s compensation debt. Fred Shemirani worked very hard to eliminate my debt but we settled on an agreeable payment plan that I felt I could not have done it without the assistance of a professional like Fred.
Currently, I continue to utilize American Arbitrim services and I recommend everyone who has debt problem use American Arbitrim to solve it. Thank you Fred for all your help.

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your services in helping us solve our Corporation tax problems.
The results you achieved were far greater than expected. Others, including our CPA and attorney, told us we could not achieve anywhere near your results. We have referred your services to several other business associates in need of financial advice and assistance.
We would be more than willing to share some of our experience with any of your prospective clients.

I wanted to thank you for basically saving my business and my life. I know it may seem a little extreme (saving my life), but I had no idea how stressful it could be dealing with the Internal Revenue Service.
I actually thought I would loose everything until you stepped in and, by taking charge, took the responsibility off my shoulders. In doing so it allowed me to run my business and have peace of mind for myself and with my family. The end result was even better than I thought it would be.
On behalf of my family, employee's and I, thank you!
