About Justin
Justin Clement is an attorney at Optima Tax Relief who works on tax resolution matters for individuals and businesses. He practices in an area of law that requires both technical knowledge and steady client communication. Clement’s work centers on resolving outstanding tax liabilities and helping clients engage with tax authorities.
Clement’s background is rooted in tax controversy and dispute resolution. Over time he developed familiarity with how federal and state tax agencies operate and with the procedural steps that follow when returns, audits or assessments lead to collection actions. He evaluates cases to determine the most practical routes for relief, weighing options that range from negotiated payment plans to more formal settlement proposals.
His day-to-day practice includes preparing submissions to the IRS and state tax authorities, negotiating installment agreements, and pursuing reductions through accepted offer programs. He also addresses issues that arise when tax liens or levies are filed, and he works to secure release or modification of collection actions when warranted. Clement advises clients on documentation needed to support positions, and on the administrative remedies that can stop or limit enforced collections.
Clement’s approach emphasizes direct communication and explainable steps. He meets clients’ immediate needs through triage: identifying urgent collection risks, freezing deadlines where possible, and mapping a longer-term strategy. He explains options in plain terms so clients can make informed decisions. When dealing with agency personnel, he keeps records of correspondence and seeks confirmations in writing, aiming to reduce confusion in often bureaucratic processes.
Outside the file work, Clement spends time reviewing changes in tax procedure and agency guidance that affect resolution strategies. The practice requires keeping up with shifting IRS and state policies. He monitors how those changes affect commonly used relief mechanisms and adjusts recommendations accordingly.
Clients who come to Optima Tax Relief for assistance typically face overdue tax bills, notices of intent to levy, or wage garnishment. Clement handles intake interviews, organizes financial disclosures, calculates feasible payment proposals, and presents those cases to the appropriate revenue officers. He works within the firm’s framework to coordinate appeals and to prepare any necessary paperwork for formal settlement programs.
He is currently practicing at Optima Tax Relief, representing taxpayers in negotiations, collection defense, and related tax resolution matters.
