AG Suing TV Tax Attorney Roni Deutch For $34M

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ― You may have seen her on TV, now you may see her in court. Attorney General Jerry Brown has filed a $34 million lawsuit against "Tax Lady Roni Deutch" saying she's swindled thousands of people.

Duetch can be seen in advertisements on late-night TV as well as tax advice shows on NBC's Today Show, CNN, and CNBC. The AG says Deutch spends $3 million a year on advertising and tries to create credibility by boasting that her law firm is the largest of its kind.

"Tax Lady Roni Deutch is engaged in a heartless scheme that swindled people with tax problems," Brown said. "She promises to significantly reduce their IRS tax debts, but instead preys on their vulnerability, taking large up-front payments but providing little or no help in lowering their tax bills."

According to the AG, Deutch's sales agents claim she has a success rate of 99% with the IRS, but the AG says only about 10% of her clients actually get their taxes reduces.

...uses that person's first name over and over and over. Often multiple times in the same sentence.

For that reason alone she should be sued.
