IRS Levy Attorney in Melbourne, FL
Brevard County’s IRS Levy Attorney: Former Insurance Defense, Now Fighting for You
An IRS levy is a legal seizure of your property or wages to satisfy unpaid tax debt. Unlike a lien, which is only a claim against property, a levy is the IRS actually taking it. When the IRS sends a Final Notice of Intent to Levy, you have 30 days to act before collection begins. That window matters, and how you use it matters more.
We represent Brevard County residents facing IRS collection action, including bank and wage levies. David Mann personally handles every case at Mann Law, from the first phone call through resolution. There’s no handoff to a paralegal or case manager.
If you’ve received a levy notice or your wages are already being garnished, call us today at (321) 461-5482. A free consultation with David Mann is available by phone, in person, or virtually.

How Bankruptcy Can Stop an IRS Levy
Filing for bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. 362. That stay goes into effect the moment the petition is filed and immediately halts most collection activity, including levies, wage garnishments, foreclosure proceedings, and creditor lawsuits. The IRS can continue auditing, requesting unfiled returns, or making assessments, but active collection stops.
For people dealing with IRS collection alongside other debt, this legal tool addresses the full picture at once rather than tackling each creditor separately. Florida’s exemption statutes are among the strongest in the country, which affects how much of your property is protected through the process.
Chapter 7
Chapter 7 discharges most unsecured debt, typically within four months of filing, for filers who pass the means test and hold limited nonexempt property. Certain older income tax debts can be dischargeable in Chapter 7 when specific conditions are met.
Chapter 13
Chapter 13 restructures debt into a three to five-year repayment plan under 11 U.S.C. 1322. It fits filers with income above the state median or nonexempt assets they want to protect. Chapter 13 can allow repayment of priority tax debt over the plan’s term rather than through immediate levy action, giving many filers a more manageable path forward.
