Philip H Karter

When I called this highly-reviewed tax expert in the Philadelphia region for more information than communicated by a personal tax attorney I had retained, I had not seen that Counselor Philip Karter's impressive credentials are for corporate clients. Yet he kindly swiftly grasped my personal situation he illuminated and equipped for going forward and even responded to email follow-up to a savvy question he raised though I'm not his niche clientele. He would be my choice for strong experienced expeditious confident success including via the pro direct line to the IRS Internal Advocate Service.

After two bad experiences I hired Mr. Karter and could not be happier. case was settled quickly and to my satisfaction. I could be more pleased.

Phil assisted my company by providing advice on internal process, with a view toward protecting communications and preserving attorney-client privilege. We had sought his advice because of his solid reputation in the tax controversy area, and because we thought his experience in that area might give him a unique perspective on the potential implications of internal practices. It was a good move. Phil met with our senior tax management team and provided us with a solid technical explanation plus practical, thoughtful advice for navigating the many difficulties companies face in dealing with internal communications. I would not hesitate to engage Phil for tax litigation or audit assistance, or for ancillary projects such as advising on matters that could have significance in a future tax proceeding.

We had a tough situation with IRS audit and were in urgent need of legal Tax expert who could help resolve sticky situation.

Our CPA referred us to Philip's company. We met with him to discuss our rather old and complex federal tax issue. We had tried several times to handle the issue on our own but failed miserably. We needed someone experienced and knowledgeable. The case was rather complex and we weren't able to provide him with all of the necessary information. He was patient and understanding. He took the time to review all of the facts and piece together as much of the puzzle as he could before he proceeded. He explained the process to me. He discussed what he was doing as well as what he felt was the best course of action and why. He would check in with me periodically even if there was no new information on our case. He would tell me what he thought our chances of success would be and why. In the end, we got the result we were seeking and much more. Phil believes in fighting for the little guys like us and works very hard at it. I certainly hope that I never have another issue with the IRS, but if I did, I would not hesitate to call Phil. You will not find an attorney with more integrity than him.

Earlier this year, another attorney referred me to Phil when I had some tax questions and had no idea where to seek assistance or advice. I'm so glad I reached out to him. Phil went above and beyond my expectations to make sure that I clearly understood next steps for my situation. After working with Phil, I felt relieved knowing that I consulted an experienced attorney who was knowledgeable, professional and made always himself available to answer my questions. I'm grateful for his guidance during that time and would absolutely recommend him in the future.

Phil assisted my husband and I during an IRS audit of our business. We had spoken to several attorneys prior to speaking with Phil. We definitely made the right choice. His knowledge and confidence put us at ease during a very stressful time. He was always available and communicated with us throughout the entire process. We are forever grateful to his dedication and would absolutely recommend him.

When faced with significant professional issues related to an executive position I held that that put me between the proverbial "rock and a hard place", I was referred to Philip by another attorney and friend who advised me that Philip could help. Thanks to his knowledge, advice and support, the right decisions were made and the crisis averted. I would recommend Philip to anyone needing sound business guidance in a time of turmoil.
