Experienced, attentive, professional...and effective!

I was referred to Sat Nam by another firm when seeking to resolve a dispute with VA tax dept about my status while living overseas. What I found was a skilled listener, talented communicator and sharp legal mind. He expertly prepared a detailed and persuasive appeal that resulted in a reversal and fu...ll refund. Definitely not an experience I'd want to repeat, but working with Sat Nam was a great pleasure, and a really good decision!

Small Corporate Matter

Sat Nam was referred to me by another attorney (different practice) to assist me with addressing this work related matter. Sat Nam was very responsive and knowledgeable and was able to advise and guide me to successfully close out this ongoing situation to an acceptable outcome for both parties invo...lved. I especially appreciate his diligence and patience even though the matter at hand never exceeded his retainer fee. I would definitely recommend his services for matters both big and small and if the need ever arises again I would not hesitate to retain Sat Nam's services.

Nova Resident

A few months ago, I had a rather large tax issue with the state of Virginia. Upon a lawyer friend's recommendation, I contacted Mr. Khalsa and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. He is empathetic, knowledgeable, and hardworking. And, most important, he's effective. VA was asking for ba...ck taxes (a large sum) from a period in which I lived and worked overseas. Mr. Khalsa explained the law and the process in ways I could easily understand and resolved the issue. VA dropped the issue completely. We paid Mr. Khalsa a standard fee up front and he promptly returned the remaining balance. I can't recommend him highly enough if you have a tax issue. He's really a nice person and a terrific attorney.

Best and Honest Tax Lawyer

I would strongly recommend Sat Nam (10 stars if possible). I had an atypical audit for which I had consulted with multiple tax attorneys, including former IRS agents who had experience with field audits. However, none could provide a clear answer/solution. I had hired one of the so called "top" firms... in DC to handle my audit, however, they mishandled my case. I took a huge risk and fired that firm in the middle of the audit.... and requested Sat Nam to help me. He patiently listened to the complexity of the case. He suggested an approach which worked and the case was closed within couple months.

Excellent estate planning

Sat Nam helped my partner and I put together our will, durable powers of attorney, and advanced medical directives. He was terrific at explaining all the concepts and patient with all the questions we had. For folks who need help with estate planning, we highly recommend Sat Nam!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
