THE BEST TAX AND BUSINESS ATTORNEY

My family was facing serious Tax issues and Attorney Charles was very helpful in the entire process. The issues were resolved and my family is very happy. I can recommend him to anyone and I am very thankful.

Glad I spoke with him that day

I was working on merely getting an expert opinion from a lawyer with regards to a tax exempt status application I was working on so I made a couple of calls one fine day in September. Charles Dillon Esq was one of the lawyers I called. He got back to me later that day and after explaining what I was... after he cut to the chase and told me that "an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure". He then promised to take a look at my case and go from there if I was interested in getting the work done right. I went to see him in his office and since then I have been amazed at his humility, professionalism, attention to detail, sense of humor among other qualities. He is also willing to work with your budget, though the quality of his work is such that he can charge any sum he wants. I am a happy customer with the work he did on my foundation. I highly recommend him and I intend to work with him on other projects in the not too distant future.

He Saved Me!

I didn't know where else to turn and luckily found Charles on the Internet. His in depth knowledge about tax and business saved me and my family from financial ruin. He is very easy to speak with and is completely non-judgmental. Thank goodness there are attorneys like Charles out there! Choose h...im to help you. I can't recommend him enough.

Down to earth and very knowledgeable

Charles Dillon was referred to us through another attorney to handle some very sticky tax issues that we were dealing with for our company. We were incorporated, but were facing some real debt that we would be personally liable for to the IRS and the state. Upon meeting him the first time I immedia...tely felt a sense of relief. His depth of knowledge about how we needed to approach our tax dilemma, as well as his "down to earth" demeanor put both my husband and myself at ease. It was almost as though he took the burden off our shoulders and put it on his. In all the subsequent meetings and phone calls throughout the process he was always very thorough in explaining each step to us in language we could understand. It was quite a process but in the end I was pleased with the outcome. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing representation, especially regarding tax issues--he's a genius!

World Class Strategist in Business Legal Structures

Charles has been a key legal strategist and business model architect for my company, as well as our chief legal counsel. He's sharp and deeply knowledgeable in business law and corporate tax structures, has invested his own personal time in helping us out, and has generally provided an invaluable ser...vice to my company. He gets my strongest recommendation.
