Charles I Cate

Congratulations! Since you have found the web site for Charles Cate and are probably looking for a lawyer, your search is over; you have no need to look any further. For over four years, Charles has represented me personally and the two nationwide veterans' organizations of which I am the Presiden...t. Charles is a consummate, knowledgeable and extremely savvy legal professional. He knows perplexing, arcane tax law inside and out. He is fast and adroit in researching legal issues. He is a master of writing a succinct, clear and compelling letter representing your best interests. He is a wily negotiator on the phone, and I have found that when he shows up in person, invariably good things happen. Charles knows how to talk to the IRS; he knows how to negotiate with the IRS. He understands the mentality of the IRS. He used to work for the IRS; he knows how they think, what will work and what will not. I have learned he knows how to present the strongest case possible. The veterans' organizations that I lead have high visibility and hard earned credibility. Our veterans' groups have personally sponsored events where I have introduced over 100 Members of the United States Congress. Our publication has published original articles done just for us by two sitting Presidents, four major party candidates for President, 14 Cabinet Secretaries, over 20 Presidential appointees from the Department of Defense, and over 130 U. S. Senators, Congressmen and Congresswomen. We have no room for error. Strict compliance is paramount to us. Charles has guided us through challenges large and small. In the short and long run, he has saved us many thousands of dollars. Charles does the job for the optimum minimum of time. On any hourly fee basis, he will not expend an extra minute on a case where it is not required. Long ago, I stopped even scrutinizing his carefully documented invoices, where he indicates what he did and how long he took to arrive at the final bill. After a while, I found there was no need, I just look at the bottom line and know we are getting great value from his services. I know he has a wide practice beyond tax law. Should he decide to represent you, he will protect you, sooth your nerves if need be and allow you to get back to your business, knowing that your issues will be handled. Charles is highly credentialed and up to date on the many issues that arise in his practice. He is a decorated Army Officer who served in Vietnam. He is man of strong character and good humor. A big plus in having him represent you, is that it is always a pleasure to coordinate and communicate with him. Again, Congratulations to you for finding Charles Cate. I give him my unqualified recommendation.
