Neil Jay Buchalter

It was late in 2008, I was presented with a tax audit which became very complex. It resulted in owing over 2 million dollars in tax and penalties. What started as a civil audit became a criminal case. I went to various legal firms. I left those offices feeling depressed and despondent when they told ...me in so many words that my outcome would be federal prison. My depresseion went to despair and at times I felt suicidal. A short time later I was recommended by several attorneys to see Mr. Neil Buchalter. Upon my first visit with Mr. Buchalter I felt a flicker of hope. Within 2 or 3 minutes of crying and trying to explain my situation, this human being came from behind his desk and sat next to me. He gave me a hug and said "Ed, you are going to be OK, I promise you." From that moment I felt that someone cared about my situation and that he was going to do everything in his power to keep me from prision. I felt like a "U-Haul" was just lifted from my back. Mr. Buchalter besides being a credit to his profession is a competent, intelligent professional and compassionate soul. When he took my case, he kept me advised with phone calls, letters and meetings and mostly to make sure I was coping . He reassured me at my weakest moments that everything was coming along. Mr. Buchalter kept his promise and more. I served no time I prison. He worked directly with the IRS and negotiated a very satisfying Installment plan with the IRS. Through Mr, Buchalter's perseverance I have moved on with my life. With no hesitation, I can truthfully say that Neil Buchalter "saved my life". There is absolutely no way that I would have survived this emotionally stressful period of my life with his competence, friendship and faith in God. EW, DDS.
