First-class human being

I contacted Mr. Jefferson after I was rudely brushed off by another local tax expert who was "too busy to speak with me" and wouldn't do so "unless I was already a client." In stark contrast, Mr. Jefferson agreed to meet with me on short notice to help me work through a tax matter several days before a tax deadline. He listened patiently as I shared my concerns in order to help me with my tax issues. In a world where the almighty dollar often governs business relationships, it was a blessing to see that there are still quality, caring human beings like Mr. Jefferson who believe that serving others is the key to success. If you are looking for an attorney who will genuinely care about helping you as an individual, I highly recommend contacting Mr. Jefferson.

Saved My Company Thousands

We were in a situation where we behind on paying taxes and received letters from the IRS for thousands of dollars. Nehemiah rectified the situation and we ended up paying NO FINES to the IRS and back in good standing with them. We are so thankful for him working for us!

Refreshing experience.

Mr. Jefferson assisted me with, what had become, a lingering tax matter. Upon reviewing the case he offered me praise for what I had done thus far, but then the assurance that he would handle it from there and that the outcome would be suffice. His experience in tax law, consistent updates and professionalism all played roles in him surpassing those assurances, in a timely manner. His expertise, advice and overall handling of this matter has earned him my annual income-tax business.

Accessible and Knowledgeable

This attorney is accessible and easy to work with. I had an issue arise, and was able to communicate with him right of way. His service didn't change once the agreement ink dried, and continues to keep an eye on this matter until it is 100% fixed. Seemed very experienced, and happy to help folks deal with an intimidating entity.

Avvo Review - Personal Will

If you are in need of professional, powerful and positive legal services than Attorney Nehemiah Jefferson is the lawyer for you. I was in need of a Personal Will and was referred to him. He’s a direct, straight shooter and knows his wheelhouse. Upon my first meeting with him, I could tell that he is extremely knowledgeable and really needs no introduction. Of particular note for you or someone you may know, who is in need of his services; he’s very personable, timely and goes above and beyond to help his clients receive the services that best suit you. If I had it to do all over again, I’d choose him every time. Why? Because I know he will deliver 100% every time.
