Chris J Sheldon

Chris Sheldon is not only wonderful to work with, but a savvy, smart, strategic, creative and highly effective counsel. He helped us understand our situation implicitly, and worked with us to determine a favorable path. Then, he went to work on the details, and scored a home run that left us in the b...est possible situation given the severity of our circumstances. I would recommend Chris to anyone in need of a smart solution to a difficult problem. He is approachable, but direct, yet makes it easy to talk through sometimes uncomfortable details. He is a winner!

I obtained Chris Sheldon's name in my search for a referral to a tax attorney. I could not have been more pleased with his approach and his fairness. I had an issue with the IRS that I had been trying to achieve a satisfactory resolution to for several years. I finally decided to bite the bullet and ...hire an expert to help me. Chris achieved a resolution that I had hoped for; but. did not believe was ever going to be possible, in a very short period of time. My many thanks to him and his firm. If someone needs help with income tax issues, you will be making a big mistake if you do not speak with Chris.

I was referred to Chris Sheldon after my failed attempts to resolve my issues with the IRS directly. My outstanding tax amount was minimal in comparison to cases Chris is used to dealing with. That did not alter the time he took to resolve my issue. He was timely in resolving my issue. He kept me... informed with each step he took. He is very knowledgeable and gave me several options to resolve my concerns. I felt very at ease putting my issues in his hands. Chris understood what my budget was to resolve the issue and did not take advantage of what he could charge me. This was very important to me and Chris understood this. I would recommend him to anyone who had a situation such as mine in the future. I'm happy to say I had an outstanding result to my issue and he was able to save me substantially in the amount I owed. I could have never resolved this without Chris. I truly appreciate him.

Having worked for the IRS for several years, Mr. Sheldon brings a level of understanding to his profession that is, simply stated, invaluable to his clients. Couple that with his professionalism, flexibility and accessibility (ie. quick responses), commitment to financial responsibility (very fair b...illing practices) and overall compassion for our "big picture", and that is why we will recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing this type of counsel. We received a level of resolution to our case that we feel may not have been achieved any other way.

Long story short- sibling was trustee of family trust, and responsible for elderly mothers care. Over a period of 5 years he embezzled her entire life savings (substantial), used here retirement and social security income as his own, failed to file her federal and state income taxes, or pay property ...taxes on her primary and investment residences. This created a major obstacle in settling the estate, as he left it basically insolvent. Chris worked diligently to resolve all tax issues by meeting with myself and my tax professional, advising us on how best to resolve the personal back tax issues, and move forward with the estate taxes to bring everything up to date. He succesfully represented the trust before the IRS, in the reallocation of personal and trust income to the responsible party, decreasing the overall tax liability to a manageable level. Additionally, through the appeals process, he obtained an abatement of the late payment, penalties and interest charges assesed by the IRS. As a result of Chris's extensive knowledge of the internal workings of the IRS, his persistence, and unwavering desire to obtain the best possible outcome for his clients, we were able to return the trust to a solvent state, resulting in a modest distribution to the beneficiaries at trust closing. On behalf of the beneficiaries and myself, thank you for a job very well done! Ed
