Took the stress away

I was very stressed when I first went to see Sheldon, by the end of the first meeting I felt that there was hope. He assured me that he would handle everything and he did. Any contact with the IRS went thru him and his staff. His legal assistant Lori was extremely helpful. Finally, we did an offer i...n compromise that was accepted. If you have IRS problems he is the one to hire.

excellent

Sheldon took my case and worked on it for 7 years diligently acting in my interest with professionalism and acumen. He was able to resolve a major issue that I thought would drastically impact my life and alter my quality of life in a way I would have thought impossible. I would trust him with any ...tax related problems and have already referred my son and other friends to him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
