Elizabeth Ellen Gonsalves

I spent a very stressful month consulting with 4 accountants in NYC and NJ as well a few lawyers in LA, Nyc and NJ. I received disparate information, scare tactics, sordid information, folks not returning my calls or trying to ask for retainers for $3500.00 before even talking to me. I did not ...know whom to trust and was running out of patience trying to find someone. I obtained ...Elizabeth Gonsalvos number from the LA bar association by random chance. We scheduled a phone call for that day . I was expecting to pay a fee and then schedule a proper meeting which would usually involved a consultation fee as well. Ms Gonsalves was steadfast, strong, smart, friendly, caring and genuinely concerned. She problem solved with me for over 2 hours and sorted the problem entirely from start to finish never impatient and always intriqued to learn more about how to handle it. I have never met a more eager keen attorney who actually wants to solve the situaion in a timely manner and not drag it out or accrue a huge bill. She went onto the IRS webpage with me showing where she was getting her information to show she was not inventing the answers as some others I talked with were. Issues that have taken 2 months for me to get resolved and me not trusting anyone were finished in 2 hours and I could not have felt more confident in Ms. Gonsalves exepertse and problem solving. I trust her entirely. I offered to pay her money; she refused. She literally saved me at least a few thousand dollars as well as gave me a priceless peace of mind. I did not know lawyers like these existed She learned as well regarding the issues we chatted about and was happy to learn new information and genuinely cares. I was ready to hire her; as she has success in tax abatement. She has a team of folks to help at cost effective measure yet accepted no money. She takes the time and even helped me draft a letter and followed up the next day via email on detailed steps of what I was to do next. I was able to sleep well after finally seeking the answers after 2 months so bring your business to her !!!! Thank you Ms. Gonsalves You are a lifesaver!!

If you are reading this review, you are researching tax lawyers and perhaps have some unresolved tax issues. STOP and contact Ms. Gonsalves now. You won't find better representation. If you want to be treated with respect, understanding and a diligent, ETHICAL, and collaborative approach to your... tax situation, Ms. Gonsalves is, candidly, your best option. Honestly, I can not recommend Liz highly enough. I had a rather involved and drawn out situation. I was thorough in my research (or so I thought) and hired a "reputable" company to help resolve my situation. Thousands of dollars and over a year later, I was no further to a resolution than when I started. I was fortunate to find Ms. Gonsalves, who agreed to take on my case and represent me with the IRS. Ms. Gonsalves is not just good, but excellent and acheived a very favorable outcome. I really do wish there was something I could write to help you make the decision to contact Liz; because I can probably relate to the position you're in and know Liz will be your best option to deal with it. Bottom Line 1. Ms. Gonsalves is an attorney who can represent you in your dealings with the IRS. 2. She has experience dealing specifically with tax issues and the IRS 3. You will get an honest assessment of your situation and what you can reasonably expect; e.g. She won't promise something she can't deliver. 4. She is fair and reasonable. I hope this helps you in making your determination. Scott S.
