Extremely Pleased

I am extremely pleased with the way Sean and his firm handled my offshore reporting situation. I immigrated to the U.S. few years back and had few accounts of my home country left unreported due to ignorance of the U.S. tax laws. I was in the presumption that since I already paid taxes in my home cou...ntry, I no need to report. I became very worried when I became aware of the reporting requirement. Sean closely examined my situation and he educated me of various options available for me. He was very patient and answered all my questions on timely manner. After consulting him I felt relaxed. Sean and his firm were very supportive in the entire process to safely report my offshore accounts to the treasury. Overall I am very satisfied with the outcome.

Helpful & Quick

Having left the US over two decades ago, I was unaware of my filing obligations both in terms of income tax and FATCA and that I was unintentionally non-compliant. Have realised that I should have been filing, I started doing research on the internet on how to get back into compliance. Many of th...e websites that I saw from various 'advisors' suggested that I was going to be heavily fined and possibly convicted. When I found Golding & Golding's website, it was full of helpful information about the steps required to get back into compliance and the options available. I then contacted Sean who explained very clearly what my obligations were, how to rectify the situation and any potential liability I might have. He put my mind to rest on the potential downside of my situation. Sean and his team then quickly and efficiently processed all of the required filings and submitted them on my behalf. Although I did owe some money to the IRS, it was a fraction of what I had feared that it might be and now I can rest easy that I have met all my filing obligations. I can't thank Sean and his team enough for their advice and assistance.

Terrific Customer Service, Highly Knowledgeable

Sean was extremely helpful, patient, and responded within a few hours of my initial consultation request. After a quick chat, Sean helped me understand that my instance did not require an international tax attorney. I was highly impressed with the time that he still took to discuss my situation, even... after we after we both came to this realization. If I ever find myself in need of his services, I would absolutely hire him.

Fantastic job on FBAR Streamlined submission

I highly recommend Sean. Sean provided expert advise on my situation, completed the required forms and FBAR submissions to IRS with in just 2 weeks. Overall process was smooth start to finish with IRS accepting my streamlined submission successfully. He thoroughly knew various dimensions an...d factors to consider in which was evident right form the 1st consulting phone call (which was free) - Sean actively listened to my situation, assessed and advised clearly on next steps. I communicated with Sean and team only over phone and e-mail, however I always received prompt and detail responses. Throughout the process I always felt confident that they exactly know what they are doing.

Outstanding Service

Sean has provided us with an outstanding service throughout the streamlined procedure. Sean is straightforward, knowledgeable, reliable and extremely responsive. His empathic approach and ability to explain complicated matters in a simple way are very comforting in such a stressful situation. ...Even though we were leaving overseas with a 9 hour time difference, Sean was very flexible and always available to answer any questions. If you are looking for a top notch, reliable, flexible, empathic attorney then Sean is the right answer for you.
