Lawyer as Confidant

Life teaches some of us proud citizens unlearned lessons, eventually. OVDP tax problems can be so complex, so delicate, involving so much intricate private matter, which must be presented precisely per official stipulation, that eventually even self-reliant, adamant taxpayers need a wise, dependab...le mind to confide in. IRS international rules threatened my inheritance, my finances, and even my freedom. Mr. Sean M. Golding's empathetic expertise and timely decision-making involved me in positive actions and actual solutions. My results were: no penalties, no legal issues. My own mind now rests easy, at peace. Confidential tax and legal matters? Lesson learned: call Sean!

Sean Golding saved my business. Period.

The EDD was breathing down my neck. I was being audited and accused of miscategorizing 100s of workers as independent contractors. And because of that I was facing potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars of unpaid payroll taxes, penalties and late fees if things didn't go in my favor. In no unce...rtain terms, this was the fight of my business' life. So I knew I needed a champion tax attorney. All total I interviewed seven law firms and chose Golding & Golding out of all of them. Sean Golding himself represented me. He was exceptionally bright and professional with the added bonus of being personable and warm. It was a year-long battle, but under Sean's advocacy, we won at the first level appeal and the second level appeal. The audit concluded with not only my owing no money but also with a ruling that every one of my 100+ workers were PROPERLY categorized as independent contractors not employees. I'm happy to give this little testimonial about Golding & Golding because a) they deserve it and b) I shudder to think what might have happened if I'd gone elsewhere or worse, tried to go it alone. If you're in need of tax or legal advice, I would highly recommend this firm.
