A fantastic lawyer!

Sean Golding is a fantastic lawyer, who has been a pleasure to deal with and helped both my brother and me do resolve a tax matter that we were both VERY stressed about quickly and smoothly. We'd had no idea that we were meant to be filing taxes in the US as ex-pat citizens. When we found out, we th...ought it was the end of the world. As soon as we began working with Sean we both stopped feeling stressed and were able to relax and know that we were in very, very good hands. He was extremely clear and lovely to deal with and helped us to do the the three years and our FBARS extremely efficiently and quickly. I can't tell you how much relief we both feel from working with Sean. I would absolutely recommend Sean to anyone who needs a great tax lawyer and I would definitely work with him again on anything in the future.

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.

Very professional and knowledgeable

Sean @ Golding and Golding was very patient, articulate and professional in handling my case. He was available by both phone and e-mail and provided answers to all my questions to my satisfaction. Once I hired him and provided the required documents, he was very quick in preparing and submitting the ...amended returns. I highly recommend him.

Saved Me From a Near Nervous Breakdown

After 20+ years of marriage I became aware of FBAR. Prior to that time I never bothered my husband about money that was his before we were married. In fact I never really care about it. But the IRS did. And when we found out, oh oh. When we realized the situation we were in we hired an attorn...ey. Sadly this person sat on our case and our money for over 6 months. To the point that we had to pay an extra year penalty. When I finally realized this first attorney was never going to do anything (even though he took our money) I searched Google yet again. I was determined to find somebody to help us. I can only call it divine intervention that somehow I crossed paths with Mr. Golding's website. I filled out the contact form and waited. Mainly I was putting some feelers out. To my surprise Mr. Golding within hours contacted me. He walked me through how to fire the other guy and get my money back. Then he proceeded to handle our case with unbelievable efficiency. I mean EFFICIENT. A to B. He phoned, texted and emailed us every step of the way. Even when my husband forgot two accounts and we had to do some of paperwork over again he was still incredibly efficient. In the beginning I thought 'man, this guy gonna think he's working with a crazy lady' but every time I had a panic attack he calmed me. Then I realized probably most of the people he works with are in a similar panic like me. If this is you and you need help with FBAR/Streamline RUN to Mr. Golding. You will not find an attorney who is more professional, courteous, and efficient. We are so lucky to have found him. I am particularly grateful because the severe anxiety I had been experiencing is now being lifted from me.

TL;DR: Absolutely outstanding service !

Worried, confused and panicked about FATCA/FBAR with a letter from a bank stating that the IRS will be notified about an account that I’m only the “custodian” (elderly foreign national mother), I run some Google searches in order to get some direction of what to do. What I found were multiple website...s, all written in such a manner to scare the bejesus out of anyone in a stressful situation to begin with. In sharp contrast, Mr. Golding’s website provided only facts, examples and solutions. I knew from the very first conversation that I was dealing with a professional, that knew his job, was there to provide a service, at a reasonable price and not someone that was out to make some quick cash from people in distress. He explained everything patiently and in detail providing much needed reassurance that this was not the end of the world. The initial questionnaire was detailed, requesting specific information in order to proceed with filing all necessary papers in a precise and efficient manner. He or his staff responded to email questions in a timely manner making filing the questioner easy. The paperwork that he prepared was easy to review, organized with detailed instructions on what I was supposed to do next. My case is still pending but if you are looking for a competent attorney for international tax issues, you will be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t at least talk with Mr. Sean Golding. IGH
