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.

Streamlined Process

I am a Senior citizen and a person who worries a lot. Just recently finding out about the U.S.tax laws and rules of Foreign Bank accounts gave me more then one sleepness night. Finding Sean Golding and his firm thru the excellent reviews from his former clients ,put my mind at ease and I am so ...very thankful to him and his staff. He is incredible professional, prompt, highly knowledgeable answering all the Questions I had solving my problems. He is also kind and patient to work with,always available per e-mail and phone. Having e-mail from him as early as 7:30 am and late as 10:30 PM made me aware that helping me solving my tax issues was most important to him, I felled I was never alone on this journey. I give Sean Golding and his staff my highest recommendation . I will definitely work with Sean in the future on any matter needing legal and foreign tax advice. Thank you, Margrethe

Excellent for expats!

There was one investment not reported for three years and my tax account, a big 5 firm, told me that they could not help except for huge $$$ and that I was in big trouble facing massive fines and maybe jail time. I contacted Sean and he replied within 24 hours. Sean told me about the streamlined pro...cess and that in my situation there would be no fine nor jail time. Sean always made time to answer my questions and address my concerns. Since I am in a time zone 8 hours from Sean he made time early morning and late in the evening his time to talk to me. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Golding if you have a problem with your taxes.

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
