Very Effective!

Tim Berry is thorough, accessible and most importantly, EFFECTIVE. I mistakenly moved IRA money in a way that made it taxable instead of a roll-over and Tim was able to penetrate the bureaucratic wall at the IRS via a clear presentation of the facts and appropriate citations. The initial IRS ruling w...as reversed. I highly recommend him!

Expert Self Directed IRA's

Tim helped me out with an error my tax accountant found while doing my 2018 taxes for my self directed IRA. I called Tim and explained the situation. He immediately gave me 3 different options of what I could do to resolve my issue for the 2018 tax year. He prioritized each of the 3 and explained ...the risks. He is a great resource and I'll be utilizing his services again.

Purchasing Property With an IRA

My wife and I were referred to Timothy Berry regarding a piece of property we were thinking about purchasing with an IRA, He explained the different ways we could purchase the properties that would give us the best tax advantages. I found Timothy to very knowledgeable, and his information informative.... Timothy did not charge us for this consultation which surprised me and he offered to help us in the future if needed. It was refreshing to speak to a lawyer with our best interest in mind. I would recommend Timothy to anyone who is in need of a lawyer in his field.

Tim really helped me out of a problem

So I received a 1099 that should have been issued to my LLC. This was going to be expensive if I couldn't get it resolved. I talked to several people in the tax and financial fields and got numerous answers and suggestions none of which made much sense. Tim Berry called me back in few minutes told me... just how to handle my problem. His willingness to give me a few minutes of his time and his knowledge got me through a stressful situation. Thanks again Tim

An Attorney Who Cares!!!

Tim has been extremely helpful to me over the last couple of years with my roth IRA issues. I was very nervous and scared about the predicament that I was in, but having him in my corner has helped me feel so much more confident and secure. I feel that I can trust him, and that I can rely on his ex...pertise. I think he really cares and has a big heart, and is a great attorney. I highly recommend his council, and his experience to everyone. Thank you Tim for all your help! I really appreciate it!!
