I was referred to Chris Sheldon after my failed attempts to resolve my issues with the IRS directly. My outstanding tax amount was minimal in comparison to cases Chris is used to dealing with. That did not alter the time he took to resolve my issue. He was timely in resolving my issue. He kept me informed with each step he took. He is very knowledgeable and gave me several options to resolve my concerns. I felt very at ease putting my issues in his hands. Chris understood what my budget was to resolve the issue and did not take advantage of what he could charge me. This was very important to me and Chris understood this. I would recommend him to anyone who had a situation such as mine in the future. I'm happy to say I had an outstanding result to my issue and he was able to save me substantially in the amount I owed. I could have never resolved this without Chris. I truly appreciate him.

Chris was instrumental in helping me navigate the most efficient and best way to take care of a IRS issue that was somewhat unexpected. I have never had this level of service. He took this on like it was is own problem. I can highly recommend Chris without any reservation.

Having worked for the IRS for several years, Mr. Sheldon brings a level of understanding to his profession that is, simply stated, invaluable to his clients. Couple that with his professionalism, flexibility and accessibility (ie. quick responses), commitment to financial responsibility (very fair billing practices) and overall compassion for our "big picture", and that is why we will recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing this type of counsel. We received a level of resolution to our case that we feel may not have been achieved any other way.

Long story short- sibling was trustee of family trust, and responsible for elderly mothers care. Over a period of 5 years he embezzled her entire life savings (substantial), used here retirement and social security income as his own, failed to file her federal and state income taxes, or pay property taxes on her primary and investment residences. This created a major obstacle in settling the estate, as he left it basically insolvent. Chris worked diligently to resolve all tax issues by meeting with myself and my tax professional, advising us on how best to resolve the personal back tax issues, and move forward with the estate taxes to bring everything up to date. He succesfully represented the trust before the IRS, in the reallocation of personal and trust income to the responsible party, decreasing the overall tax liability to a manageable level. Additionally, through the appeals process, he obtained an abatement of the late payment, penalties and interest charges assesed by the IRS. As a result of Chris's extensive knowledge of the internal workings of the IRS, his persistence, and unwavering desire to obtain the best possible outcome for his clients, we were able to return the trust to a solvent state, resulting in a modest distribution to the beneficiaries at trust closing. On behalf of the beneficiaries and myself, thank you for a job very well done! Ed

I contacted Chris Sheldon in August of this year for help with both Federal and State tax issues. I felt immediately comfortable during that initial conversation and retained him right away. While my tax problems are most likely small in comparison to a large percentage of his cases, he has addressed those problems with a great deal of professionalism and care. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Chris. He is professional, thorough, experienced, flexible, creative and considering I am the type of person who freaks out, he has managed to keep me calm cool, and collected throughout the process. He comes up with a plan of attack, follows through and keeps me updated with everything he does. I have total peace of mind and have truly enjoyed working with him. While my case is not completely resolved, I have every confidence there will be a positive outcome. Thank you Chris!

My business was audited by the IRS for 2008 through 2010. I tried to represent myself but quickly found out that I was in way over my head. I know how to run a business but the tax and accounting portions have never been my strong points. After the IRS disallowed over $500,000 in deductions I decided I better get some legal help. I was referred to Chris Sheldon and I am so glad that I found him. After reviewing my situation he was able to give me a clear picture of what we were up against, he formulated a plan to help me resolve the issues , and put me in contact with a CPA firm that could help get my records organized. My situation is not completely resolved but part way through we have been able to substantiate over $300,000 of the disallowed deductions and Chris was able to discover several other factors that the IRS had overlooked in improving my situation. Chris has taken a situation that for me was a true nightmare and has given me complete peace of mind and confidence that we will be able to get the resolution that I need. Thank you Chris!

As a current and former client of Chris, I've always been impressed with his follow-through, his command of the facts, and the strategies that are implemented
