I was well-satisfied with the outcome and would most certainly recommend his firm for your probate issues. Prior to retaining his services, I had no knowledge of how probate cases worked and he made sure I was knowledgeable throughout my journey and made me feel at ease. I believe I made a very good choice when choosing his firm. THANK YOU Mr. Hammons!

We engaged Direct Tax Relief after receiving a massive penalty from the IRS for an information…read morereturn. The cost for engaging them wasn't cheap, but was a fraction of the penalty. It took many months for IRS to respond to their letter (partly due to the government shutdown that was going on during the time). However, the IRS agreed with their argument in the letter and waived the penalty. It was a huge relief to us from a very unfortunate and minor error in the form that we had submitted a couple years ago. Super happy with the outcome and I'd definitely use Direct Tax Relief again should something like this happen with the IRS again in the future!

If you DO NOT need new business then leave a voice mail stating that. No business owner or potential new client would trust that type of greeting or treatment in the initial call.

"Yeah, I know what an attorney is. It's like a lawyer, with higher fees..."…read moreThere are certain professions that carry a pretty negative image. Attorneys are right at the top of that list especially in L.A. So I'll make this real short & sweet -- if you need legal help, start with Elizabeth Gonsalves. She became an attorney specifically to do the right thing -- to be a positive force, to help people, to [maybe single-handedly] shatter the stereotype. She's a good attorney, but she's a good person first. And that is nothing short of amazing these days. So proud of you, kid..!

My experience here was very disappointing. I came in expecting a relatively simple solution, but…read moreended up being billed over $40K for open-ended legal research with no concrete conclusion. There was no formal memo, no definitive strategy I could act on, and the budget went from around $50K to potentially $100K without a clear conversation or my approval. I left feeling like I'd paid for exploratory work with no tangible result. Based on my experience, I would caution anyone considering this firm to get clear, written expectations for scope, deliverables, and cost before starting.

My tax accountant referred me to Lesley and I'm grateful for the connection. Lesley helped my…read morefamily through a confusing and challenging time. She helped resolve my brother's several years of back taxes with the IRS and the state. When we engaged her services we didn't know where to start - how to file the past taxes, what was possible in terms of negotiation, how to stop the incessant communication from the IRS, or how to handle the sale of a property with a lien against it. Lots of moving parts! Lesley was patient with us (and our lack of knowledge). She was knowledgeable and helpful. And guided us through to total resolution. Her fees are very fair and most of all, we trusted her. She was always there when we needed her advice. If you're in need of a tax attorney to help navigate the complexity of IRS stuffs- i'd recommend calling Lesley. She even took an in person meeting with us to help my brother feel comfortable retaining her on the case. In the end, it sucks to have IRS troubles. But a great tax attorney can create ease and grace where there was none before.

Lesley is a terrific strategist! She understands how IRS agents think and gave brilliant advice. I…read morewould hire her again in a heartbeat.

Jo-Renee is amazing…read more I had a particularly annoying tax return and reconciliation project for her and she has been so helpful with making me aware of the items that I can write off to ensure that I get the best possible outcome. I initially tried to do my taxes this year online with Credit Karma and Turbo Tax, both with the same outcome of owning ~ $2000 in both state and federal taxes. Jo-Renee educated me on the things that I'm able to write off and she was able to get me a refund this year. On top of her badass skills and knowledge, she is available whenever you need her and okay with a remote-work situation (aka. you don't have to go into the office every time you need something.) I will continue to work with Jo-Renee for my personal taxes moving forward, and also will work with her on establishing our business and helping us build the foundation of our accounting process.

**Extremely Dissatisfied - Unprofessional and Unreliable**…read more Working with Stone & Sallus was a deeply disappointing and costly experience. I paid them over $11,000, yet they only provided an accounting for $300 of those funds. At a crucial point in my case, they completely failed to represent my interests. In November, they failed to file an opposition to a motion for summary judgment on my behalf. Despite this serious failure, they remained my attorney of record for another five months, finally being relieved in April. To make matters worse, they were a complete no-show at a crucial court hearing during this time. Leaving a client stranded during such critical legal proceedings while failing to properly account for money paid is entirely unacceptable. I would not recommend their services to anyone. Alissa
