Julie made me feel as though she was handling my taxes and finances as if they were her own. Every step was clearly explained and she had no problem taking care of my US and foreign tax situations with ease. She even researched and promptly followed up regarding foreign tax laws so I could capitalize on credits and deductions I didn't even realize were available to me. She also introduced me to a program to drastically reduce the sum and burden of my school loans. She went above and beyond the call, by connecting me with a friend, who also works in my specialty, to guide me even further based on his own experience with this program. Such a pleasure working with Julie. I've never experienced accountants as friendly and thorough as the staff at Cardin and Associates. Not only have I been able to file my taxes with ease, but she's guided me financially to benefit for years to come. I'm certainly recommending Julie to any friends and colleagues looking for an excellent accountant. On top of that, she is an attorney, and I know where I will go when I need attorney services in the future. read more

I waited until the 11th hour to get my 2010 taxes done because I owed so much money the previous year. I called and got an appointment with no problem. Julie did my taxes herself and while I did still owe, it was no where near what I did the year before. Someone on the staff double checked everything and e-filed for me that afternoon. I had been using H&R Block, but won't go back. The Cardin Law Office is great and no more expensive than H&R Block. And that's great considering she's a former IRS tax agent. read more
