Thank you so much for your help with our situation with the Internal Revenue Service. I had…read moreprepared and paid my taxes correctly each year, but the tax service I used for 4 years did not file them properly. Instead of penalizing my tax service, the IRS penalized me, even though I filed and paid my taxes every year. Originally, I considered hiring a Tax Resolution Service to represent me. But, after reading reviews for those companies, it appeared to me that many of their clients were simply trying to reduce their tax debt. In my case, I had done everything right, and I did not want to be labeled or looked at as someone who was just wanting to have their taxes reduced. I wanted the fines eliminated!!! At first, I tried to explain my situation on my own to the IRS. They denied my request the first time to eliminate my fines, as they said that even though I used a tax service to prepare my taxes, the results were still my responsibility. Finally, I hired this law firm to represent me in an appeal. I have no idea how you explained the situation better than I did, but I just received letters from the Internal Revenue Service stating that my account for those years was settled and paid in full. Thank you!!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!! I was facing around $15,000.00 in fines, and those fines were settled with the work you did representing me. I hope many people read my review and see what you could possibly do for them Sincerely: Danny Smith Statesville, NC

My mother met with Atty Hoogland in 2022 to help her put together an estate plan to make sure her…read moreassets would be distributed as she desired. Once the documents were signed, My mother had follow up questions on how to put the plan in action. Atty Hoogland's instructions were unclear and each time we corresponded it compounded the confusion. At the end of it all, my mother gave up trying. When I put my Trust /estate plan together, the attorney provided me a detailed 2 page letter summarizing the next steps to put it in effect. This is the most critical part of the estate plan. Otherwise, it's not worth the paper it's printed on. To date, she has not retitled any of her assets into the Trusts that Atty Hoogland created. The money my mother spent, on what was supposed to bring her and our family peace of mind, was a waste.

I can personally attest that Culp Elliott & Carpenter…read moreprovides their clients with a rare combination of both: (a) unsurpassed legal expertise, experience, and reputation; and (b) an approachable, down-to-earth, understandable, and respectful client relationship style, which values results over ego. As a former practicing attorney, I place an extremely high value on this hard-to-find blend of attributes and attitudes. So did my late father, an "old school," self-made, and unpretentious guy, whose mantra was "what's the bottom line" of an issue. He felt very fortunate in his career, and he wanted the fruits of his life's success to end up in the hands of his family and his community's charities, not with "Uncle Sam." With CEC's help, that's exactly what happened! Having been represented for decades by a number of Charlotte's largest and oldest "downtown" law firms, Dad wisely selected Culp Elliott & Carpenter over 20 years ago. CEC helped him, over time and through thoughtful, informed, forward-thinking, and adaptive planning and execution, to achieve his estate planning goals. After Dad's passing, CEC ably handled the administration of his estate. The process was managed extremely efficiently and effectively, despite numerous business, tax, and family complexities. And, the estate tax results were outstanding! This excellent relationship continues today, with CEC partner Paul Hattenauer handling both my and my wife's estate planning, as well as that of my adult children. Paul is blessed, in abundance, with both extraordinary legal and people skills. In addition to his vast breadth and depth of knowledge in highly complex matters, Paul is a great listener, a clear communicator, a strategic thinker, a practical and results-oriented practitioner, and a genuinely great guy. It is simply a pleasure to work with Paul Hattenauer. Despite the length of this review, I rarely write reviews. However, I would feel remiss if I did not HIGHLY recommend CEC to those in need of expertise and experience in sophisticated estate planning and administration of complex trusts and estates. Five stars, without a doubt! Scott Gorelick Charlotte, NC
