While I can neither admit nor deny the existence of any settlement (or the terms thereof), I am confident that Trey got me the best outcome that I could have expected. Trey was persuasive and effective in advocating for my positions. Trey also gave me every opportunity to participate in the preparation of my case to manage costs and sage advice throughout my dispute. I could not have made a better choice than Trey to be my counsel. I highly recommend him.

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.

They met everyone they were trying to both place and any company they were trying to fill a position for before they even decided to work with anyone. They reviewed your resume and portfolio giving solid advice on how to improve your overall presentation so that you would be able to connect with the right position. So in 2021 when I was back in the market for a job they were the first staffing firm I reached out to help me connect with the right opportunity. On the many times, I have tried to connect with someone I have basically ended up on a mailing list that sends me possible jobs that may or may not be the right fit for me. If I think I am a good candidate I am to email back with my current resume and a link to my portfolio and hope that someone sees it and gets back to me. I have been working with a number of recruiters and staffing firms and I do understand that the creative fields are highly oversaturated. Which makes staffing those positions even more difficult, especially with the level of remote work out there. It's been almost a year since I started trying to work with any recruiter at the firm and have talked on the phone with someone at this office once after quite a few emails trying to get a local human being that could help me. The phone call was cordial but the person I spoke with had to go after only speaking with me for a few minutes and promised a follow-up I never received. I have responded to many of the positions I was very much qualified for but never heard back. I found myself calling them the Cyborg Staffing firm to my husband because it feels like they forgot that the H in HR stands for human. Because it has been so challenging to get in touch with a human there. I don't know what else to do other than share my experience so others won't feel like they are also wasting so much precious time.

I am in worse shape now than when I hired him. My advice would be that when the first inappropriate comment is made by this attorney, seek a different attorney that actually does care about the outcome of your case.

Mr. Hastings is a PHENOMENAL attorney! I had a very complicated divorce case involving equitable…read moredistribution of a family business. I initially hired a different attorney, but after realizing how difficult the opposing party was going to make things, and after numerous personal referrals, I pulled out the big guns and hired Mr. Hastings. Upon hiring him he immediately took the reigns and had a deposition scheduled within a week, and within a month we had made more headway than I had made in six months with the previous attorney. Mr. Hastings is a highly experienced, no non-sense attorney who knows how to get the job done to achieve the most positive results for his clients. Unlike many other attorneys, he will not waste your time by simply telling you what you want to hear, nor will he nickel and dime you for every little thing just to hike up your bill. He is very direct and does not sugar coat the truth. Through the deposition, mediation, and arbitration for my case, as well as a child custody hearing that I had the opportunity to witness him represent another client, he always maintained a very professional, commanding presence both in and out of the courtroom. He has an extremely effective questioning style that is both calm and intimidating to the opposing party. I could not be happier with the outcome of my case! I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Hastings and would give him (and his AMAZING assistant, BJ Weiss) 100 stars if I could!

Culp Elliott & Carpenter

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
