Testimonials

SATISFIED CLIENTS

Responsive, knowledgeable tax advice

I searched for a long time for responsive, knowledgeable tax advice.  I finally found it with Waterhouse Lawyers.

I had very technical matters to address, and Tania Waterhouse invested many more hours than I paid for, and successfully resolved the issues.  I am very happy with the outcome.

Equally valuable was the personal touch Tania brought to our interactions.  I will use Waterhouse Lawyers’ services for all my future needs.

I unreservedly recommend them for any taxation matters.

Exceptional Service and Tax Knowledge

I am delighted with the results Tania has achieved in dealing with the Australian Taxation Office. My matter was complex.However, Tania was quick to understand the issues and able to prepare a strategy for my approval. Once I approved the strategy Tania immediately went to work and achieved a result my previous lawyers had not thought possible.

I believe Tania is a very intelligent and honest person. She has a great sense of intuition and a very commercial approach.  She also has a sense of urgency and diplomacy found only in a rare few.

Tania takes a pragmatic approach to solutions.  She has a very approachable manner and does not become intimidated by aggressive and complex situations.

I have no hesitation in recommending Tania to anyone needing assistance with their taxation matters.

Graeme N—November 2014

Frustrated with the ATO one size fits all approach and the original law firm that I chose’s approach to not wanting to upset the ATO, I came to Waterhouse on recommendation.
Lucky for me, Tania and Charm were in the job the next day, grab all the information, dissected it, got to the central issue and started work in a proactive and informative manner.
Told immediately that if the case had no merit they would look to settle or take a stronger proactive stance.
It took some time and work, but success followed and very grateful to Tania and Charm.
Thank you

 

Grateful to Tania and Charm

So very Grateful.  Five Star Service in tax matter

After 13 years of not being aware of it, the ATO advised me of an issue… a financially crippling, life changing kind of issue.  Their timing was exceptional, with massive cutbacks at work, my employment future was uncertain, and a wife currently going through IVF the additional stress was almost unbearable.

I spent almost 6 months attempting to obtain the information I needed from the ATO with very little success.

In desperation I contacted Tania, and within a day of engaging her services she had cut to the core of the problem, obtained the information I had not been able to and explained clearly to me what the situation was.  Within a week she had investigated the options available to me, identified a recommended course of action and put me contact with the relevant people to assist.

Tania was extremely professional and empathetic, kept me updated constantly on her progress and achieved a favourable outcome.  My wife and I are so very grateful and it is an enormous relief to be able to put this behind us.

I would highly recommend Tania to anyone having tax issues of any kind.
