Testimonials
SATISFIED CLIENTS
Some sanity returns to my life
For many years I have lived overseas and paid tax in my country of family residence and employment. You can imagine my surprise when I received a letter from ATO suggesting I might owe a return for the past 2 years including a list of overseas income. Alarm bells rang as I did indeed owe some returns, but fixing the issue opened a whole Pandora’s Box of issues that I knew could only be solved by a professional expert in Taxation Law.
I trolled the Internet for hours looking for a Tax Lawyer in my home city, most of whom were from very big firms. When I came upon Waterhouse Lawyers I immediately felt that I had found the right people even though we were miles apart. I engaged Tania and her team without a moment’s hesitation and was on board as a client minutes after discussion with one of her team.
Tania and her team have exceeded my expectations in all respects. At last I can sleep at night and find speaking to them a bright spot in my day. They quickly put me at ease by breaking down my issues into separate parts and providing solutions for each. Their honesty and really profession approach to client interactions is enhanced with their ability to make you feel that they are part of your family and really do care about outcomes that are in your best interest rather than feeding the corporate revenue stream.
I unreservedly commend Tania and her team to anyone with a Tax related issue.

Dear Tania
I want to thank you for responding so promptly to my request for assistance and thank you so much for assigning Lamees to look after our case.
She has been so very good to work with, I appreciate her skill at listening closely and understanding the specific details very quickly. She has assisted me personally by very gently managing my anxiety over this problem – by staying in touch and updating whenever possible.
We are of course hoping for a good outcome, but regardless of this it is comforting to know that she has a firm grasp of the issue and is dealing with it professionally and with sensitivity.
Kindest Regards

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.

What a relief
Tania, I am so very grateful for all your help over the past few months. Things turned out as I had hoped, but much better than expected. My sister will also be happy because she was concerned for me.
Thank you, thank you and thanks again. I just let out a huge exhale for I was almost holding my breath.
Of course I will be pleased to recommend you to others.
