SATISFIED CLIENTS
Saving my life and company
Hello Tania,
I hope this note finds you well.
You may or may not recall our case.
I will keep this short, as I can imagine you are very busy, but wanted to update you of the outcome. After you went into bat for me against the ATO in 2018, due to them issuing a garnishee over the company leaving me nowhere to go.
With your persistence we reached an agreement…saving my life and my company!
In our last conversation you asked me to let you know how we ended up and told me “show them that we would make it”!
Today I am emailing you with an enormous smile on my face…our ATO Super Guarantee Account debt was finalised in August, 2020 and today we received the attached statement from the ATO…as of 8th December, 2020 this is also finalised.
It has not been an easy journey, especially with the additional challenges of COVID…but we survived!
Thankyou Tania from the bottom of my heart, as without you I would not be sitting here typing this email.
May I wish you, your family and colleagues a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year.
Warm Regards,
Trisha F

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.

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.

Absolutely fate
Dear Tania
I cannot thank you and your team enough for the work undertaken to have my charges completely withdrawn during recent matters I was facing with the ATO. It was absolute fate that I contacted your office, but it was the best decision I could have made. From the very first phone call, you treated me with kindness and respect, despite the situation I had found myself in.
When one thinks of a Solicitor, it is easy to go straight to the stereotypical movie character with images of someone who is selfish, greedy and rude. But you, Tania, are the epitome of thoughtful, generous and compassionate and I will forever be in your debt for the kind and considered way you supported me from afar.
I highly recommend Waterhouse Lawyers to others who may be facing overwhelming situations regarding tax litigation, although, I hope to never require your services again!
Kindest Regards Tania,

Tania and her team have been great with their advice and handling of my legal matters with the ATO and TPB.
Thank you Tania, Bernie, Alice, Coco and the others over the journey.
The legal advice has been A++, as was expected.
What was not expected was the caring and empathetic way the services was provided through the entire process. Legal matters are very stressful, and I felt that the Waterhouse team had my back along the way.
I really appreciate that Tania still checks in on me from time to time, even after the matter has been settled.
The Waterhouse team were supportive when needed, but also there was a good dose of reality when that was needed as well.
I certainly hope I will never need their services again, but I can sleep easier with the feeling I know where to go if I ever have another legal matter involving the ATO or TPB.
God bless to the Waterhouse team – my family’s future is safer and more secure by having you on my side.
