Khalsa Law is highly recommended.  Sat Nam is professional, informed, and responsive.  He was consulted with regard to post military service and overseas tax law considerations.  When transitioning from service there are many tax considerations, and transition consultants and federal/state VA offices were unable to provide clear understanding associated with a complex situation. Sat Nam provided clear and detailed analysis and information, and made it easy to understand.  It was a pleasure working with him and he has my highest recommendation.

When one is in the business of providing services, it's often hard to tell if there are hidden costs to extras or if it truly comes from a good place. Being in a dangerous profession and having a bit of value to my name, I wanted to make sure those I care about are taken care of long after I'm gone. That being said, I had no idea how a will was written nor executed and when I contact Sat Nam I basically said "I want a will.". Realizing that Sat Nam was working with someone who had no knowledge of the topic whatsoever, he went out of his way to provide me with as much legal information and assistance as possible. Now, I may not know much about the legal field but even I could tell when he was taking the time to inform me about legal topics that aren't necessarily covered with the type of service that I was paying for. That being said, I braced myself for any extra cost, a cost which never came. Here is someone that genuinely cares about his clients and wants not only to provide the best service during his time working with them but also wants to see them happy well into the future. For that I will always recommend Sat Nam to anyone looking for a similar service knowing that they will be as happy and grateful to have crossed paths with Sat Nam as I have.

Mr. Sat Nam Singh Khalas was very helpful during the process of writing our last will. He also helped us develop a power of attorney and advance medical directive. All the procedures and steps were explained clearly and graciously. He was always available to answer questions. Mr. Khalas is very personable, and my husband and I are grateful for his help.

A few months ago, I had a rather large tax issue with the state of Virginia. Upon a lawyer friend's recommendation, I contacted Mr. Khalsa and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. He is empathetic, knowledgeable, and hardworking. And, most important, he's effective. VA was asking for back taxes (a large sum) from a period in which I lived and worked overseas. Mr. Khalsa explained the law and the process in ways I could easily understand and resolved the issue. VA dropped the issue completely. We paid Mr. Khalsa a standard fee up front and he promptly returned the remaining balance. I can't recommend him highly enough if you have a tax issue. He's really a nice person and a terrific attorney.

I would strongly recommend Sat Nam (10 stars if possible). I had an atypical audit for which I had consulted with multiple tax attorneys, including former IRS agents who had experience with field audits. However, none could provide a clear answer/solution. I had hired one of the so called "top" firms in DC to handle my audit, however, they mishandled my case. I took a huge risk and fired that firm in the middle of the audit.... and requested Sat Nam to help me. He patiently listened to the complexity of the case. He suggested an approach which worked and the case was closed within couple months.

Sat is extremely helpful, thoughtful, and thorough. He helped our family create a will that ensured our daughter is cared for should anything happen to us. We weren’t sure what to expect and extremely anxious about making the right decisions. Sat took the time to answer our questions and lay out our options. He also provided resources and helped keep us on track by carefully summarizing discussions and next steps. Most of the exchange was by phone or online. This was incredibly convenient for scheduling, however, we were initially concerned that without face-to-face meetings this arrangement would compromise communication. This wasn’t an issue at all! Sat is an amazing listener and communicator. We are grateful to Sat for supporting us through this process.

Sat Nam is an outstanding, tireless attorney. He listens very intently and attentively and will only respond once he is sure his opinion is backed up in case law. He possesses a diplomatic, professional demeanor which will serve you well and his communication with tax authorities on my behalf as well as his written work was exemplary. He was always able to explain complex legal matters in layman's terms, which is rare (both book smart and street smart). Sat Nam always unceasingly replied to my concerns within hours by phone, text or email (usually within the hour even if he was in the midst of another legal matter). I highly recommend his services. Hiring Sat Nam will be a decision you will not regret! A+++++

Sat Nam was very patient and professional. He explained his services and provided the documentation in a swift manner. I did not need to use his services because my employer was able to provide the service for free; he issued me a refund and was so courteous through out the process. I appreciate you Sat Nam!

I rarely write reviews about anything, but I felt compelled to write one about my experience with the law office of Sat Nam Khalsa. Simply put: Sat Nam is a great tax attorney and an equally great person. After contacting several attorneys to provide advice/input on a delicate matter, I ultimately chose Sat Nam. He seamlessly assisted me in a manner that was professional, expert, timely, and friendly. Sat Nam is quick to respond, does his due diligence regarding the issue at hand, and is reasonably priced. If you need any type of tax advice or assistance, I would highly recommend Sat Nam Khalsa. I have dealt with many attorneys, and he's right there at the top.
