I had no experience dealing with CRA, so I was unsure of how to proceed and what to expect. Dean was able to clearly explain the options and guide me through the process. He was also very helpful in arranging the accounting expertise needed to resolve the issue. His professionalism, expertise and communication skills made the process much less stressful and were instrumental in the resolution of the issue. I would not hesitate to recommend Dean and his team for any tax issues.

Dean is very professional, organized, reliable and patient. He has right intuition regarding CRA related stuff. He is also an open and nice person to talk to, always giving his honest opinion. He helped me with CRA correspondence in a very complicated personal income tax case. I highly recommend him and his team to everyone who has any tax problem.

Dean and associates were timely and accurate in their assistance to get CRA to change their minds about the designation of our property as a residential and no rebate was applicable when in fact it was commercial property and the rebate should have been 100%. We ended up getting a very quick reply from CRA and they did indeed see their error. Thank you!

I came to Blachford Law with a complex tax issue that had me worried beyond anything I have gone through before. Ella and Dean took me on and went head first into the issue with me. The guidance and hard work Ella put into this blew me away. She was very reassuring and even though she was calm and did what she could to keep me calm was very focused and driven to get answers and navigate the issue. In the end Ella's hard work, determination and focus payed off. Even if it didn't I would recommend Blachford to anyone. I am amazed by them and would like to thank you so much for everything. I appreciate you very much!!

As a CPA, I was representing a client in an audit situation with CRA. I consulted with Dean regarding the dispute with CRA and his advice helped us navigate what we felt was an unreasonable CRA request and move the audit forwards. Very happy having reached out to Dean!
