John D Teter

Interesting. I put a review in Unilocal about a year and a half ago and it disappeared. I wonder why this happens !! Let me repeat it again. I owned a house as a single man and I was planning to get married soon after I talked to Mr. Teter. My property taxes were 2000 per year that were tied into prop 13. I asked Mr Teter if I sold ½ my house to my future wife (she wasn’t yet my wife at the time), would my property taxes go up?.. He told me don’t worry, nothing will change. Hence I sold ½ of my house to my future wife, got married and immediately got a tax bill for 6000 dollars. Thanks Mr. Teter. You really know your property tax law!!!

John solved my tax issues. He is extremely knowledgeable and saved us from a mistake that the IRS made.

I needed legal help with a tax situation I found myself in a few years ago. I came to John and he explained everything to me in plain English and explained what needed to be done. I was initially overwhelmed with the amount of work I had to do, but he walked me through the entire process and communicated with the IRS on my behalf.
Extremely thorough and organized.
If you have questions regarding OVDI or FBAR, he’s your man!

Went to get legal information on Short Sales, and he was not very clear in terms of what folks are liable for. He was long winded, and intentionally prolonged the conversation with useless stories and information. I value time and money, he clearly had no regard for either except to line his own pockets.

Hands down amazing amazing amazing. You might feel that this office is old-​school and he looks a bit like a wiry Dumbledore out of Harry Potter but you know what … old-​school is the way to go with crazy stuff like tax law and IRS chasing after your tail. You want to get it right and you want to know your stuff and John Teter is just the guy for the job. He’s been practicing tax law exclusively for over 20 years. He works very well with Edward Chiang, CPA, who’s one of the best I’ve worked with. He’s straight up and he will absolutely consider what’s best for his clients. He saved my family tons of money (enough to send a kid to college for a year) and protected our files and assets. He fought our financial institute that messed up our forms. We just consider him a godsend. He’s also a family man. He and his wife work together at the office so they’re both very receptive to the importance of protecting your family assets.
