Your IRS Problem Is Federal. Your Lawyer Should Be Too.
Most tax attorneys dabble. They handle a few IRS cases between real estate closings and estate plans. That's not me. I've spent 32 years doing one thing: fighting the IRS. Every case I take is a federal tax case. I represent taxpayers in all 50 states.
Federal Practice, Federal Thinking
The IRS operates the same in every state. Same code. Same manual. Same collection tactics. A tax attorney who understands federal practice can represent you anywhere. I'm licensed in Florida, Colorado, and Texas, and I handle IRS matters nationwide.
What Sets My Practice Apart
I don't do divorce law on Tuesdays and tax law on Thursdays. Federal tax resolution is all I do. That means I know the Internal Revenue Manual the way most lawyers know their local court rules. I know which revenue officers bluff and which ones follow through. That knowledge comes from doing this every day for three decades.
Attorney-Client Privilege Matters
A CPA can be forced to testify about your conversations. An enrolled agent has no privilege protection. When you hire a tax attorney, everything you tell me is protected. If there's any chance your situation could involve criminal exposure, privilege isn't a bonus. It's a necessity.
Over $100 Million Resolved
That number isn't marketing. It's math. Thirty-two years of Offers in Compromise, installment agreements, penalty abatements, Tax Court settlements, and cases where the IRS walked away with nothing. Every dollar of that $100 million is a dollar my clients kept.
