Expert Tax Relief Services for Individuals & Businesses


We handle a wide range of tax-related issues, ensuring you receive the strongest legal defense and strategic negotiation possible. Our services include:

  • IRS Audit Defense

An IRS audit can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our tax attorneys represent you throughout the entire process, ensuring compliance while protecting you from excessive penalties.

  • Tax Debt Relief & Negotiation

If you owe back taxes, we help negotiate manageable solutions such as installment agreements, penalty abatements, or offers in compromise (settling for less than you owe). 

  • Tax Litigation & Dispute Resolution

When negotiations fail, we provide aggressive representation in U.S. Tax Court or federal court. Whether you’re disputing an IRS assessment, appealing a denied claim, or facing tax fraud allegations, our attorneys fight to protect your rights.

  • Offshore & International Tax Compliance

Unreported foreign income or assets can lead to severe penalties. We assist with FBAR filings, Voluntary Disclosure Programs, and IRS offshore compliance initiatives to bring you back into good standing while minimizing fines.

  • Business & Payroll Tax Issues

Business owners facing payroll tax disputes, trust fund recovery penalties, or corporate audits need tailored legal help. We defend your company against IRS actions and develop long-term tax strategies to prevent future issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I hire a tax attorney instead of a CPA?

While CPAs handle tax filings and planning, a tax attorney is essential when facing legal threats, such as audits, criminal investigations, liens, or lawsuits. If the IRS is taking aggressive action, an attorney provides legal protection and negotiation expertise.

Can you stop an IRS wage garnishment or bank levy?

Yes. We file emergency appeals to halt IRS collection actions while negotiating alternatives like payment plans or settlements.

How much does hiring a tax attorney cost?

Fees vary based on case complexity. Some cases are flat-fee, while others are billed hourly. During your privileged and confidential consultation, we will provide a clear cost estimate before you commit.

What’s the difference between an “offer in compromise” and a payment plan?

An offer in compromise (OIC) allows you to settle tax debt for less than the full amount if you qualify based on income, assets, and hardship.

How long does tax resolution take?

Simple cases (e.g., penalty abatement) may resolve in 3–6 months. Complex cases (e.g., litigation, large tax debts) can take 1+ years. We prioritize fast resolutions while ensuring the best outcome possible.
