Tax Law Issues We Can Help With
With every client, our focus remains on protecting your legal rights, simplifying the tax process, and delivering the best possible outcome. So, don’t hesitate to contact us if you need assistance or are facing any tax-related issues, including:
1. Tax Audits and Investigations
In a situation where the IRS selects your return for audit or begins an investigation to identify irregularities on your tax return, we can provide audit representation. Additionally, we’ll help you prepare, respond, and negotiate with the IRS to protect your rights at every step.
2. Tax Debt and Collection Issues
Most taxpayers often don’t fully understand the options available to them to settle what they owe until they speak with a qualified tax lawyer. If you owe back taxes or are currently facing IRS collection actions or dealing with threats of levy or lien, we can help you negotiate payment plans, explore tax relief programs, and reduce your overall tax burden.
3. Tax Fraud Allegations
Being accused of tax fraud or evasion is not something anyone should take lightly. In most cases, legal assistance from a tax attorney who understands both the IRS and federal tax law is needed. If your issue falls under this category, we can defend you during investigations, manage interactions with government agencies, and protect your reputation.
4. Disputes With the IRS or tax authorities
When it comes to incorrect tax assessments and disputes over deductions or unfiled tax returns, we can negotiate with the IRS or state tax authorities to achieve the best resolution while shielding you from penalties or any form of legal exposure.
5. Estate and Inheritance Tax Planning
Any estate tax-related issues often need to be carefully structured. If you’re planning for asset transfer or managing inherited wealth, we provide the necessary legal guidance to help you reduce taxes and make sure your estate plan is in full compliance with federal and state regulations.
6. International Tax Law Matters
Dealing with offshore income, foreign accounts, or any cross-border tax-related issues? Contact us. We can help you address the issue while ensuring compliance with the IRS, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), and foreign reporting requirements to avoid audits and penalties.
7. Business Tax Compliance and Structuring
Our services aren’t limited to individuals. We also help business owners, including startups and corporations, to structure their operations, resolve payroll tax issues, and manage corporate tax obligations to avoid legal exposure and unfiled returns.

What to Expect During a Legal Consultation for Tax Law Issues
During a legal consultation for tax law issues, you should expect a structured conversation with the tax professional to clarify your tax situation and explore the best path forward. The tax professional may start by reviewing your documents, asking detailed questions, and outlining your available legal options based on federal tax law. Generally, you should anticipate the following phases:
1. Initial Assessment
During the initial assessment, the tax professional will examine your tax returns, financial records, IRS notices, and any other relevant tax forms, which will help identify your current tax situation. They may also inquire about previous interactions with the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities to gain a comprehensive understanding of the tax issue.
At this phase, the goal is to get an accurate picture of your current tax situation, including what you owe, why you owe it, and how much time you have before the IRS begins enforcement actions.
2. Strategic Planning
Following the assessment, the next step is to craft a tailored legal plan. This is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Depending on your income, assets, business structure, and the complexity of the tax issue, the attorney will outline specific legal options. These could be negotiating a payment plan, applying for an Offer in Compromise or requesting Currently Not Collectible status.
In some instances, strategic planning may also include preparing for IRS appeals, audit defense, or legal negotiation and deliberating on the best way to correct tax forms or file missing returns.
3. Resolution and Support
The final part of the consultation focuses on execution and ongoing legal support. Once a strategy is agreed upon, your tax professional may:
- Begin communicating with the IRS or state authorities on your behalf
- File legal paperwork or submit required tax forms and documentation.
- Monitor case progress, compliance timelines, or appeals deadlines.
-
Offer continued legal services to help resolve the issue, protect your assets, and avoid future complications.
How to Prepare for Your Free Tax Law Legal Consultation
To be properly prepared for your free tax law legal consultation, you must gather very necessary tax documentation and financial records, understand your tax obligation and have expectations on what you intend to achieve. When you are fully prepared, it gives the tax professional a better understanding of your situation and also helps you get more tailored advice for your case.
Gather the Necessary Tax Documents
Before you begin the free consultation, gather any documents that may be related to your current tax situation. This may include past tax returns, IRS notices or letters, wage statements (such as W-2s or 1099s), bank statements, proof of expenses, and any records related to penalties or interest. In cases involving unpaid taxes, garnishments, or tax audits, having these documents ready, accurate, and complete allows the attorney to fully assess your legal and financial position.
Prepare a List of Questions and Concerns
Before your free consultation, put together the tax questions you have about your case. This could include concerns about IRS collection methods, tax relief options, or how to apply for an audit reconsideration. If the notices you received from the IRS seem confusing to you, or you’re not sure how your income or assets factor into your liabilities, include that as well.
Understand Your Financial Goals and Tax Obligations
Having a clear sense of your financial goals, including both short-term and long-term objectives, will be highly effective during the consultation process. For instance, you may be trying to protect your assets from collection, reduce monthly payments, or resolve back taxes quickly to prevent interest and penalties from accumulating. Whatever your goal is, you should understand them to help the attorney recommend legal strategies that align with both your goals and your ability to pay.
Set Clear Expectations for the Consultation
Remember that a legal consultation is an opportunity to have your case reviewed by a licensed tax lawyer and receive a professional opinion about possible lines of action. You should also understand that while it’s free, the purpose is to evaluate your tax issues and recommend legal services that can bring resolution. So, try your best to be honest and open about what you intend to achieve.
