Areas of Practice

U.S. Tax Court Litigation

 

Whether it be a case from a Notice of Deficiency, Collection Due Process Determination, U.S. passport revocation, or other issue, I can protect your interests in court. Diligent defense to make sure you only pay the taxes that you owe, and insuring that the collection process is fair, not abusive, is my highest priority.

Examinations

 

Guiding you through the examination process, I can assist in determining the what documents and support are required to substantiate your position. Providing the appropriate information to the Internal Revenue Service is essential to insure your tax liabilities are reasonable and not inflated. Responding to any Internal Revenue Service inquiry quickly is essential to guarding your rights. Examinations are not as scary as they seem, especially with good representation and guidance.

Collections

 

Owing money to the Federal government can be frightening, especially knowing the collection methods available to the IRS. Whether it is the filing of a Notice of Federal Tax Lien, Levy, or even Wage Garnishment, these collection methods can be overwhelming to you. I can assist you through any of these occurrences, but time is of the essence! The sooner you contact me, the greater my ability is to protect your rights. The IRS offers several collection alternatives including offers in compromise or installment agreements. I can guide you through utilizing these methods before the IRS pursues forced collection actions like liens, levies, and wage garnishment.

IRS Appeals Representation

 

After you file a petition, your case is generally sent to IRS Appeals, an impartial section of the IRS. A majority of U.S. Tax Court cases are settled in Appeals. IRS Appeals gives your case a fresh look and determines if your tax liability, as previously determined during the examination, is accurate. I can represent you before Appeals and advocate for a fair resolution to your case prior to trial. This avoids costly, stressful, and unnecessary litigation.
