You Need a Tax Attorney Who Thinks Federally
The IRS is a federal agency. They operate the same way whether you live in Miami or Montana. So why would you hire a local attorney who handles tax cases on the side? You need someone whose entire practice is built around fighting the IRS. That's what I do. Every day. For 32 years.
Why Nationwide Matters
Most tax attorneys limit themselves to their state. I don't. IRS representation is a federal practice. I represent taxpayers in all 50 states before the IRS and in Federal Tax Court. Your location doesn't matter. What matters is whether your attorney knows the Internal Revenue Code, the IRS Internal Revenue Manual, and how to use both to protect you.
What I Handle
IRS audits. Wage garnishments. Bank levies. Offers in Compromise. Unfiled returns. Penalty abatement. Installment agreements. Tax Court litigation. If the IRS is involved, I handle it. I've resolved over $100 million in tax debt for clients across the country.
How Remote Representation Works
We handle everything by phone, email, and secure document sharing. The IRS itself works remotely for most matters. I pull your transcripts electronically, file documents by mail or fax, and attend hearings by phone or video. You get the same representation whether you're across the street or across the country.
Attorney-Client Privilege
Here's something most people don't think about: CPAs and enrolled agents cannot offer attorney-client privilege. That means your conversations with them can be disclosed to the IRS. With a tax attorney, your communications are legally protected. For complex disputes or anything involving potential criminal exposure, this isn't optional. It's essential.
