WE DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS

Our tax attorneys have a strong track record of defending against IRS civil and criminal investigations, including allegations of failure to report foreign bank accounts and/or foreign source income, unreported income, failure to file returns and/or the presentation of false documentation, and overstating deductions.  We routinely interact with IRS auditors, IRS Special Agents, IRS Chief Counsel, and the United States Department of Justice.

HOW CAN A SAN FRANCISCO TAX ATTORNEY HELP YOU IN OTHER STATES?

We use a combination of technology and good old fashioned travel to serve our clients, so distance is not an obstacle. With offices in San Francisco and Fort Lauderdale, our experienced tax attorneys are admitted to practice before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, United States Tax Court, Federal Court of Claims, California Supreme Court, Florida Supreme Court, and United States district courts.
