If the IRS believes a taxpayer has intentionally violated tax laws, the case may be referred to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID). These matters require immediate legal attention.
We defend clients facing allegations involving:

If you disagree with the IRS’s findings or have received an unfavorable audit determination, you may have the right to appeal. We represent clients before the IRS Office of Appeals and, when necessary, in U.S. Tax Court.
Our services include:
- Preparing protest letters
- Presenting legal and factual arguments
- Negotiating settlements
- Challenging improper assessments or penalty decisions
Appeals often provide taxpayers with a second opportunity to achieve a fair result.
