5 Reasons to Consider Me as Your Tax Lawyer
1) I am a 20+ year Attorney, Former IRS agent, Retired CPA, and national speaker on tax problems. I handle serious business tax matters, with IRS tax debt greater than $100,000. I also handle tax audits and investigations with legal issues or “sensitive” facts.
2) My fees are affordable, and realistic. As your tax lawyer, I am sensitive your financial situation.
3) My specific services include:
• Settlements for Business, Payroll and Sales Taxes
• Release of IRS Levy on Business Bank Accounts
• Representation in IRS Criminal Investigations
• Audit Challenges in the U.S. Tax Court
• Tax from Death, Divorce, Sale or Loss of Business
4) I know that good communication matters to you. I prefer to keep my clients updated. I am easy to speak with, and enjoy returning your calls and emails. CPAs and tax accountants trust me to help their clients with IRS tax cases. But also, I will not allow the IRS or state to speak with you.
5) I serve clients across the U.S., and am licensed to practice at the U.S. Tax Court, multiple federal courts, and the State of Illinois. I also do virtual meetings and court hearings.
