Jeni L Roberts

My grandfather was the first Jewish Prosecutor in our city of Mogilev, Belarus. He is the reason I am an Attorney in America. Growing up in Belarus and immigrating to the United States at 6 years old as a refugee taught me the importance of working hard for what you believe in.

I take the values instilled in me from childhood and apply them to how I practice law. I believe in my clients and I work hard for them.

Other Reasons to Consider Me as Your Tax Lawyer

1) I am 5+ year, multilingual Attorney, former law review contributor, and legal writing specialist. I handle tax audits, investigations with “sensitive” legal issues, and business tax collections matters, with IRS tax debt greater than $100,000.

2) I write legal opinions to help support the positions taken on tax returns. If ever taking a position on a tax return that is uncertain, my legal opinions can provide the much necessary clarity.

3) Good communication between an attorney and client is essential to the relationship and case running smoothly. I am easily accessible to my clients and can be reached by email, phone or messaging services. Though I am easily reachable for the IRS or State, I will not allow the IRS to speak with you.

4) I am licensed to practice at the U.S. Tax Court and in the State of Illinois. I also do virtual meetings and court hearings.
