Richard Paul McClellan III is a lawyer based in Honolulu, Hawaii that specializes in civil and criminal tax defense law.

I have been licensed in Hawaii since 1993. My office is located in downtown Honolulu proximate to the United States District Court, the First Circuit Court, and the State of Hawaii Department of Taxation.

Common civil issues include back taxes, unfiled tax returns, "responsible person" or "trust fund" assessments, Hawaii General Excise Tax and Transient Accommodations Tax issues, tax audits and inquiries, and summons enforcement.

For individuals or tax professionals, I can advise and represent you in the context of criminal tax investigations, grand jury summons, and in tax shelter litigation.

Areas of Law

Areas of Law Description

- Tax Defense

Frequently unfiled tax returns and unpaid taxes are referred to as "back taxes." These are garden-variety civil tax problems and can thought of as fitting into two general categories: problems with assessment and problems with collection. These problems are intertwined but their solutions are probably better viewed separately.

- Criminal Tax Defense

Criminal problems usually start with (a) a visit from criminal tax investigators; (b) a notice from a financial institution that a criminal tax investigator is obtaining your records; or, sometimes, (c) a letter from criminal tax investigators to you informing you that they are commencing an investigation.
