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.
