A substantial portion of our practice involves the federal tax controversy area.  Our firm actively assists our clients and their accountants in resolving tax issues at the administrative levels of Internal Revenue Service, but if necessary, we are also able to resolve the matter through litigation. We handle all phases of federal controversy ranging from the initial audit, Appeals, United States Tax Court, Federal District Court, Bankruptcy Court, and collection.  In the collection field, we handle all phases including Installment Payment Agreements, penalty abatement requests, uncollectible status, Offer-in-Compromise, Innocent Spouse Relief, and tax-related bankruptcies.  We also handle all phases of criminal tax matters involving Title 26, Title 18, and Title 31 offenses.
