Tax Problems Can Feel Overwhelming. You Do Not Have to Handle Them Alone.

Receiving a letter from the IRS or another taxing authority can be stressful. You or your business may owe taxes you cannot afford to pay, have unfiled returns, be facing an audit, or be dealing with liens, levies, wage garnishment, payroll tax problems, or other collection activity.

Whether the issue affects you personally or your business, the first step is understanding what is happening and what options are available.

I began my legal career as a tax consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers, where I worked with businesses on federal, state, and local tax matters. Since then, my experience in tax, bankruptcy, and business law has taught me that tax problems often affect much more than a tax return. They impact your income, your home, your business, and your financial future.

That is why I do not believe in giving every client the same answer.

When you come to me, I want to understand how the problem started, what the IRS or taxing authority is asking for, and what you realistically want to accomplish. My job is to explain your options in plain English and help you choose the solution that makes the most practical and financial sense for your situation.

Sometimes that means challenging the government’s position. Sometimes it means negotiating, setting up a payment plan, stopping collection activity, or considering a broader financial solution.

Tax Problems Affect Businesses, Too 

Tax problems are not limited to individuals. I represent businesses facing federal, state, and local tax audits and other disputes. Restaurants, contractors, retail stores, online businesses, and other businesses often face IRS or state audits involving income taxes, payroll taxes, unemployment taxes, or sales taxes.

An audit can quickly become more complicated than it first appears. The government may request records, question how taxes were reported, or assess additional tax, penalties, or interest. Businesses should take these matters seriously and not assume they can safely handle an audit without legal guidance.

I can help a business understand what the agency is asking for, review the facts and records, communicate with the taxing authority, and determine whether the best approach is to respond, challenge, negotiate, appeal, or take the matter further.

Let’s Figure Out the Best Way Forward

If you have received an IRS notice, owe back taxes, have unfiled returns, are facing collection activity, or your business is dealing with an IRS, state, payroll, unemployment, or sales tax audit or dispute, you do not have to figure everything out on your own.

Tell me what is happening and we’ll work together to determine the best way forward.

Tax Matters I Can Help With 

I assist individuals and businesses with:

• IRS and state tax audits and investigations
• Payroll tax audits and disputes
• Sales tax audits and disputes
• Unemployment tax audits and disputes
• Tax appeals and litigation
• IRS liens, levies, and wage garnishments
• Offers in Compromise
• IRS installment agreements
• Unfiled or unpaid taxes

Because I work in tax, bankruptcy, and business law, I can look at the larger financial picture instead of treating each problem separately. That can be especially important for a business when a tax dispute affects cash flow, operations, owners, or other financial obligations
