You need a criminal tax defense attorney in Fullerton when IRS Special Agents appear unannounced, when you receive Form 2039 Criminal Investigation Summons, or when grand jury subpoenas arrive, not when standard correspondence occurs. Criminal investigations target suspected tax evasion (5-year prison terms, $250,000 fines), filing false returns (3-year sentences, $100,000 penalties), and willful failure to file (1-year imprisonment, $25,000 fines).
