IRS Letters & Notices

IRS notices create unnecessary tax problems. A CP2000 letter points to unreported income, a CP90 notice signals enforced collection, and an audit letter demands supporting records.

IRS Criminal Investigations, Fraud & Evasion

Powerful legal defense for resolving IRS tax evasion, fraud, and criminal tax allegations.

IRS criminal investigations require immediate legal response. An IRS criminal case means special agents are reviewing your tax records, bank accounts, and business dealings for potential prosecution. Our attorneys step in between you and the IRS to protect your rights and interests.

Installment Agreements & Payment Plans

Spread out payments, settle tax debt over time

IRS installment agreements offer a structured way to resolve tax debt while preventing liens and levies. These agreements vary based on financial ability, ensuring payments are feasible. While the IRS has strict guidelines, negotiations can lead to better terms. Our tax attorneys structure agreements that provide stability while avoiding penalties.
