After earning a Masters in Taxation and Juris Doctorate at the University of San Diego School of Law along with an undergraduate Accounting Degree at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I became a certified tax law specialist and founded my practice in 1982. Since that time I have successfully represented countless clients as a tax attorney and bankruptcy lawyer specializing in IRS tax problems. While my practice is located in Del Mar, CA, I work with individuals, businesses and corporations throughout Southern California. My tax firm is comprised of Tax Attorneys, CPA’s, Enrolled Agents, Tax Preparers and Bookkeepers that pride ourselves on providing our clients with the most aggressive representation before the IRS available under the law.
A Certified Tax Law Specialist is the highest designation available to a tax attorney. To be qualified as a Certified Tax Law Specialist, the California State Bar requires passing a rigorous written examination on technical tax law along with at least 5 years of practice in a broad range of taxation issues including individual, corporate, partnership, limited liabilities companies, and estates and trusts. Also, other tax attorneys, certified public accountants and tax professionals must vouch that you are competent in taxation law before the certified tax specialist designation will be awarded.

In the event your income tax returns are audited by the IRS/FTB it's an important decision to make who will represent you. If your tax preparer represents you in the audit, then they will be looking at ways to assure that the understated income or overstated deductions are not their fault. This creates a huge conflict of interest for the tax preparer who is truly representing their own self-interest, and is why you should consult an independent tax attorney who is looking out for your best interests.

The IRS is currently auditing and prosecuting holders of offshore credit cards, offshore bank accounts, foreign trusts, and international business companies for tax evasion and failure to report transfers. There are many legitimate defenses that are very effective to combat the government's egregious penalties and crimes, each dependent upon each taxpayer's own facts and circumstances.
The IRS Criminal Investigation Division obtains evidence from civil audits, informers, and other leads in order to pursue criminal investigations against taxpayers. This includes ex-spouses, disgruntled employees, co-workers and business competitors. Virtually all criminal tax investigations are commenced and worked extensively prior to notifying the taxpayer, or the taxpayer even becoming aware of the investigation. During any criminal tax investigation, your constitutional and legal rights must be advocated, or in some cases they will be deemed waived or lost.
When you are not able to pay your taxes on time, the IRS begins tax collections. As time passes and the amount that you owe goes unpaid, the IRS and State Franchise Tax Board will begin a variety of tax collections actions. However, you do have rights and there are a number of steps that can be taken to alleviate your tax burden and help you resolve the situation. Contact our offices to have an experienced tax attorney consider the facts of your case and help you find the best path to resolving your tax collections issue.
Once you file a tax bankruptcy, an "automatic stay" arises and all IRS enforced collection action must cease temporarily. In this manner bankruptcy income taxes help is quick. As soon as it learns of the filing of a bankruptcy taxes petition, the IRS posts its computer system with a "bankruptcy hold" code to avoid inadvertent violation of the automatic stay. However, this does not mean that the IRS cannot take any actions. There are a number of demands that the IRS can make on you during bankruptcy and it is critical to understand what your options are. Contact our firm to gain a full understanding of your situation and find the best course of action for discharging taxes in bankruptcy.
An offer in compromise allows you to settle your tax debt with the IRS for less than the full amount that you owe. If you cannot pay your full tax liability, or if doing so would create a financial hardship for you, then this may be a legitimate option to consider. Generally the IRS will accept an offer in compromise when the amount offered is the most that they can reasonably expect to collect from you within a reasonable period of time. However, prior to submitting an offer in compromise it is critical to first consider all other payment options in order to ensure that you offer in compromise is not rejected. Contact our firm to help you evaluate your options and take the course of action that is best for you.
A trust fund recovery penalty is when a corporation or business entity has failed to sufficiently file its payroll taxes. In an effort to collect on the amount due, the IRS will seek to hold individuals personally responsible for the debt including business owners, high ranking executives, board members, an officer, director, bookeeper, payroll department personnel, human resource director and any other employee who held decision making authority over creditor payments. There are defenses available under the law, however it is critically important to understand the specific tactics that the IRS will use to attempt to gather evidence and build a case against you so that you may adequately defend yourself. Contact our firm to ensure that your interests are fully protected.
Innocent Spouse, Separation Of Joint & Several Liability
While most married taxpayers chose to file jointly for the benefits, the detriments remain that both parties are then responsible for any tax, interest or penalty related to the return, even if they later divorce. Relief options however, are available to spouses (or ex) given particular circumstances. These options are Innocent Spouse Relief, Separation of Liability and Equitable Relief. Contact our firm to help you understand your options and identify the best course of action.
Voluntary Disclosure has been practiced by the criminal investigation unit of the IRS for years. It allows taxpayers who are in a state of non-compliance to become so by disclosing their foreign accounts and assets thereby eliminating their risk of being recommended for criminal prosecution by the IRS. This process keeps the taxpayer on the civil side of investigations as long as they remain compliant and cooperative. Contact our firm to help you file an FBAR and seek maximum protection under the law.
