Tax Controversy

Our tax attorneys and CPAs have extensive experience representing businesses, trusts, estates, and individual taxpayers in federal and state income tax disputes, sales tax disputes, and property tax controversies. Members of our firm have lectured, taught courses, and published materials on federal tax procedure, and have successfully resolved everything from personal income tax audits to major disputes involving complex issues in a number of specialized industries. We pride ourselves both on our knowledge of the law and how it can best and most practically be applied at each level of a tax controversy.

We place special emphasis on understanding the "big picture"--areas of special risk or issues of special concern--before developing, advising, and implementing an overall strategy for our clients. We also have specialized expertise and a successful track record in most "high risk" areas, including independent contractor audits, IRS attacks on valuation discounts for estate and gift tax purposes, and California residence issues. We also have experience compromising tax liabilities and lessening the impact of government tax collection actions. For Tax Planning Information, click here.
