As an Attorney, a Certified Public Accountant, and a Certified Financial Planner, I am able to provide a holistic approach to resolving Legal, Tax, Business & Financial needs of my clients. My years of working as an auditor and forensic accountant, coupled with my tax background, allow me to come up with creative strategies to solve IRS tax problems.
I have defended individuals and businesses involved in the most challenging state and federal tax controversies. Although an IRS problem may seem insurmountable and never-ending at times, they can frequently be solved with a well thought out strategy. Often times, achieving a successful outcome in an IRS case hinges upon the discretion of the individuals who are assigned to the case within the IRS.
As a lawyer who exclusively practices in the area of tax controversies, I understand the need for balancing an aggressive approach with the need for developing a strong rapport with the assigned agent. This balance allows me to achieve excellent outcomes for my clients, while protecting them from potential catastrophes.

The IRS has superior rights as opposed to other creditors as they can garnish wages, levy bank accounts, seize property, attach receivables and government payments, and attach Social Security payments without seeking approval from any court.

Liens give the IRS a legal claim to a taxpayer's property as security or payment for a tax debt.
Once these requirements are met, a lien is created for the amount of your tax debt.
By filing notice of this lien, creditors are publicly notified that the IRS has a claim against all of your property, including property you acquire after the lien is filed.
The lien attaches to all your property and to all your rights to property (accounts receivable).
Once a lien is filed, your credit rating will likely be harmed significantly.
