My name is Anita Steburg and I am the founder of Steburg Law Firm, P.C. I first opened my own law practice in 2009. I am licensed to practice law in both federal and California state courts. My firm is based in San Jose, California - but clients are from all of Silicon Valley and the state of California. I have intentionally limited the size of my practice so that I can provide personal attention to each and every one of my clients.
I offer an initial assessment for clients - which involves a comprehensive examination of their unique situation and a thorough discussion of legal strategy, in addition to answering all of your questions. My law practice is founded on the core principle that litigation should be a last resort in any dispute. To that end, I believe in utilizing alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation, negotiation, and in some cases, arbitration to help resolve legal disputes.
My goal is to build relationships with clients and attorneys alike, with an eye towards solving my client's problems rather than creating "issues" to be litigated.

The IRS Offer in Compromise (OIC) program was established by the U.S. Congress to help taxpayers who have experienced significant financial problems to get a fresh start, if they qualify.
Back tax liabilities, penalties and interest can be settled.
All federal tax liens can be released once the IRS accepts the OIC and the negotiated settlement amount is paid.
This option is also available with most taxing agencies.
First, for those clients with minimal assets who are able to demonstrate sufficient financial hardship, the taxing agency may designate an account as uncollectable.

Monetized Installment Sales (M453 Transactions) also known as "collateralized installment sales" or "C453 transactions" are based on Section 453 of the IRS Code.
This planning approach uses a third-party dealer in capital assets to defer sale proceeds (and the tax on those proceeds) for lengthy periods of time.
Because it does no good to defer taxes if you do not have access to the funds, this strategy includes a monetizing loan to provide liquidity during the installment period.
This strategy works for sales of assets that are eligible for installment sale treatment under IRS Code §453.
