Offering Strong Advocacy in Tax Litigation
As a certified public accountant (CPA), I have comprehensive knowledge of federal and state tax codes, regulations and case law and offer strategic insight as a former auditor in public accounting.
From my law office in Los Angeles and Irvine, California, I can help protect your best interests in disputes over:
- Income taxes
- Payroll taxes
- Corporate taxes
- Estate and gift taxes
- Excise taxes
- Property taxes
- Sales and use taxes
I handle all types of tax litigation matters, including cases involving trust fund recovery penalties and disallowed business expenses. I may be able to help you negotiate an offer in compromise.
To help strengthen your case, I have maximized the resources of my Orange County tax law firm. I have access to extensive onsite and online research libraries and routinely utilize online listservs with other tax, accounting and legal professionals that consistently have proven to be invaluable in helping me deal with complex tax, accounting and legal matters. Moreover, my work as chair elect of the California State Bar Tax Procedure and Litigation Committee, vice chair of the Orange County Bar Tax Section and participation as part of the California Society of CPAs Committee on Taxation keeps me on the cutting-edge of taxation and gives me constant access to the brightest tax minds in the state.
Put My Tax Litigation Experience to Work for You
As evidence of my commitment to problem solving, I have a strong and sustained record of favorable outcomes for clients. For example, I helped a client who owed $1.5 million in back taxes reduce his tax debt to $240,000. I helped another client reduce her payroll tax debt as an alleged responsible party from $380,000 to nothing.
Most cases settle before going to court, and I can help you determine whether going to court would be in your best interests. Many cases settle on the court house steps. My extensive settlement experience can help you avoid litigation where possible.
I know it can be intimidating to deal with the Internal Revenue Service, the Franchise Tax Board, the Board of Equalization, and the Employment Development Department. I will keep you informed throughout the tax litigation process to help you reduce your stress.
