Tax Law

The laws of taxation are complex and full of pitfalls. When the letters start coming from the Internal Revenue Service you want more than just a Certified Public Accountant on your side.You want an attorney and CPA that knows the ins and outs of the United States Tax Code and has the ability to represent you in front of the United States Tax Court.

The United States Tax court is a court that is not associated with the Internal Revenue Service. By petitioning the US Tax Court for relief, you can dispute any alleged deficiency without paying the disputed amount. My goal is to empower ordinary citizens with professional representation before the Internal Revenue Service and United States Tax Court.

Many attorneys specializing in taxation charge in excess of $500 per hour. My rate is $250 per hour. Why? Because by lowering my rate, I make myself accessible to those without millions of dollars at stake. I make myself accessible to those people who have tax problems and need professional help.

(I reserve right to change hourly billing rate without notice).

Spousal Relief

The laws of the IRS allow certain relief for people who have been harmed by the filing of a joint return without their knowledge or consent and are now subject of back taxes, penalties or interest. I can help you make your case to the IRS which may allow you to be relieved of this tax liability.

Estate Planning

Most estate plans have a significant amount of language aimed at reducing a decendant's tax liability when they die. This leaves more for the surviving spouse or heirs and puts less in the government's pocket. With my understanding of the tax laws and years of tax experience I am well suited to put together simple or complex estate plans for you or your loved ones. Even for those of us that do not have millions of dollars of wealth an estate plan is still very important. If you have minor children who will care for them when you die? Who will get your important family heirlooms or keepsakes? Who will make critical medical decisions for you if you are incapacitated? If you want your wishes to be met after you pass away, an estate plan can help you.

I am willing to review your existing estate plan to make sure it reflects the most current tax laws. If you do not have an estate plan already, what are you waiting for? Come in for a free half hour consultation! I will help you start planning for your family's future!

Transactional Law

Thinking of starting a business? What type of entity you should form is a question that should be carefully considered before you start business. Once a business is started, the costs of reorganizing or changing can be more than if you just started out as a certain type of business. I can consult with you to determine the best type of business to form from a sole proprietor to corporation taking into consideration tax effects, liability issues, ease of bookkeeping and many other relevant aspects of business formation. I can handle all of the State's filing requirements and help you get your business up and running the right way!
