An Attorney Standing Up for You Against the IRS

The Internal Revenue Service can feel like an unstoppable force. While taxes are necessary, sometimes the IRS steamrolls individuals, families, and small businesses along the way. If you’re feeling trapped by the IRS—like Fay Wray in the grip of King Kong—my job is to help you break free and regain control of your life and finances.

Helping Small Businesses And Families Deal With The IRS

Big corporations have the resources to hire teams of tax lawyers to protect their interests. Unfortunately, smaller businesses like yours often don’t have that advantage and can easily get overwhelmed by tax problems. Most of my clients are small business owners who need help resolving tax issues so they can focus on what they do best—running their business.

As a business owner, without automatic paycheck withholdings, it’s easy to fall behind on taxes, especially as quarterly payments pile up. The stress builds, quarter after quarter, leaving you anxious about how to make payroll or clear your tax obligations. That’s where I provide support—ideally before things escalate—to help you regain control and resolve your tax challenges.

Your Goals Are My First Priority

No matter what kind of tax problem you’re facing, I’ve seen it before—and I’m here to help you overcome it.

Whether you’re struggling to meet your tax obligations, under investigation by the IRS, dealing with liens against your income or assets, or even facing criminal charges for unpaid taxes, I’ll guide you toward a solution.

If you need a fast, decisive resolution, I’ll work to settle things as quickly as possible. If reducing your tax burden is the priority, I’ll fight relentlessly to minimize what you owe. And if you’re concerned about losing your home or business due to levies or liens, I’ll do everything I can to protect what matters most to you.

Additionally, I provide strategic advice for business owners looking to avoid future tax issues. It’s far easier to prevent problems before they arise than to tackle them when they’ve spiraled out of control.

A Business Built On Saving Others’

If you had told me 30 years ago that I’d be running a firm with dozens of employees—offering health insurance and unlimited sick leave—I might have laughed. But my passion for defending people, particularly against government overreach, has always driven my career. It’s why I started out as a public defender, even though it wasn’t the most lucrative field.

In tax resolution, I’ve found the perfect balance: I can continue to stand up for individuals and small businesses against the IRS while also building a successful practice. Over the past 20 years, I’ve developed a team of skilled attorneys, paralegals, and assistants across the country, all dedicated to helping people like you take steps toward a better tomorrow.

Get The Tax Relief And Solutions You Need

No matter where you’re located, what kind of business you run, or how deep your tax troubles go, my team and I are ready to help. Reach out today, and together, we’ll work to protect your business, family, and future from the IRS’s grasp.
