Unlike any other firm, our tax controversy team consists of multiple former IRS criminal special agents and tax prosecutors with over a century of civil and criminal tax investigation and enforcement experience. Because of our wealth of knowledge and experience, other professionals, including law firms and accounting firms, routinely turn to us to assist in defending their clients in sensitive and complex matters involving significant tax issues.
