Taxation

A. Tax Planning Practice

We provide tax practice services to individuals and to small to medium size companies, including a significant number of closely-held businesses. Our tax practice encompasses all areas of federal, state and local taxation, including the following:

  • Tax advice in structuring acquisitions, mergers, divestitures, and similar transactions.
  • Tax planning in reorganizations and the formation of business organizations.
  • Compensation planning for employers and employees.
  • Real estate tax planning for acquisitions and developments.

B. Tax Problem Assistance

We provide assistance with various types of taxpayer related issues, including:

  • Tax compliance, dispute resolution and litigation, including audits, liens, levies, seizures, garnishments, unfiled tax returns, penalties, etc.
  • Appeals and trials involving income, payroll, franchise, property, excise, sales and use tax issues.

We believe that it is critical to have a tax attorney and CPA represent taxpayers in these types of situations as early as reasonably possible. Our firm does not provide tax return preparation; however, we have an in house CPA to assist with our areas of tax practice and we work regularly with our clients' CPA and accountants on tax related matters.
