What is Tax Litigation?

When you’re facing tax challenges, you might wonder exactly what tax litigation involves. Simply put, tax litigation is the process through which both criminal and civil tax issues are presented, thoroughly examined, and ultimately decided in court—whether that’s Bankruptcy Court, District Court, or the US Tax Court.

Given the intricate nature of tax law and the potentially severe consequences of conviction, having an experienced federal tax attorney guide you through this process isn’t just helpful—it’s essential for protecting your interests and securing the best possible outcome.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Being selected for an audit is arguably one of the worst things that could happen to a small business owner, or at least that’s how I felt.

It felt a lot less stressful when I hired Jess to communicate with the IRS on my behalf. Her extensive knowledge of tax law was evident when she would educate not just me but also the RA on the proper law. 

She went the extra mile every day – with driving to me, essentially holding my hand through an interview, and making sure all responses to the RA were effective. 

If you get audited – I strongly recommend having her by your side.

– Parul G.

As a small business owner, I had an enormous amount of questions. I needed to know how to book keep, claim deductions and credits, navigate selling online, providing services in different jurisdictions, and filing quarterly taxes. 

A small business requires an enormous attention to detail and Jessica helped me be meticulous in strategizing my tax landscape and know the necessary laws and regulations.

I highly recommend her to anyone with tax questions.

– Nate W.
