 Income Tax Planning

Our clients bring their retirement, capital gain, business sale and other income tax issues to us for guidance.  When consulted in advance of an anticipated transaction or event, we structure the acquisition or sale to qualify for the most efficient tax consequences available under applicable laws.  We employ financial planning analysis focusing on the client's overall position to determine appropriate funding sources and work with our client's accounting professionals to implement the defined strategies. On occassion, we co-counsel with family law professionals to structure the tax consequences of divorce.

Our attorneys are equally capable of assisting individual and business clients with tax deficiency and audit issues.  We intervene on our clients' behalf and negotiate with federal, state and local tax officials to propose Offers in Compromise or make alternate arrangements for payment of outstanding tax liabilities.  Where negotaitions fail, we represent clients in litigation over tax disputes in both the United States District Court and the United States Tax Court.
