Why Hire A Tax Lawyer?

You may be asking yourself if you need a tax lawyer when facing a dispute with any governmental tax agency. Many of our clients have told us that the agent handling their tax audit discouraged their use of professional tax representation. In general, we believe it is a mistake for a taxpayer to fail to retain an attorney during an audit or when a dispute arises with a tax agency. You can make inadvertent mistakes, such as volunteering too much information, which results in the agency expanding the audit beyond the initial scope. With a capable attorney on your side, such errors and pitfalls can be avoided.
