Need tax attorney representation? We can help.
Tax attorneys provide the highest level of legal protection and representation for complex tax disputes, criminal investigations, high-stakes litigation and situations requiring attorney-client privilege protection. Tax attorneys can deliver sophisticated legal strategies, courtroom advocacy and privileged confidentiality that only licensed attorneys can provide. While Enrolled Agents and CPAs offer excellent representation for most tax matters, certain situations demand the unique skills and protections that only attorneys possess. Criminal tax investigations, tax fraud allegations, complex Tax Court litigation, appeals court proceedings and high-dollar disputes benefit from attorney expertise in legal strategy, rules of evidence and litigation procedures. The Attorney-client privilege is unavailable with other tax practitioners because attorneys provide critical protection for sensitive communications, particularly important when discussing potentially problematic past actions or facing criminal exposure. Experienced tax attorneys can represent clients in Tax Court, District Court, Bankruptcy Court and Appeals Court, handling everything from routine disputes to multi-million-dollar controversies. Tax attorney representation typically costs more than Enrolled Agents or CPA services, but for complex cases, high dollar amounts or situations with criminal exposure, the investment delivers protection and expertise that proves invaluable. Experienced tax attorneys combine deep tax law knowledge with litigation experience, negotiation skills and strategic thinking that achieves optimal outcomes in even the most challenging cases. Whether you're facing IRS examination, collection actions, appeals or litigation, tax attorneys provide powerful advocacy that protects your rights and interests. Resolve Federal Tax Group is not a law firm nor are such representations being made. Resolve Federal Tax Group may employ attorneys pursuant to IRS Regulation Circular 230. We may coordinate closely with CPAs and tax attorneys when cases are complex and benefit from multidisciplinary representation, ensuring you receive the exact combination of experience and skills your situation requires. During this coordination we will ensure your rights and interests remain protected throughout the whole legal process. Schedule your free consultation today to discuss your specific needs and discover how our expertise can benefit your tax situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
You need a tax attorney when facing criminal investigation, tax fraud allegations, complex litigation or situations requiring an attorney-client privilege. For standard IRS representation, audits and administrative matters, Enrolled Agents are equally qualified and more cost-effective.
Attorney-client privilege protects your communications from being disclosed to the IRS or used against you. This is critical in criminal investigations or when discussing potentially problematic past actions. Enrolled Agents and CPAs don't have this same privilege.
