Tax Litigation Jacksonville, FL
One thing you can say about the IRS: It’s persistent in tracking you down. You may be receiving endless phone calls, emails, letters, and possibly a visit from the process server informing you of a wage garnishment or pending lawsuit. You have rights, though, including the right to an attorney to represent you throughout the process. Our Jacksonville tax litigation lawyer acts as a liaison between you and the revenue department, handling all communications and working toward resolution.
We can preserve your appeals rights and preserve the issues at hand, keeping more options open for you. Although we strive to settle the matter without litigation, we’re very comfortable in both state and federal courts. Our attorneys are admitted in District Court and Tax Court, so we can represent you no matter which venue your case is filed in.
As skilled negotiators, we can often achieve a workable compromise with the IRS that doesn’t leave you living hand-to-mouth or in deep debt you can’t get out of. We review your options, which may include setting up an installment agreement or reasonable payment plan, arranging a full repayment of money you owe, or negotiating a penalty abatement. We can also guide you through the application process for a Currently Not Collectible status (CNC) or an Offer in Compromise (OIC) settlement. These can be difficult to get approved on your own; we prepare the filing, ensuring that no errors or omissions cause it to be denied.
Should our efforts at an out-of-court settlement fail, we provide vigorous advocacy in court. Our legal team builds a strong case in your favor, including offering proof of any mitigating or unusual circumstances. We protect you and everything you’ve worked hard to earn. Our attorneys can even help you if you have had a state tax warrant issued against you, are facing federal tax lien issues, or are facing potential passport revocation issues.
Experience Makes A Difference In Tax Litigation
