We analyze each unique situation at the outset and develop strategic responses and solutions so as to resolve your case at the earliest possible point while securing the best possible result.

Problem 1: Non-Compliance

Problem 1: Non-Compliance

Problem 2: Audit Defense, Appeal and Litigation

Problem 2: Audit Defense, Appeal and Litigation

When individuals and businesses are faced with an IRS or state tax audit they feel a level of anxiety or overwhelmed with the process. Even a small oversight in an audit can cost you dearly in the form of lost appeal rights, lost rights to a refund, higher taxes and penalties, and potential levy. We are not just your advocate and confidante, but your advisor to see you through the complex administrative and legal process of tax controversy defense.

Problem 3: Personal Responsibility for Failure to Pay Employment Taxes

Problem 3: Personal Responsibility for Failure to Pay Employment Taxes

Any person responsible for withholding, depositing, or remitting payroll taxes to the IRS or state can be held personally liable for failure to remit. If you are contacted and asked to be interviewed for potential responsibility, you should never attend such an interview without representation. In such an interview, the taxing authority may be seeking additional evidence to assert civil or criminal fraud.

Audit Defense Success Stories

Dan F.

in Portland, OR

"I dealt with IRS problems for years and was receiving letters from the IRS almost every day. I was so overwhelmed. It was such a relief to see the letters stop and know that I had someone who could go toe-to-toe with the IRS. I can’t say enough about Jonathan’s professionalism."

Kindy P.

in Portland, OR

I received an IRS notice of an audit and was stressed out. Jonathan clearly explained what I could expect and how to prepare for the audit meeting. My audit issues were quickly resolved—and with a far more favorable outcome than I had anticipated.

Sharon S.

"I ran into an unexpected IRS problem that gave me many sleepless nights and made me sick with worry. He was the first attorney ever who I felt cared about my problem. He resolved the problem, all within a very short time."
