Why Hire an Attorney?
The IRS Revenue Officer is really nice and working with me?
The Revenue Officer may seem to be working for your interests, but do not forget, their employer is the government. Their goal is to be able to collect as much of the tax liability owed in the shortest period possible.
I have a CPA that files my returns, can’t they handle this situation as well?
Ask your CPA if he deals with IRS collections every day. If not, then you need someone that specializes in this area of practice. We can work with your accountant as a team to provide the best resolution.
Other companies have contacted me, how do I choose?
I highly encourage you to utilize the web for research of the companies and also look for any complaints against the company. Most of the time, you are talking with a sales associate, not an actual CPA or Attorney, which means they are just trying to get you in the door with their pitch. Ask to make sure you are talking with a licensed professional that will be handling your case. Do not let anyone make you feel pressured, this should be an informed decision and you should take the time to look into the company.
Can’t I just handle this situation on my own?
The Internal Revenue Code is thousands of pages long. Although you may think you can handle things, if the situation starts to turn in the wrong direction you need to know what to do next. Each action of the IRS comes with a notice where you are given due process rights to respond. However, everything is time sensitive and must be answered or you lose the opportunity. My job is to navigate your business or personal tax situation. You can rest assured that I am looking at every possibility in order to find the resolution that is most beneficial for your situation.
I already have an attorney, why do I need you?
My specialization is in tax controversy—dealing with the IRS in the collection arena every day. Each attorney has their own specialty of law. If you were planning an estate, you would look for an estate attorney etc. Finding the right attorney that practices in the area of law that you are looking for is key for success to your problem.
