Overview
Resolving tax problems
We start by explaining how the IRS process works so you know what to expect. Then we help you choose the best course of action, whether that is negotiating a payment plan, submitting an offer in compromise, or contesting the amount owed through the IRS appeals process.
We also help clients respond to collection actions by the IRS and state tax authorities, including levies, liens, and garnishments.

Frequently asked questions
These answers are general information, not legal advice. Every situation is different, so talk with an attorney about yours.
Can I set up a payment plan for past-due taxes?
In many cases, yes. We explain the installment agreements, offers in compromise, and partial payment options available and help you choose the one that fits your situation.
What can I do about a levy or lien?
We help clients respond to levies, liens, and garnishments from the IRS and state tax authorities to protect their assets.
Can bankruptcy help with tax debt?
Some tax debts can be addressed in bankruptcy, but many cannot. We can review whether bankruptcy, a payment plan, or another option makes the most sense.
Did you receive a tax notice, lien, levy, or collection demand?
