CRIMINAL TAX INVESTIGATIONS

Representation by an experienced attorney is critical if a case might be criminal.

Type of Dispute

Criminal tax investigations can arise in a number of ways. There can be an informant, a referral from another law enforcement agency, or even a criminal tax case resulting from a civil audit. However the investigation starts, it is necessary to make a comprehensive investigation to determine and prepare the best available defense. The federal sentencing guidelines and IRS practices often mean that a conviction requires time in jail. It is therefore critical to use all means to try to get the investigation ended at the earliest possible stage.
