Tax controversy
Your day in court… or preferably, out of court.
We have a successful and highly respected tax controversy practice and will work to resolve our clients’ tax disputes before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other state taxing agencies. As your representative before the IRS and other taxing agencies, we will zealously represent you in the following areas:
- Representation in U.S. Internal Revenue Service matters. We represent clients in all stages of the tax controversy process before the IRS, including audits and conferences with the Office of Appeals of the IRS. We also handle all types of taxes, including income, gift and estate taxes.
- Representation in state tax controversies.We represent clients in audits by the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) as well as at hearings before the DOR’s Office of Appeals, including domicile audits.
- Litigation. Although our goal is always to achieve the most favorable result for our clients without resorting to trial, we litigate when necessary. Our attorneys have represented clients in the U.S. Tax Court, U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. Supreme Court, the Massachusetts Appellate Tax Board, U.S. District Court for Massachusetts and the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts.
Our attorneys handle tax cases for individuals and businesses, and we also advise CPAs and attorneys in other fields of law, such as family, divorce and employment law, who need specialized tax counsel.
