Questions

Common questions

Do I need a tax attorney instead of a CPA?+
For back taxes, unfiled returns, and collections, an attorney adds attorney-client privilege and the ability to represent you in disputes — including U.S. Tax Court.
Can you stop a wage garnishment or levy?+
Often yes, and quickly. Getting into compliance and opening a resolution channel is what pauses aggressive collection.
Do you handle both IRS and California cases?+
Yes — federal and state (FTB, EDD, CDTFA) are handled in parallel, not as an afterthought.
What does it cost?+
We quote a flat fee in writing after the free consultation, so you know the full cost before engaging.
