Tax Law
Generally, Tax Attorneys help individuals: (i) understand their tax obligations (both state and federal), (ii) minimize tax liabilities and maximize refunds, (iii) ensure compliance with tax laws, and (iv) assist with appeals and resolving disputes with the IRS. Their expertise of complex tax codes and regulations can help clients navigate the confusing tax system and make informed decisions for ideal financial outcomes while staying within legal boundaries.
Our Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC) assists low income individuals who have a tax dispute with the IRS, and provides education and outreach to low income taxpayers and individuals who speak English as a second language (ESL).
