Why Choose Tax Workout Group?

We are Not the typical “Tax Resolution Firm”

Most other Criminal Tax Defense Attorney are part of a “cottage industry” of tax relief agencies whose primarily offering is an “Offer-in-Compromise.” This “administrative option takes forever to get processed, usually has a low acceptance rate, provides the government with a “road map” to your assets and acts as a “tolling event,” substantially delaying the period before you can eliminate your tax claims in bankruptcy. We are different. We don’t offer you limited administrative options – we present the full spectrum of solutions – we fight for a real fresh start, one that addresses all of your debt.

Tax Avoidance or Tax Evasion – which is it?

While the law permits tax avoidance, it severely condemns tax evasion. Oftentimes, the courts themselves have erroneously treated these two concepts similarly. In fact, certain IRS Code sections, by virtue of the way they were drafted, reveal an inability to separate the two.

The federal government has enacted a comprehensive statutory framework of criminal and civil penalties aimed at prohibiting and punishing anyone engaging in tax fraud to deter noncompliance with the filing and payment provisions of Internal Revenue Code. Moreover, since the criminal and civil sanctions for tax fraud are not mutually exclusive, In many cases exposure to one may trigger exposure to the other and it’s inevitable that the taxing agency will pursue civil fraud penalties against a taxpayer convicted of a criminal tax charge. At Tax Workout Group, our Criminal Tax Defense Attorney will defend against both civil and criminal exposure of our tax clients.
