Results That Matter

You don’t just want an attorney who understands tax law. You want someone who gets results. Here’s just a few examples of the results we’ve achieved for clients like you:

Reversed over $500,000 of Imputed Underpayment

Successfully challenged an IRS partnership audit through the modification request process, saving our client over half a million dollars.

Saved over $5.5M in federal tax liability

Represented a day-trader with extensive disallowed wash sales and negotiated a favorable Offer in Compromise, reducing the liability to a manageable amount.

Reduced property tax assessment by nearly 50%

Assisted a trustee facing multi-year property tax reassessment for change of ownership after death of the trust grantor, achieving a significant reduction in assessed value.

Closed multiple EDD worker classification audits with no changes
Defended business owners’ use of independent contractors as falling within the exceptions to AB-5, allowing them to continue operations without costly reclassifications.
Negotiated nearly 50% tax reduction at OTA for sales tax
When a California business owner’s books and records were deemed insufficient at audit, CDTFA estimated under-reported sales tax using available data. We created enough doubt during oral arguments before the California Office of Tax Appeals that CDTFA voluntarily revised the assessment, reducing it by nearly half.
