With our experience as a former attorney-advisor to the U.S. Tax Court
and from our reputation as an authority in the gift and estate tax
arena, we have been successful in negotiating very successful gift and
estate tax cases with the IRS on various levels. We represent clients
in connection with their federal estate and gift tax controversies. We
assist in the audit process, handle the IRS Appeals (briefs, settlement
conferences, hearings) and if necessary, bring the case to the United
States Tax Court. The process can be costly but if the stakes are
high and the case has merit, these proceedings should be pursued. We
are often called upon by professional advisors to assist in evaluating
the merits of each case. Finally, the audit process requires
careful attention to the procedural rules of the IRS as well as those
of the U.S. Tax Court. Failure to observe these rules may foreclose the
desired course of action. A timetable as well as a coherent strategy,
in addition to experienced representation, are all vital prerequisites
for a successful result on audit. Our office would evaluate the case
and determine with you an appropriate course of action.
