Yes we will work with public defenders and court appointed attorneys on a case by case basis. In a IRS criminal tax case you may be one of several defendants.  Each defendant will be required to have separate legal counsel.  If you cannot afford an attorney you are entitled to “adequate representation” under the Criminal Justice Act.  Your public defender or court appointed attorney will need to submit a budget for your defense to the Court.  Your court appointed attorney will need to estimate the cost of your defense which may include services for IRS investigation, IRS expert witness testimony and other costs involved in processing the discovery such as converting paper and electronic files to computer searchable files.  We can provide your attorney with a statement of work to assist in preparing a budget for your defense.

Working with Your Public Defender or Court Appointed Attorney

Public Defenders and court appointed attorneys usually have a very small staff and do not have the litigation support that a large firm does.  However, Public defenders and court appointed attorneys are faced with the same overwhelming volume of discovery and need for litigation support to provide you with best possible defense.

Public defenders and court appointed attorneys will need assistance in the following areas:

• IRS fraud examination
• IRS forensic accounting, investigation and analysis
• IRS electronic discovery (e-discovery) assistance
• IRS Expert Witness
• IRS evidence management
• Case mapping

The need for litigation support in today’s world of high technology inside and outside the courtroom cannot be over emphasized.

If you are charged with a crime by the Federal Government you are defending yourself against the largest litigator in the world.

We can provide the litigation support your attorney needs.  We understand your attorney will need to submit a budget to the Court estimating the cost of your defense.  We can provide your attorney with a statement of work and assist him in preparing that budget.
