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.
When there is a civil or criminal case and the circumstance requires an affidavit, declaration and/or expert witness report and we are retained to handle the work, we are qualified to provide the appropriate affidavit, declaration and/or expert witness report necessary. Read more for examples.
Yes we will work with your existing attorney. We work with law firms that specialize in IRS tax, fraud, and all other financial legal matters.
