If you’ve ever had a debt collector at your door, you know how you just want the problem to go away. Now, imagine a debt collector who has the power of the United States federal government behind him. That gives you some idea of why you might need a tax fraud lawyer when you’re charged with tax evasion or any other tax-related fraud.

The IRS has power. A lot of power, and they’re not afraid to wield it. They’re the butt of so many jokes that they love to bite when they smell blood in the water. Now in some cases you could be facing jail time, and they will definitely seek back taxes, and interest, and try to level the most stiff fine possible. The prosecutors for the IRS already think you’re guilty or they wouldn’t have brought the case to court.

The moment you are charged is the moment you need to contact a tax fraud lawyer! The IRS might have been planning this case for months or even years…you need a tax evasion lawyer who can move fast with document-intensive cases like this, one who has experience with the law and the courts and who can offer you the best possible chances.

Remember, just like any business involved in collecting what’s owed, the IRS would rather have some of the money than wait decades for all of the money. Or they might be afraid of losing the case entirely. You won’t know these things without an experienced tax fraud lawyer on your side. Give us a call when you’re charged, or even before if you suspect an impending investigation. We’ll help you navigate the legal system.
