How to Find a Good Tax Attorney
The difference between a good tax attorney and a bad one is often the difference between resolving your problem and making it worse.
Start with credentials. A "tax attorney" should be a licensed lawyer. Check their state bar membership. Look for actual experience in IRS resolution, not just a tax LLM from law school. Ask how many IRS cases they've handled. If the answer is vague, keep looking.
What to Look For
Experience measured in years and cases, not marketing superlatives. A willingness to tell you the truth — including when you don't need a lawyer. Transparent fee structures with no surprise charges. Direct access to the attorney handling your case, not a call center.
What to Avoid
Guaranteed results. High-pressure sales tactics. Large upfront "investigation" fees. Difficulty reaching the actual attorney. See the full list of red flags.
