ABOUT ME

I specialize in resolving tax problems

​

If you have to deal with a tax agency, it is important to have an experienced professional on your side who knows the tax collection and audit processes and what is likely to occur at each stage. The prospect of incurring additional taxes, penalties and interest can be upsetting and stressful. The process is also time-consuming, costly and can even seem threatening. The representative's role is to be a buffer between the taxpayer and the taxing authority to minimize those issues as well as obtain an outcome that gets the taxpayer's problems under control.
