TAX DEFENSE - I.R.S. (& States)

During my many years of experience in the I.R.S., and as a now Retired Internal Revenue Service Agent, Manager, Large Case Manager, and I.R.S. Appeals Officer, I have encountered many situations, both Civil and Criminal, including Title 18 Tax Fraud cases especially while working under the United States Department of Justice (DOJ).

I performed Litigation Support, assisting the U.S. ADA (Assistant District Attorney) assemble cases resulting in an approximately 97% sucessful prosecution rate, thus am intimately familiar with what cases are likely to be accepted for prosecution, and which elements might cause them not to be. 

Based on my many years of  I. R. S. Training & Experience, I know what is required of each:

• Audit Division Correspondence Auditors, Revenue Agents, Office Auditors, Tax Compliance Officers and and their Managers, 
• Collection Division Revenue Officers and and their Managers, 
• Taxpayer Advocate Service Taxpayer Advocates and their Washington D.C. Manager, Nina OLSEN.
• Appeals Division Appeals Officers and their Manager

thus how to most effectively represent you with a level of competence impossible to obtain outside of the I.R.S.

Our other C.P.A. has worked with us for over two decades, and performed Client Representation work up to and including the I. R. S. Appellate level, where they determine whether the case warrants prosecution or not, attaining highly favorable results for our Clients. 

Our "Claycomb ANGELs" are Intelligent, Diligent, Hard Working, with the Senior Angels being highly experienced.

Tax Defense is up to 85% of our business. Logic tells you that you are more likely to achieve better results employing an firm that concentrates almost exclusivelly in the Tax Defense niche, instead of even a good CPA firm that just does them occassionally.

We can ensure that if we accept your case, you will receive strong, experienced representation  before the Federal and/or State Taxing Authorities.

EXPERT Witness

Pending or existing litigation can result in the need for a qualified professional to present his/her opinion to support or oppose evidence submitted to the Court.

While we have experienced competent staff who can compile information efficiently to assist in the calculation and documentation of any potential economic loss or damages, and our level of competence allows us the opportunity to function as Expert Witnesses in such cases.

CIVILLY it involves the quantification of economic damages pursuant to existing or pending litigation using Accounting and Auditing techniques. 

CRIMINALLY it also involves the logical presentation of the evidence in such a manner that a lay jury can understand the alleged violations, then expressing an opinion as to the underlying intent based on the facts presented. 

I was selected five (5) times as Expert Witness for Department of Justice's I.R.S. Strike Force cases, with:

• One case I helped develop, which despite my life being threatened by his family, in front of the Federal trial Judge, resulting in the incarcerating of the Mafia's largest fence in the New York, Miami, San Francisco triangle; 
• Another case (because of the concern of pervasive corruption within the NYC legal system ranks) resulting me being flown as an expert witness to New York City to testify, where I was turned out at 2 a.m.the morning of the trial, Unarmed, White, dressed in a business suit, in Harlem where even the cab drivers will not go at night. 
• When I survived, carefully stepping over a trench coated body laying at the mouth of the subway system's Courthouse exit, showing up in Court the next morning, the obviously surprised Attorneys quickly  talked with  the Defendant,  and then agreed to a "plea bargain".
