When the Stakes Are Highest

Criminal tax investigations move quickly and carry serious consequences. Defense counsel needs a forensic accountant who can work through years of records, test the government's tax loss figures and explain complex financial issues clearly.

We are typically engaged directly by counsel. That structure helps keep our work within counsel's privileged strategy. Our role is to analyze the numbers, identify where the government's calculations fall short, and support counsel from investigation through resolution.

What We Do

1

Case Analysis

Reviewing the government's financial theory and identifying weaknesses in its calculations.

2

Financial Evidence Review

Analyzing returns, bank records and business documents to reconstruct what actually happened.

3

Tax Loss Calculations

Independent computations that can materially affect charging and sentencing.

4

Expert Testimony

Clear, credible testimony on tax calculations and financial matters.

5

Voluntary Disclosure Support

Working with counsel when clients come forward under the IRS Voluntary Disclosure Practice.

Who Is This For

  • Defense attorneys who need forensic accounting and tax expertise
  • Individuals and businesses under IRS Criminal Investigation or DOJ review
  • Taxpayers who have received a grand jury subpoena or target letter
  • Clients and counsel evaluating a voluntary disclosure
