When you need experienced criminal tax defense, call Gordon Law Group. Our priorities are the same as yours: ending the investigation, protecting your assets, and letting you move on with your life.
Eggshell Audit
A self-employed Chicago businessman was subjected to an eggshell audit (an audit with high potential for criminal investigation) regarding business expense deductions. After he hired Gordon Law Group, the audit closed in 1 month with no criminal prosecution and no other tax years examined.
No Prosecution
A restaurateur was subjected to a criminal investigation regarding sales and use taxes by the Illinois Department of Revenue. The criminal investigation closed without a referral for prosecution and the case remained civil.
Income Tax Returns
The IRS opened a criminal investigation into a physician for alleged fraudulent filing of income tax returns. We found that the client’s business processes were insufficient for determining underreported income. The investigation closed without a prosecution referral and the case remained civil.
We strongly recommend calling a criminal tax attorney right away if you have any concerns about tax fraud, tax evasion, or other tax crimes. This is especially true during a sensitive tax audit.
Our skilled tax lawyers will fight to end the investigation as soon as possible; avoid criminal charges; and in some cases even settle your tax bill for pennies on the dollar.
If you’re concerned about potential allegations of evading taxes, then you should speak to a criminal tax attorney immediately. The IRS has a shocking success rate of sending tax fraud perpetrators to prison—according to the United States Sentencing Commission, 65% of cases resulted in prison sentences in Fiscal Year 2019. The average sentence was 16 months.
By calling a criminal tax attorney the moment you have concerns, you can stay ahead of the IRS. Call our experienced lawyers today for a 100% free and confidential consultation.
If you’re under suspicion of tax evasion, hiring strong criminal tax defense is the smartest thing you can do. The IRS recognizes your right to hire an attorney and will not take it as an admission of guilt.
However, if you say anything to the IRS Criminal Investigation Division (CID), you may very well hurt your own case. What you see as a reasonable explanation for your actions could actually be an admission of guilt in the eyes of the law.
Unlike a typical CPA or tax preparer, we offer attorney-client privilege, ensuring your statements to us remain confidential. Plus, we have the experience and qualifications to defend you in court if your case escalates.
Don’t let the IRS make an example of you! Schedule a free, confidential consultation with our criminal tax attorneys today and get experienced defense on your side.
The IRS has a Criminal Investigation Division (CID) that pursues criminal charges for tax crimes. Because the CID has limited resources, it focuses on high-priority cases—such as organized crime, narcotics trafficking, public corruption, and white collar crimes.
The Criminal Investigation Division focuses on cases they’re most likely to win; according to the IRS’s 2018 Annual Report, the CID opened 1,714 investigations for tax crimes and secured 1,052 criminal sentences—a sentencing rate of over 60%.
The CID aims to scare taxpayers into compliance by making an example of tax evaders, which is why you need a skilled and experienced criminal tax lawyer on your side.
However, even if the CID doesn’t get involved, that doesn’t mean you’ll get off scot free for tax crimes. The main branch of the IRS can still slap you with large financial penalties for tax fraud.
If the IRS Criminal Investigation Division (CID) has sent you a letter; spoken to you, your family, or your associates; or come to your house or business, then consulting with an experienced criminal tax attorney should be your first move.
You’ve heard it a thousand times on TV: “Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” This is also true in criminal tax cases.
If you say anything to an IRS investigator, you might actually be hurting your case, even if you think the information is in your favor. Speaking to family and friends about the investigation may cause them to be roped in as witnesses against you. Protect your rights and make sure an experienced tax fraud lawyer is your very first call.
