Tax Evasion Defense

The IRS often threatens prosecution and to seek full criminal penalties. However, they may be willing to accept a settlement that ensures them the money owed, while avoiding serious consequences. For example, tax authorities may be willing to accept an Offer in Compromise, which settles on a repayment amount that is less than actually owed. Additionally, you may qualify to pay tax arrears in installments if you cannot afford to pay the full amount all at once.

Confronting the IRS directly is often the best way to achieve a favorable outcome. Mr. Teakell will thoroughly analyze the evidence and the prosecution's case to determine the best option for you, whether that is negotiating a deal or challenging the allegations in hearings and federal court.
