Criminal Tax Attorney

A Criminal Tax attorney specializes in taking care of such investigations as tax evasion, failure to file tax returns, and filing a false return. These are obviously just examples, but they are viewed as some of the worst crimes to commit.

A Criminal Tax attorney’s job is to represent you in front of the federal government in the event of the government prosecuting you with a tax violation. The object of the investigative process is to find out if the person willfully violated the tax laws. If they did willfully neglect to follow tax laws, they will take them to court and the Criminal Tax attorney will then actually represent them for that violation.

The Attorney will have to provide evidence that the client did not willfully neglect to follow tax laws. However, the burden of proof really lies on the IRS because they also have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the prosecuted person actually did something wrong completely at their own will.

Criminal Tax attorneys will be given the opportunity to participate in a type of conference with a special agent, the agents chief, and the IRS’s attorney. This conference will allow the tax payer to present information to the IRS that they would like to have considered when they are making the case.

It is recommended that you always contact a lawyer before talking to an agent of the IRS. The reason for this is to protect the client. Also, in the event that the information that they are trying to obtain is for someone else you can be charged with providing false information in the event that the information that you give the agent doesn’t follow through or prove correct. The Agent will then have to talk to the attorney about these matters once you have given them power of attorney.
