Overview
Bailey Glasser's tax controversy attorneys are here to help clients navigate disputes with the IRS and state tax authorities against tax-related claims and lawsuits including allegations of tax evasion, fraudulent tax returns, or failure to pay taxes. Our decades of experience vests us with a deep understanding of tax laws, regulations, and compliance issues; a deep knowledge of the procedural and substantive aspects of tax litigation; and the common-sense aspects of knowing how to work with powerful federal and state agencies to protect your interests while seeking to minimize your tax liabilities.
