Family Law

• Divorce
• Guardianship
  If you become mentally disabled, then you'll need to have a two part estate plan in place – one that will take care of your personal decisions and one that will take care of your financial decisions. Otherwise, you and your assets could very likely end up in a court-supervised guardianship or conservatorship.

• Fraud
  Special agents analyze information to determine if criminal tax fraud or some other financial crime may have occurred. Relevant information is evaluated. This preliminary process is called a “primary investigation.” The special agent’s front line supervisor reviews the preliminary information and makes the determination to approve or decline the further development of the information. If the supervisor approves, approval is obtained from the head of the office, the special agent in charge, to initiate a “subject criminal investigation.” At this point, at least two layers of CI management have reviewed the ‘primary investigation’ material and determined there is sufficient evidence to initiate a subject criminal investigation.
• Money Laundering
  The Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division conducts criminal investigations regarding alleged violations of the Internal Revenue Code, the Bank Secrecy Act and various money laundering statutes. The findings of these investigations are referred to the Department of Justice for recommended prosecution.

Business and Corporate Law

• Corporate Law
  Areas of Practice Federal & State Tax Controversy; Tax & Commercial Litigation; Tax Crimes; Taxable Transactions and Corporate Law; Trusts and Estates; Bankruptcy.
• Business Disputes
  One of the things I have enjoyed about my litigation and controversy practice is that it has made me a better business law attorney. Working in litigation, you see all of the things that can go wrong in a business or transaction. While I frequently encouter taxpayers who have received unfavorable tax results from a business deal, I have also seen many business deals turn sour simply because of poor planning on the front end.

Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  Exactly what is estate planning? In simple terms estate planning involves both planning for the possibility of mental incapacity and planning for certain death.
• Wills
  Upon your death, you'll also need to have a two part estate plan in place – one that will insure all of your debts will be paid and one that will determine who will receive the balance of your assets.Last Will and Testament - The basic legal document that addresses planning for death is called a Last Will and Testament. A will contains a written set of instructions to your loved ones as to how you want your estate to be handled after your death. One of the biggest drawbacks of using a will to dictate the distribution of your assets is that the property must go through probate before your family will be able to take legal control of it.Probate – Probate is the court-supervised process of inventorying all of your assets after your death, paying your final bills, and then distributing what's left to your loved ones. The key here is that probate is “court-supervised.” In other words, probate is dictated by the probate laws of the state where you live at the time of your death and can tie up your property for months or even years before your family will have access to it.
• Trusts
  Generally, there are four broad, overlapping classifications when referring to types of trusts: Living Trusts, Testamentary Trusts, Revocable Trusts, and Irrevocable Trusts.
• Power of Attorney
  Advance Medical Directive - The legal document necessary to delegate your personal decisions is called an Advance Medical Directive, also called a Medical Power of Attorney or Designation of Health Care Surrogate in some states. It will allow you to give to the person of your choice the right to take care of your personal needs and make your medical decisions if you're temporarily or permanently unable to do so for yourself.
• Probate

Finance Law

• Bankruptcy
  Chapter 11. Chapter 11 is primarily used by business debtors or individuals with substantial debts/assets and income. Chapter 11 is a form of reorganization which is designed to allow debtors to continue to function while it follows a debt repayment plan. This repayment plan is negotiated and approved by a committee made up up the debtor and creditors. Although there are certain statutory limitations applicable to tax debts, this form of Bankruptcy can be extremely beneficial to debtors (and taxpayers) operating a business which have the potential to repay their debts. An important factor to consider regarding Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is that the Bankruptcy Court becomes involved in virtually all of the debtor's operating activities. While this may seem somewhat intrusive, the benefits are often worth it. There is also a heavy degree of tax and accounting reporting associated with a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. This makes it more expensive than a Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, but again, the benefits are often worth the extra expense and extra reporting.
