Tax audits and resolving tax problems is an area of law that requires a unique understanding of the complicated tax codes and tax regulations to properly navigate and defend taxpayers rights. Many taxpayers and small business owners have large tax debts or are facing tax audits which can result in devastating amounts of tax assessment from the IRS or CDTFA sales tax.

Victor got us out of a jam with the IRS. We were the first to be offered a new amnesty program and it saved us quite a bit in taxes, but more importantly gave us peace of mind.
