Frequently Asked Questions About Tax Law Issues

Our clients often have similar concerns about tax law matters and working with a qualified attorney to resolve their issues. Here are the answers to some common questions:

When should I hire a tax attorney instead of handling it myself?

Hire a tax attorney when facing complex legal issues beyond routine tax preparation or IRS correspondence. This includes criminal investigations, federal court litigation, significant audits, subpoenas, or aggressive enforcement actions. Tax attorneys also provide attorney-client privilege protection that accountants and preparers cannot offer.

Can you help with New York State tax issues?

Yes. Our firm handles comprehensive New York State and New York City tax matters, including audits, disputes, and enforcement actions. We provide guidance across the full range of state and federal tax issues affecting individuals and businesses in New York.

vWhat is the difference between a tax attorney and a CPA?

Tax attorneys provide legal representation in disputes, audits, and litigation and can appear in court on behalf of clients. CPAs focus on accounting, compliance, and tax preparation but cannot represent clients in court or provide legal defense in tax litigation. Attorney Brad Randolph is both a licensed CPA and an experienced tax attorney, offering integrated legal and financial expertise.
