Our Work Background Helps Us To Take On Complex Tax Law Issues

How Do I Select A Tax Attorney?
Find a tax attorney not only with experience, but one who can also take your case to Federal or State court including the U.S. Supreme Court, if needed.
Tax Litigation: Federal and State
Tax litigation, like all aspects of tax law, is complex. For your case to be successful, you must cite cases that support your position and, sometimes, convince a court to override a conflicting precedent. At times, this may involve arguing that the government’s position conflicts with the constitution, whether federal or state. This requires proficient, vigorous legal representation.
At M. Bradford Randolph, Esq., PLLC, we focus on litigating your claim, through appeal, if necessary, to win your case. We are open to case settlement, if a practical opportunity arises, but we are prepared to litigate your claim, if that is the best course of action to protect your rights.
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 that extend beyond basic tax preparation or simple IRS correspondence. Professional legal representation is essential for:
• Criminal tax investigations, federal court litigation and significant audit disputes
• Grand jury subpoenas, search warrants or criminal investigation notices
• Complex business transactions and international investment compliance
• Substantial tax debts with penalties exceeding thousands of dollars
• IRS threats of asset seizure or aggressive collection actions
Tax attorneys provide attorney-client privilege protection that accountants and tax preparers cannot offer, which becomes crucial during IRS investigations or criminal proceedings. When facing these serious matters, experienced legal representation can often mean better settlements and payment arrangements than individuals can achieve alone.
Can you help with New York State tax issues?
Yes, our firm handles comprehensive New York State and New York City tax matters for Manhattan clients and businesses throughout the region. Our practice encompasses the intricate state and local tax regulations that affect individuals and companies operating in New York’s complex tax environment.
We represent clients in various New York State tax matters, including:
• New York State residency audits involving high-income individuals and domicile determinations
• Sales tax compliance, audit defense and multijurisdictional nexus issues
• Corporate franchise tax compliance, apportionment and combined reporting requirements
• Personal income tax disputes involving New York State and New York City obligations
• Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax requirements for metropolitan area employers
Our understanding extends beyond federal requirements to encompass the detailed New York State and City tax regulations, providing comprehensive guidance for our Manhattan clients facing state and local tax challenges.
vWhat is the difference between a tax attorney and a CPA?
Tax attorneys and CPAs serve different but complementary roles in tax matters. Tax attorneys provide legal representation and can appear in federal court, handle criminal tax defense and offer attorney-client privilege protection. CPAs focus primarily on tax preparation, accounting services and financial analysis but cannot represent clients in court proceedings or provide legal advice on complex tax disputes.
Attorney Bradford Randolph uniquely combines both qualifications as both a licensed attorney and a certified public accountant, providing clients with comprehensive legal and accounting knowledge in a single professional relationship.
