 The Trevillion Law Firm will…

Aggressively defend our clients in criminal tax matters referred to the US Department of Justice (DOJ) from the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) of the IRS.

 
Any person or entity in the United States or doing business with people or entities in the US can become a target of the IRS. Frequently, people learn that they are under investigation before they are charged. Tax fraud or tax evasion can include failing to file a return, failing to pay due taxes, or intentionally providing false information to the IRS to lower or paying avoid taxes.

 
Specifically, any of the below actions can constitute tax fraud:

  • Failing to declare income
  • Falsifying books or records
  • Claiming fake deductions
  • Claiming fake dependants
  • Underreporting income
  • Overstating deductions
  • Hiding or transferring assets
  • Using illegal offshore tax shelters

 

Our firm represents companies, their owners and executives, and individual taxpayers throughout the state of Oklahoma and the nation who are under investigation for, or have been charged with, tax crimes. When clients come to us early in the case, we are often able to minimize the damages or penalties they suffer. We will seek to demonstrate that you were not intentionally defrauding the government with respect to your tax burden. The Trevillion Law Firm, PC will work to get any charges dismissed or reduced, and to avoid or bargain down fines and penalties. If you are unsure whether you have committed a criminal tax crime, or want to make a voluntary disclosure to the IRS before you get charged with tax fraud, come to us for sound legal counsel and let us assess your circumstances.

 
Penalties for tax evasion, both civil and criminal, can be severe. IRS investigators are aggressive and federal prosecutors take tax evasion cases seriously. Our white collar criminal defense attorneys have years of experience representing individual taxpayers and businesses in tax crime cases.

 
Federal criminal tax cases are pursued by the IRS’ Criminal Investigation Division (“CID”). When a CID agent begins a case, he or she must get approval from the IRS and then cycle the case through the U.S. Attorney’s Office. This bureaucratic procedure gives you and your defense attorney several chances to try to resolve your tax problems and minimize the risk of prosecution. At each stage, our attorneys can meet with government lawyers and attempt to convince them that their case is unsupported, or explain is understandings that may have caused the alleged violations. In this way, our lawyers have been able to resolve tax crime cases to our clients’ satisfaction, saving them money and helping them to avoid or minimize negative repercussions.

 
Tax crimes, including tax fraud and tax evasion, are serious white collar crimes, and those being investigated or charged with such violations need an experienced attorney to protect their interests. The attorneys at The Trevillion Law Firm, PC stand ready and willing to vigorously defend your legal rights.
