check out our OUR PRACTICE
A focused tax controversy and tax planning practice.
We represent businesses and individuals in IRS and state tax controversies — audits, appeals, and litigation — and advise on the planning decisions that keep clients out of trouble in the first place.
PRIMARY PRACTICE AREAS
IRS Audits & Examinations
We defend businesses and individuals through the full IRS examination process — from the first IDR to the closing letter. Correspondence, office, and field audits, including campaign and listed-transaction matters.
Learn more →IRS Appeals
The independent IRS Office of Appeals is where most administrative cases are won. We write protests, present cases at conferences, and negotiate settlements that account for the hazards on both sides.
Learn more →U.S. Tax Court Litigation
About a third of our practice. We litigate deficiency cases, CDP appeals, innocent spouse petitions, partnership-level matters, and other Tax Court controversies — petition through trial and post-trial brief.
Learn more →State & Local Tax
Roughly a fifth of our work. Texas Comptroller sales tax audits, California residency audits, and a wide range of state controversies — through audit, administrative appeal, and judicial review.
Learn more →ADVISORY & RESOLUTION
Tax Advice & Planning
Entity selection, partnership agreements, real estate transactions, M&A, FBAR/FATCA, estate and gift work. The quiet planning that keeps a tax problem from ever happening.
Learn more →Tax Collections & Resolution
Unpaid balances, liens, levies, installment agreements, offers in compromise, CDP hearings, trust fund recovery penalty defense, and innocent spouse relief.
Learn more →WHY THIS FIRM
Former IRS Attorney. Former Appeals Officer.
Kreig Mitchell spent years inside the IRS — first as an attorney, then as an Appeals Officer. That experience shapes the way the firm approaches every matter: we know what the agent is looking for, what Appeals will and will not accept, and where a case is likely to end up if it has to go further.
We work hard, we return calls, and we tell clients the truth — even when the truth is uncomfortable. That is the entire pitch.
