“I know The Laws and The Numbers”

Why do you need a Tax Attorney? Tax lawyers specialize in tax laws. But since tax impacts all law, Tax Attorneys are best for handling complex technical and legal issues in many fields of law. Tax attorneys must have a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree and must be admitted to the state bar. Plus have additional training in tax law.  If you are facing a complex accounting, business or legal matter, an attorney who is also a Certified Public Accountant is often essential.

 

You definitely need a tax attorney if:
