Our Criminal Tax Defense Services

We provide aggressive legal representation for clients facing criminal tax charges in Michigan. Our attorneys challenge the prosecution at every stage—from initial IRS investigation through jury trial—with one goal: dismantling the government's case and protecting your future.

IRS Criminal Investigation Defense

The moment you suspect an IRS criminal investigation is the moment to act. Early intervention by our skilled tax defense attorneys can prevent criminal charges from ever being filed. We manage all communications with the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, protecting your constitutional rights while building your defense strategy.

Tax Evasion & Fraud Defense

To secure a tax evasion or fraud conviction, the government must prove you acted willfully—not merely that you made mistakes. Our criminal tax attorneys scrutinize the prosecution's evidence and challenge allegations of tax evasion, failure to file, and filing false returns. We work to demonstrate that any errors were unintentional, not deliberate criminal conduct.

FBAR & Foreign Account Compliance Defense

The federal government aggressively pursues criminal penalties for undisclosed foreign financial accounts. We provide the legal guidance needed to navigate complex FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report) requirements and defend against criminal charges for failing to report foreign assets.

The Consequences of a Criminal Conviction

A guilty verdict in a criminal tax case brings severe, life-altering penalties. Federal prosecutors often seek to make examples of those convicted of tax crimes. Without a powerful criminal defense, you could face:

  • Federal Prison Time – Years of incarceration for each tax offense
  • Devastating Financial Penalties – Fines and restitution reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars
  • Permanent Criminal Record – A felony conviction that affects employment, housing, and professional licenses for life
  • Loss of Professional Licenses – Doctors, lawyers, accountants, and other licensed professionals risk losing their ability to practice
  • Reputational Damage – The stress and public nature of a tax conviction affecting your family and every personal relationship

Don't face criminal tax charges alone. Our experienced defense team knows how to challenge the government's case and fight for your freedom.
