Why You Need a Lawyer for a Tax Audit in Ann Arbor

Our Ann Arbor tax audit attorneys bring extensive knowledge of state and federal tax law to protect you throughout the process.

Many taxpayers face the IRS alone, only to find they have exposed themselves to greater scrutiny and financial harm. We stand between you and aggressive tax authorities to defend your interests at every step.
