Sophisticated Tax Counseling for Business and Individuals

The Coleman Law Firm offers sophisticated, high-end tax services to its clients, both individuals and businesses. Our business experience and extensive practice give us a unique perspective from which to engage in all areas of tax planning and advice. If your matter must go before the tax court, we will aggressively represent you there.

Business Tax Consulting

We provide a full array of business tax consulting services. There is hardly a transaction or change in corporate structure that does not have tax consequences. We take the guesswork out of the equation by telling you in straightforward terms what tax consequences you will have in a given situation.

We also offer advice on such matters as:

• Depreciation
• 1031 real property exchanges
• Merger, acquisition and formation issues
• Employee benefits
• Stock option planning
• 401k planning
• Tax liability interest and penalty relief
• Tax litigation issues (from determination letters to taking a tax case to court)

Whatever your business tax needs, we are ready to help you - both for the short term, and for the long term.

Personal Tax Consulting

When dealing with your personal wealth, you want to have the whole picture. For example, your investment advisor, or other professional, may recommend that it is a good time to make certain changes in your portfolio, but may not have taken tax consequences into account. Sometimes what looks to be an advantage on paper turns out not to be advantageous when the tax consequences are taken into consideration.

Many tax consequences occur during life-changing situations.  The birth of a child, divorce, or the death of a loved one may create opportunities or consequences to the individual tax payer. Some substantial tax issues occur, for example, when a couple divorces and properties must be sold or retirement accounts must be split. In these cases qualified domestic relations orders or marital dissolution agreements must be drafted with specific attention to tax consequences. 

We also handle tax relief when you have experienced past difficulties with the IRS, including offers in compromise and innocent spouse relief. If we must go to tax court and engage in litigation to assert your rights, we will.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to discuss a tax matter with us.
