Estate planning is crucial if you want to minimize taxes and distribute as much as possible to your preferred beneficiaries. We will work with you to design an estate plan customized to your requirements.  

IRS Problem Resolution

Ignoring an IRS tax issue will not make it go away. Many people do not take action soon enough to solve their IRS tax problems because they are intimidated and overwhelmed. We can help.  

Leaving a tax debt unaddressed means interest and penalties will continue to accrue. It can put you at risk of having your wages garnished, your bank account levied, and the IRS even has the power to seize your assets and sell them at auction. We can help you resolve your tax problem while preventing or minimizing these threats.
