PRACTICE
AREAS
We represent clients in disputes with the IRS, the California Franchise Tax Board, the Employment Development Department, and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration — handling audits, appeals, and collection matters across income tax, payroll tax, and sales and use tax.
For clients with assets, income, or business interests abroad, we handle offshore compliance and reporting issues.
Sometimes, tax debts drive an individual or business into bankruptcy, and we represent clients seeking debt relief through bankruptcy.
ABOUT US
Situated in the heart of Silicon Valley, we represent individuals, businesses, trusts, and estates before the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing agencies including the California Franchise Tax Board, Employment Development Department, and California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
Typical cases we handle include audits (civil examinations), administrative appeals before the IRS Office of Appeals and California Office of Tax Appeals, tax litigation in the U.S. Tax Court and federal district court, tax collection (post-assessment work), as well as criminal tax investigations. We also handle trust and estate matters for clients, including trust administrations and probate matters.
Our goal is to solve our clients’ problems through cost-effective and practical solutions, while maintaining the highest standards of ethics in the practice of law. Our boutique practice enables us to deliver high-quality legal services at a cost-effective and affordable price to our clients. We take pride in providing dedicated and personalized service to each of them.
The Firm was founded over 16 years ago by Steven L. Walker, a former attorney at the IRS Office of Chief Counsel and Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of San Francisco School of Law.
