• Are you facing criminal charges related to tax evasion or tax fraud?

Mr. Lopez has litigation experience, knowledge of applicable tax law, and a valuable understanding of the collections procedures that apply in these cases. Our firm strives to negotiate a favorable outcome, but if litigation is necessary, we can defend cases before federal and state courts.

The Law Office of Scott P. Lopez represent individuals, corporations, accountants, and other professionals who are involved in civil or criminal tax litigation matters. Our federal and state tax litigation services help clients resolve matters involving:

Collection actions: We assist individuals and companies against whom the federal government has filed a case to reduce judgment and collect a debt. We thoroughly review all the facts of each case to determine the best defense against collections. We investigate whether the tax assessment was completed properly, whether the statute of limitations was missed, whether the tax lien was perfected, and many other defenses to collection actions.

Foreclosure actions: Our firm assists individuals and corporations who face losing valuable properties in foreclosures. If the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a notice of foreclosure on your real estate property to enforce a tax lien, contact an attorney who understands the foreclosure process and ways to protect your property.

Criminal tax investigations and litigation: Criminal tax litigation involves both civil penalties and criminal charges. These crimes include tax fraud, tax evasion, failure to file, and other white collar crimes that are investigated by the Criminal Investigation Division (CID). These are serious charges, and you need an attorney who has the experience and skill to aggressively defend your rights in court.

If you believe you are under investigation by the CID for tax evasion or tax fraud, or if you have been charged with a tax-related crime, contact the Law Office of Scott P. Lopez for a free initial consultation.

Grand jury subpoena: Mr. Lopez also represents accountants and other business professionals whose clients are being investigated for tax fraud and other tax crimes. We can make sure your rights are protected if you have received a grand jury subpoena or summons to appear to testify.
