Why Choose Our IRS Lawyers Over Others
When you’re comparing tax law firms – whether it’s Optima Tax Relief, Community Tax, or another provider – what separates Lexington Tax Group’s network of tax attorneys is a commitment to personalized, results-driven strategies rather than cookie-cutter approaches. Tax attorneys specialize in federal and state tax law, and our network leverages that specialization to deliver outcomes tailored to each client’s unique tax situation.
- Personalized case strategies – every IRS dispute is different; our tax attorneys analyze your specific financial picture, unfiled returns, and IRS debt before recommending a path forward, potentially saving you thousands in taxes and penalties
- Clear communication and transparent process – you receive regular updates and understand exactly where your case stands, from the initial consultation through final resolution
- Comprehensive protection – attorney-client privilege protects communications between you and your attorney from IRS disclosure, which is critical when tax disputes carry the risk of IRS criminal investigation
- Full-spectrum representation – our network handles everything from installment agreements and penalty relief to United States Tax Court litigation, so your case never outgrows your representation
IRS Issues Our Attorney Network Handles
IRS tax problems rarely resolve themselves. Whether it’s an audit notice, mounting tax debt, or a trust fund recovery penalty against your business, our network of tax attorneys provides the expertise needed to protect your rights and financial future. Tax attorneys provide specialized services for IRS disputes and compliance issues across every major category of tax controversy.
IRS Audits and Examinations
Our network of tax attorneys represents clients in IRS audits – correspondence audits handled by mail, office audits requiring in-person meetings, and field audits where IRS agents visit your home or business. Less than 1% of individual returns are audited in any given year, but IRS audits can lead to significant tax liabilities if ignored. Audit likelihood increases substantially for high incomes, complex returns, and large deductions. Our tax attorneys protect your rights during examinations, minimize proposed adjustments, and pursue penalty abatement when assessments are unwarranted. They also handle IRS appeals when initial audit results are unfavorable.
Tax Debt and Collection Defense
When the IRS initiates collection actions – IRS wage garnishments, bank levies, or asset seizures – the financial impact is immediate. If the IRS serves a bank levy, your bank must hold the funds in your account for 21 days before turning them over to the IRS, which creates a narrow but critical window for intervention. Our tax attorneys can negotiate levy releases based on economic hardship, file appeals to stop enforcement, and arrange payment plans including installment agreements with manageable monthly payments. Tax attorneys help with unfiled returns and wage garnishments to bring your account into compliance and halt further IRS collection efforts.
Offers in Compromise and Fresh Start Programs
An Offer in Compromise allows eligible taxpayers to settle IRS debt for less than the full amount owed. The IRS accepts OICs on three grounds: doubt as to collectibility, doubt as to liability, and effective tax administration. Applications require a nonrefundable fee (typically around $205), an initial payment – 20% for lump sum payment offers or the first monthly installment – and full compliance with all filing requirements. In Fiscal Year 2025, taxpayers submitted 38,797 offers in compromise; the IRS accepted 5,464 of them, totaling $98.1 million in settled tax debt. That roughly 14% acceptance rate underscores why having experienced tax attorneys negotiate your offer matters. The IRS may take up to 24 months to evaluate an OIC, and our network of tax attorneys ensures your application meets every requirement, including the Reasonable Collection Potential threshold the IRS uses to evaluate cases. Tax attorneys can negotiate offers in compromise with the IRS and handle the full process from eligibility analysis through final approval.
Tax Lien and Levy Release
Tax liens damage your credit, complicate property sales, and signal to lenders that you carry unresolved IRS debt. An IRS levy goes further – it’s a seizure of your property, wages, or bank accounts. Our network of tax attorneys works to remove tax liens, release levies, and restore your financial stability. Economic hardship arguments, compliance with filing requirements, and negotiated payment plans are among the tools our attorneys use to resolve lien and levy situations and protect your assets.
How Our IRS Attorney Process Works
Lexington Tax Group follows a systematic, three-phase approach to resolving tax problems – designed to move quickly and keep you informed at every stage.
Step 1: Free Confidential Consultation
Call 800-328-8289 or complete our online form to connect with a tax professional. Free consultations are available with tax attorneys who will review your case, explain your options under the tax code, and outline a preliminary strategy – with no obligation to move forward. Some cases require a tax attorney’s protection; others may be effectively handled by an enrolled agent or CPA within our network. We’ll tell you which path fits your tax situation.
Step 2: Investigation and Strategy Development
Once engaged, our team conducts a comprehensive case analysis – gathering IRS transcripts, reviewing unfiled tax returns, assessing penalty assessments, and identifying every available avenue for tax relief. You receive regular updates, a clear timeline, and the confidence of our 3-business-day money-back guarantee on investigation phase payments. This phase is where attorneys with former IRS experience prove invaluable – they understand the agency’s internal procedures and can anticipate how the IRS will approach your case.
Step 3: Negotiation and Resolution
Your assigned tax attorney or tax professional takes over direct communication with the IRS, handling all IRS negotiations and enforcement responses. Whether the resolution involves an Offer in Compromise, penalty abatement, innocent spouse relief, installment agreements, or representation before the United States Tax Court, our goal is a sustainable resolution that protects your financial future. Tax attorneys can represent clients in U.S. Tax Court for appeals and litigation when administrative remedies are exhausted – a critical advantage that enrolled agents and CPAs cannot provide. Hiring a tax attorney can save significant amounts in taxes and penalties through proven, results-driven strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions About IRS Lawyers
Can IRS lawyers stop wage garnishments immediately?
Yes – tax attorneys have several remedies to address IRS wage garnishments. They can file an appeal through IRS appeals, demonstrate economic hardship to request an immediate levy release, or negotiate an alternative payment arrangement such as an installment agreement. The timeline depends on your specific situation and how quickly documentation can be submitted, but representation accelerates the process significantly compared to handling it yourself.
If you’re facing an active garnishment, contact our team immediately. The sooner your attorney engages with the IRS, the faster enforcement actions can be paused or reversed. Explore your tax relief options.
What’s the difference between tax attorneys and enrolled agents?
Tax attorneys are licensed lawyers who specialize in tax law. They can represent you in any proceeding – administrative, civil, or criminal – including United States Tax Court. They provide full attorney-client privilege in all circumstances, handle complex tax controversies, and offer criminal defense when needed. Tax attorneys often hold advanced degrees such as an LL.M. in Taxation and bring deep knowledge of the Internal Revenue Code.
Enrolled agents are federally licensed by the IRS (a credential dating back to 1884) and hold unlimited practice rights before the IRS in administrative matters. They are strong advocates for resolving tax debt, negotiating installment agreements, and handling audits. However, enrolled agents cannot represent clients in tax court, and the confidentiality protections available to EAs under 26 U.S.C. § 7525 are more limited than attorney-client privilege – particularly in criminal matters.
Lexington Tax Group’s network includes both tax attorneys and enrolled agents, ensuring you receive the right level of representation for your specific case. They also assist with voluntary disclosure programs and other specialized matters requiring expertise.
