Most criminal tax cases are resolved through the plea negotiation process. However, for a variety of reasons, many cases proceed to trial.

At the outset of a case it is usually difficult to distinguish between those cases that are pleaded out and those that will proceed to trial. For this reason, it is absolutely essential that taxpayers who are under criminal investigation or have already been indicted by a grand jury consult with a tax lawyer who understands the criminal process and is prepared to defend you in court if need be.

Criminal tax cases are not like other criminal cases. They are extremely complex and require a deep comprehension of the federal tax laws and a thorough understanding of the federal rules of criminal procedure.

There are many lawyers who know criminal law and there are many lawyers who know tax law. There are very few who know both.

The tax attorneys and professionals at The Pappas Group have more than 20 years experience representing taxpayers before the IRS criminal investigation division, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Courts.

We know the law and IRS counsel knows we know the law.
