Client Testimonial:

“Great bankruptcy attorney. We believed we had a complicated bankruptcy case and met with Mr. Lynch to discuss it. He was engaging and made it easy for us to understand our bankruptcy options. He communicated clearly what the next steps in filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy would be ,and after we got him our documents, he followed through on what he said he was going to do. In fact, he was successful in removing a second mortgage lien from our property!”

We Solve Tax Problems

There are a number of circumstances under which you might find yourself in need of a tax attorney. These can include a back-log of non-filed income tax returns, large or overwhelming tax debts, the presence of a tax lien for unpaid taxes, an upcoming audit or even criminal charges for tax evasion or fraud. Any of these problems can turn a business or individual “upside down” if they are not handled properly and expediently (not surprising first piece of advice, get in early in the process regardless of where you stand).

These situations include circumstances where: a back log of non-filed income tax returns exist, large or overwhelming tax liabilities threaten a business or individual, pending tax lien for unpaid property tax, audits or tax court issues threaten to turn a business or individual “upside down” if not handled properly, or worst of all being confronted with potential or actual criminal charges for tax evasion or fraud.

In these situations it is best to work with experienced tax professionals who are familiar with the IRS tax code and state tax laws and know how to bring your problem to its best possible outcome.

The tax attorneys at Thomas W. Lynch & Associates understand the workings of the government agencies who may be confronting you. Our legal staff includes:

• An attorney who has previously worked for the Internal Revenue Service in positions involving audit, collections and criminal tax enforcement and for the Illinois Attorney General’s Office in a position involving state tax law enforcement.
• Litigation attorneys, criminal attorneys and a support staff that includes accountants and others who are familiar with dealing with tax matters.

Clients who have turned to us for help with their tax problems have benefited from our confidential handling of their problems.
