Compliance

Because of her training as a CPA, attorney Lucy Petry can prepare challenging tax returns that would pose issues for your typical fly-by-night preparer.

We handle state and federal audits, IRS letters, notices, liens, garnishments, offsets, penalty abatements, payroll tax issues, offers in compromise, installment agreements, and any type of disagreement with tax assessments. Whatever your needs, we have the skills to untangle the complex web of tax laws surrounding your case and get you back on the right track.

Planning

Whether you are growing your business or advancing your career, you might be facing increased tax liabilities and similar concerns.
