WE HELP BUSINESSES & THEIR OWNERS
We negotiate with California Tax Collection Agencies to help reduce your overall tax debt and make it more manageable for you to pay
We offer legal representation to protect your rights and ensure that you are treated fairly by the California Tax Collection Agencies.
We help you to take advantage of the offer in compromise program, which allows taxpayers to settle their tax debt for less than the full amount owed.
To think that State tax debt is any less important than federal tax debt is to be mistaken. If you do business or live in California, State taxes take a big chunk of your pay. The Golden State does a fantastic job drawing residents into its tax net of 8.84% (businesses) and 13.3% (individuals). Factor in the State's notoriously aggressive collection and enforcement activities, and it's a perfect storm.
California's tax system is intricate too. Instead of adopting federal law wholesale like how other states do, CA legislators pick and choose. Even the State's tax dispute resolution systems and tax agencies are unusual. And we don't want to mention its tax statute of limitations, which are downright scary.
These cruel practices in dealing with California collections inspired us to choose this profession. You don't have to fight California tax collection agencies alone. From our professional consultation to resolution, our team will work to get you the debt relief you deserve.
We have personally seen, up close and personal, how difficult the state can be when they believe they are owed money.
While many people have no idea of how impossible they are to deal with — until they are going through this process — we understand the seriousness of this issue and therefore, do everything we can to intervene.
The state will attempt to use a lot of very aggressive tactics in order to steer taxpayers into paying more than they can afford, so our focus is on evening the playing field by introducing ways to preserve a reasonable quality of life for our clients who owe state taxes.
Our focus is to create a real avenue of relief for taxpayers – something that is lacking at the state level.
Do you feel scared about your tax situation? Overwhelmed? That's where we come in.
As a firm that has been in business for years, we have seen almost every kind of tax case come through our doors. Our team is on hand to offer answers for clients impacted by bank levies, garnishments, liens, and other challenges.
Every client deserves a customized plan. That's why each of our solutions comes with a dedicated attorney who gets to know you and your unique situation and will strive to resolve your problem.
We do not stop at just resolving one tax debt issue. Once we have succeeded in ascertaining your issue, we will guide you through the appropriate process to prevent future tax issues.
All of our engagements start with a 60-minute strategy session. Sam or one of our senior attorneys will sit down with you and your team, business, or family to discuss your situation and your goals. By the end of the meeting, you will have a strategy and a step-by-step game plan for moving through the audit as quickly as possible.
These sessions, and the plan that comes out of them, are delivered to you without further obligation to our firm, regardless of whether you retain us going forward.
We start by protecting you against the State's most aggressive actions while we gather the data we need and prepare to execute. California is tough and can be overly aggressive in the collection of tax debts that the State feels you owe. As a result, our first action is to stop collections and provide you with the necessary room to breathe. After all, decisions are best made when the threat is neutralized, even in the short term.
Once the immediate problem is stopped, we then work on putting into place a long-term resolution that is on your terms and not the State's terms. We gather all the data and build your long-term plan for dealing with these issues once and for all. We then sit with you to go over the plan and pick the path that we are going to execute on.
When California gets tough, we get tougher. We lead you through the pitfalls associated with dealing with California state tax collections and work to achieve your goals no matter what lies on the road ahead. Fortune favors the bold. Although we will protect you every step of the way, and most of our clients do not even feel the bumps in the road, our attorneys and team are in for a fight with California. You can count on the State being as aggressive as possible and can count on us to deliver an equal, opposing response.
Our approach is not about aggression, though, as we strategically move you through the process as quickly and painlessly as possible. When you work with California state tax collections, they will tell you "no" ten times before they will tell you "yes." Our collections practice is defined by our mental toughness on behalf of our clients for their benefit and best interest. Eventually, we always get to the end.
The journey is always different, but the destination for our clients is one of peace in knowing that we have fully and finally handled their California state tax collection issue.
Set up a quick call with our firm's concierge to see if we'll be able to help you. The whole process will take 10 minutes or less. If your matter is urgent we will also help to expedite a meeting with Sam.
