Services
An attorney and an actuary, Tom brings a unique skill set to the tax challenges faced by individuals and businesses, both at home and abroad. More than twenty-five years ago Tom left the plains of Kansas to earn his law degree in Washington, D.C. Afterward, he worked as a criminal prosecutor in New York and later became a Fellow in the Society of Actuaries.
Whether you're dealing with the IRS, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, the Appellate Tax Board, or the U.S. Tax Court, act now to protect yourself, your family, and your assets. Just because you've received a letter demanding payment doesn't necessarily mean you have to pay the amount stated.
Unfiled tax returns and tax debts owed can result in liens on your property, both public and private, and damage your credit rating. And that can hamper your ability to move, change jobs, qualify for loans, or obtain financial aid for yourself or your children's education. For many folks, building a better future for themselves and their families begins by fixing prior tax mistakes.
When you first get that letter from the Taxman demanding that you pay back taxes, plus interest and penalties, it can be a stomach-churning moment. The amount they want you to pay, and just about immediately, too, could change all your future plans. The thing to try and remember, though, is that the letter is just the IRS or DOR's opinion that you owe them money.
But sometimes it happens that, when all is said and done, there remains a balance due. In that case the IRS or DOR will demand payment. Fail to pay and they can file tax liens against everything you own, even seize your bank accounts, investments, your car and home. It may feel as though there is nothing more to be done but pay if you can or suffer the humiliation of seizure if you can't.

Tom was the first professional to be willing to talk to us about our unique tax situation as expats with a state penalty. He was very easy to talk to, responsive, and fair. I had worried that some tax lawyers might try to scare us into paying for unnecessary services or ignore us because of our low net worth. I'm incredibly relieved to have found an experienced and trustworthy tax lawyer to talk to and was happy to pay for his professional advice. I'm no longer saddled with anxiety over our tax situation!!
