If you need an aggressive tax attorney to defend your best interests, David C. Dodge has the skill set with decades of experience to provide effective tax controversies representation, either litigation in federal or California courts, or administratively before IRS and any California taxing agency. Desiring to focus all his attention on his clients’ tax controversies, he choose to operate a single lawyer firm free from the distractions of managing other lawyers, and he does not do any tax return preparation work. The legal representation services he provide is specialized tax controversies like audits, appeals, tax collection defense, offer in compromise, installment agreements, criminal tax matters, bankruptcy, and related tax controversies litigation in federal and California courts.  Other tax attorneys brag that being a certified public accountant and an attorney, offering tax return preparation, drafting documents in transactional work, and legal representation, is advantageous to clients but that is not so. If you allow a tax attorney to prepare your tax returns, or to provide basic accounting services, you waive your attorney-client privileges of secret communications and work product which otherwise may be legally withheld from government disclosure.

While most of my David C. Dodge’s clients live and work in California, he offers federal tax matters representation throughout the United States.   His offices are in Orange County, California, in the cities of Irvine and Huntington Beach.
