Tax Attorney in California

Each California tax agency is aggressively chasing all taxpayers who owe them money on past due taxes – from the CA Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for California income tax, to the CA Employment Development Department (EDD) for California payroll taxes, to the CA State Board of Equalization (BOE) for California sales tax.

Each of these agencies uses a variety of unique policies and procedures in order to administrate, examine and collect money from you. Without a tax attorney in California, you can be vulnerable.

California has also recently passed a bill allowing all state agencies to revoke / suspend almost any California state license of its worst delinquent taxpayers. This includes revoking / suspending your CA driver’s license, CA contractor’s license, your CA medical license and your CA law license.

If you are in need of a California state tax attorney and tax resolution specialist, we have a 30 year history of successful outcomes for clients who’ve used our CA tax help services.
