Do You Need a Tax Audit Attorney?
If so, each of those items will need to be verified during the audit process. Additionally, we may find more credits and deductions that you could have claimed on your tax return, which helps lower your tax bill!

Then you definitely need a tax attorney on your side! Attorneys offer maximum legal protection through attorney-client privilege.
“I had a severe IRS tax audit. Stressful and totally lost on what to do. I contacted the Gordon Law Group (best thing to do)… They took over EVERYTHING. All I did was communicate with them and provide them with information. Every call and email was returned promptly.
My problem was taken care of quickly and with very little financial debt to the IRS.“

Audits don’t have to be painful
We know that when faced with an audit, you want to get it over with as soon as possible, with minimal disruption to your life and finances. The IRS tax audit lawyers at Gordon Law Group know how to do just that, having defended hundreds of audits of all scope and size: income tax audits, payroll audits, sales and use tax audits, and more. We serve individuals and businesses of all sizes.
Even if you’re missing receipts and records, we can help you defend your case, negotiate the elimination or reduction of penalties, and resolve the audit quickly. Along the way, our attorneys are here to answer every question and provide clear, reliable advice.
Secure maximum protection by hiring a tax audit attorney
An IRS audit lawyer offers attorney-client privilege, ensuring that what you say remains confidential—even if the audit escalates into a civil or criminal investigation. Other tax professionals, including Enrolled Agents and Certified Public Accountants, can’t offer this level of privilege.
We’ve seen countless cases where the statements of a taxpayer during an audit cause the matter to escalate. That’s why we guarantee that you’ll work with an experienced, highly qualified tax audit lawyer every step of the way, and minimize your contact with the audit examiner as much as possible. In many cases, we can guide you through the entire audit process without you ever having to speak to the auditor directly!
Complex tax issues? Your IRS tax audit attorney can help
Our team has extensive knowledge and experience in tax matters that other firms don’t practice or often overlook, such as offshore taxes and foreign disclosures, tax shelter investments, sales and use taxes, business transaction law, and cryptocurrency taxes.
Unlike other firms, we can defend your audit even through the thorniest tax issues.
We represent individuals and businesses on all aspects of tax audits
No matter how simple or complex your tax situation is, the tax attorneys and CPAs at Gordon Law Group can help. We handle all types of tax audits: income tax audits, cryptocurrency audits, business tax audits, sales tax audits, and more. We represent clients nationwide in IRS audits, and can also defend tax audits in Illinois.
Here are some common red flags that can trigger an audit and cause difficulty during the process:
- You have a great deal of itemized deductions on your tax return — ones that are outside IRS audit parameters. We can insulate you from any potential liabilities.
- You’re in a business that receives cash from normal business operations.
- Your business expenses are high relative to your income.
- You’re claiming any rental expenses on your tax return.
- You have deficiencies in your taxes from a previous audit.
- You have complex tax transactions on your return that lack adequate information.
- You have deducted any losses from tax shelter investments on your return. This is a juicy tax audit subject, and we can help in the defense of your case.
- You have deducted a complex set of business or investment expenses on your tax return. We have experience in transaction law and its associated effects.
- Someone has given information to the IRS (such as an angry ex-spouse or business partner). We will contradict their statement where it’s necessary.
As you can see, there are many circumstances that can potentially trigger an IRS audit. If you are the subject of an audit, you will receive a letter in the mail. Note that the IRS will not contact you to initiate an audit via telephone, text message, or email correspondence.
You can relax once you hire us as your IRS audit lawyer to defend you. Gordon Law Group has the experience and proven history of success that you need, and we can help you come out with your money and assets intact.
