Orlando Tax Fraud Defense Attorney

Avoiding Tax Fraud Charges

There are many proven options available to a hard-hitting Orlando IRS tax relief lawyer when a person is charged with a tax fraud crime. A primary defense is to show your actions were not done on purpose, that you were not intending to defraud the IRS. In the government's case, a key element is to prove that you willfully did something that you knew was against the law. If you don't confess to this or there is no one to testify on the government's behalf, only circumstantial evidence can used to reasonably prove that you are guilty. Without this proof of intent, the prosecution's case can be fatally weakened.

There are other situations where Attorney Brian Loughrin works to utilize his near 20+ years of experience to aggressively defend your rights towards obtaining the best possible outcome in your case. Sometimes, the examiner in an IRS tax audit will mislead a taxpayer regarding whether or not there is a criminal tax investigation into their case. When it can be shown that this covert action resulted in an individual laying aside their rights against illegal search and seizure and caused them to give information to the examiner, this may be used to make the data gathered inadmissible.

Tax Fraud Defense

In the vast majority of cases, an investigation or subsequent charges for tax fraud comes from a tax examiner referral. If our office assists in preparing your tax return, including any past due returns, and we are able to represent you at your audit, our goal becomes minimizing the reasons why an investigation may be launched against you in the first place. If you want to know, "How safe is my information?" the answer is it is only protected by the attorney-client privilege, which does not extend to a tax accountant. This illustrates why it is important for our office to be involved very early on with your taxes.

The blocking of an IRS summons, applying the statute of limitations to your case or ensuring that proper use of circumstantial evidence is adhered to by the IRS, may also produce a favorable outcome in your case.
