Criminal Tax Secrets: What Every Defense Attorney Should Know: An Insider’s Guide to Evaluating Every Stage of a Criminal Tax Investigation

A criminal tax investigation is an unique white-collar case that only the IRS can investigate. For criminal defense attorneys to represent their clients well, they need to know a mixture of accounting, business law, and tax law. They also need to know how to deal with the IRS, its criminal investigators, and federal prosecutors who use IRS-Criminal Investigation in their prosecutions. When negotiating deals in criminal tax violations, the government will have their financial and tax expert—so should the defense attorney.

Written by a former special agent with the IRS-Criminal Investigation, this book pulls back the curtain and gives advice to criminal defense attorneys and their law firms, so they can evaluate the evidence against their client. It is an insider's guide on how a criminal tax investigation starts, the best chances to get an investigation dropped, what weaknesses to look for in a case, and how to get the best possible outcome possible.

With over 20 years experience investigating tax crimes, the author lays out the best strategy for each of the investigation: egg-shell audits, criminal investigation, post-indictment, trial, and sentencing.
