How to know that the attorney is professional and able to handle your case?

There are a lot of tax attorneys who help with IRS tax troubles.  There are a lot that have been doing this work for a number of years.  It can be difficult to decide which tax attorney you should hire to help with your case. 

Our advice is always to try to seek out the tax attorneys who are engaged, who are curious, who are interested in learning and exploring the tax law, and who you feel comfortable with.  The one thing you do not want is to hire the tax attorney who is not engaged.  You do not want to hire a tax attorney who has stopped reading and learning.  Tax laws change.  Opportunities change.  What is acceptable and what will be accepted changes.  

How do you find a tax attorney that is engaged?  There was a time that you could judge a tax attorney by their website.  If they had a blog, you could rest assured that they were keeping abreast of the tax laws.  This was a good indicator the tax attorney would be able to effectively handle your tax problem.  Those days are gone.  Many tax law firms and others use third parties to write their blog posts and to provide content for their websites.

But the tax attorneys website is still one of the best ways to find an engaged tax attorney.  How can you tell this from their website?  The short answer is that their website content will probably not be as polished.  The writing will have a personality.  It may even express an opinion occasionally.  It will present information that is specific, rather than general.  It will have the hallmarks of being written by a tax attorney rather than a journalist.  This type of content is easy to spot when you are specifically reading the content and looking for it. 

The tax attorney’s website is also a great way to get to know the attorney and what type of cases he or she handles.  This can also give you some comfort that the tax attorney can handle your matter.

Needless to say, we are tax attorneys.  We are engaged.  We focus on tax laws.  It is our passion.  It is what we do.  We hope you can tell this from our writing and think you will find the same for the content on our website.  Please visit our website at www.irstaxtrouble.com or call us at 713.909.4906.
