Tax Controversies and Litigation

Tax controversies and litigation is the heart of our practice. Representation includes civil disputes at all levels, ranging from audits, administrative matters, to federal and state court litigation, appeals, and post assessment collection matters. 

The practice also includes a concentration in criminal tax, ranging from administrative investigations, to grand jury investigations, to criminal prosecutions.  For two decades, Dave Porter has represented individual and business taxpayers in criminal tax cases against the Internal Revenue Service and Department of Justice. 

The collection disputes involve collection due process hearings to address levies, lien contests, lien foreclosure lawsuits, offers in compromise, and installment agreements.  Dave represents individuals, partnerships, and corporations in income, employment, sales, excise, and estate tax issues.
