Tax Court Representation

U.S. Tax Court litigation for Dallas and Houston clients. Some controversies cannot be resolved administratively. In those cases, Tax Court provides a forum to challenge a proposed deficiency, protect your rights, and position your case for resolution. We develop the record, negotiate from strength, and litigate efficiently so you understand options, timelines, and risks at every step.

Matters We Handle

• Notices of deficiency, petition drafting, and pre‑trial case management.
• Penalty disputes, reasonable‑cause defenses, and substantiation issues.
• Collection due process, innocent spouse, and related appeals.
• Settlement conferences and stipulated decisions that conserve resources.

Our Approach

We start with the record: transcripts, prior correspondence, and the factual foundation that will matter at trial. From there we evaluate settlement leverage versus trial posture and map out discovery only where it advances the outcome. Many cases resolve before trial; if not, you will be prepared for each stage—pleadings, pre‑trial exchange, witness prep, and presentation of evidence.

When Litigation Makes Sense

Litigation can correct clear errors, preserve arguments for appeal, or simply produce a fairer result than what was offered administratively. We balance risk, cost, and the value of potential outcomes to recommend the best path forward. Throughout the case, we communicate clearly so you can make informed decisions.
