Defending Against Serious Tax Crime Allegations
There is a difference between a mistake and a crime. Unfortunately, the government may interpret your actions as more than a simple error, and you may be charged with a tax crime.
At The Wilson Firm, we focus on tax controversy matters, including defense against criminal tax charges. Our representation extends beyond civil disputes—we protect clients when their liberty and freedom are on the line.
Criminal tax charges can apply to more than just individual taxpayers. Business partners, corporate officers, and fiduciaries may also face prosecution if they are connected to the tax matters under investigation. Our attorneys understand how to navigate these complex, high-stakes cases and develop tailored defense strategies based on each client’s circumstances.

- Tax Evasion
- Willful failure to file a tax return

Strategic Legal Guidance at Every Stage
If you believe you may be the target of an investigation by the IRS Criminal Investigation Division (CID), it’s critical to act quickly. Our tax attorneys can intervene early to resolve the matter before a criminal referral is made to the Department of Justice.
If a referral has already occurred, we assist with defense strategy, plea negotiations, restitution matters, and representation during grand jury proceedings. Our team also collaborates with other criminal defense lawyers in cases involving additional white-collar allegations.
