Tax Debt

Tax debts require immediate action. To collect tax debt, the IRS and the Maine Department of Revenue have multiple strategies they can use, many of which can devastate you and your family financially. They can use tax liens, wage garnishments, levies, and intimidating notices and telephone calls. To protect yourself, your family, your home, and your job when you are in tax trouble, you should consider having a tax lawyer on your side. We understand the complexity of your tax problem and will work to get you the tax debt relief you deserve.

An experienced tax attorney can provide help in avoiding wage garnishments and levies, releasing tax liens, filing late tax returns, negotiating offers in compromise and resolving payroll tax problems.

Taxing agencies will take advantage of a taxpayer who is not knowledgeable about the tax law or audit and collection procedures. Protect yourself from error, abuse, and intimidation. Taxpayers frequently overpay their tax liability, either as a consequence of inappropriate agency actions or because they do not have the counsel of a skilled and experienced tax lawyer.

To avoid overpayment, you must face this head-on as soon as you are notified of a tax liability. But you don't have to do it alone. We can help.
