A Tax Law Firm, Not a Tax Relief Company

J. David Tax Law Represents Taxpayers in All 50 States

Who Is J. David Tax Law?

J. David Tax Law is a national tax law firm headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida that represents individuals and businesses before the IRS and state tax agencies. The firm’s tax attorneys resolve tax debt, audits, levies, liens and wage garnishments through 19 tax relief services in five practice areas, and a licensed tax attorney, not a caseworker or enrolled agent, handles every case.

The firm holds an A+ rating and accreditation with the Better Business Bureau, more than 500 five-star Google reviews, and over 40 years of combined attorney experience. IRS wage garnishments are released in as little as 48 hours once the firm is retained.

For a balance that cannot be paid in full, the firm’s attorneys prepare and negotiate the IRS resolution the financial record supports: an installment agreement or Offer in Compromise under the IRS Fresh Start Program, Currently Not Collectible status, or innocent spouse relief. Each program has its own eligibility rules, and the attorney files the application and negotiates it with the IRS.

In an IRS audit, the firm’s attorneys represent the taxpayer before the examiner, file IRS appeals, and negotiate any balance the audit assesses. Penalties are removed through First Time Penalty Abatement or reasonable cause abatement, requested with IRS Form 843, when the compliance history or the circumstances qualify.

Representation begins with a free consultation and flexible fee payment plans. During the consultation, a tax attorney reviews the notices and balances, identifies the resolution options available, and explains the costs involved before any engagement begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Tax Attorneys

Answered by Jonathan Sooriash, Senior Tax Attorney

A tax lawyer is an attorney who represents taxpayers in disputes with the IRS and state tax agencies, including tax debt, audits, collections, appeals and Tax Court litigation. A tax lawyer differs from a CPA or enrolled agent in two ways: attorney-client privilege, which keeps communications confidential even if a case turns criminal, and the ability to represent clients in court. At J. David Tax Law, a licensed tax attorney, not a caseworker, handles every case.
Tax lawyers in the United States typically charge $200 to $500 per hour, and flat fees for defined matters commonly run from $1,000 to $10,000 or more depending on the case. The balance owed, the number of unfiled years, and whether enforcement is already active drive the cost more than the hourly rate. J. David Tax Law quotes the fee during a free consultation, before any engagement begins, and offers flexible fee payment plans.
Yes. Once IRS Form 2848, Power of Attorney, is on file, the IRS communicates with the attorney instead of the taxpayer, and the attorney negotiates directly with the assigned agent or collection unit. The resolutions an attorney negotiates include installment agreements, Offers in Compromise, Currently Not Collectible status, penalty abatement, and levy and wage garnishment releases.
J. David Tax Law offers 19 tax relief services in five practice areas: tax debt solutions, IRS enforcement actions, IRS disputes and audits, specialized tax services, and tax filing and compliance. Within those areas, the attorneys handle Offer in Compromise settlements, IRS payment plans, wage garnishment release, tax levy and tax lien resolution, audit representation, IRS Criminal Investigation defense, First Time Penalty Abatement and 940 & 941 payroll tax compliance. View all tax relief services.

Yes. The firm represents taxpayers before state tax agencies as well as the IRS, including the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, and the North Carolina Department of Revenue. State agencies run their own collection tools, from tax warrants to wage garnishments, on their own deadlines, so a balance owed to both the IRS and a state is resolved in one coordinated plan.

Representation begins with a free, no-obligation consultation by phone at (888) 789-5011 or through the consultation form. During the consultation, a tax attorney reviews the notices and balances, identifies the resolution options available, and explains the costs involved before any engagement begins.
