If you find yourself in a difficult situation, you should never talk to an IRS representative on your own. If they show up at your home, don't invite them in — step outside and tell them you are represented by counsel and give them my name. I tell all of my clients that the most important thing they can do is to collect evidence. If you have lost your paperwork in a hurricane, for example, you can go to the bank and pay a fine for your records.

At the end of the day, I will always take charge and lift your case off your shoulders. At the same time, you should also provide the best, most accurate information you can whenever possible. Don't wait to get the help, advice, and support you need.
