When Tax Troubles Amount To Federal Crimes
Tax evasion may start as an administrative law issue with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) but when unpaid taxes become high or when outright fraud is involved, then criminal charges may result.
If an arrest has already happened, the chosen criminal defense attorney(s) should have a strong track record in federal criminal defense. At Leonard Trial Lawyers, you have access to Chicago lawyers who have achieved many favorable outcomes in federal court for tax fraud clients.
