Tax evasion is a federal crime that results in excessive fines and possible prison time. Our Los Angeles Federal Criminal Defense Attorneys understand the seriousness of this offense and we are available to help you if you are facing tax evasion charges.

Tax evasion involves failing to report income or claiming unauthorized deductions. If the government is suspicious of illegal tax activity, you may be subject to an IRS audit or a criminal tax investigation. Among the things investigated are your income tax, estate tax, and payroll tax.
