A retainer can be seen as a down payment for us to begin working on your case. The funds are stored in a trust account (managed by WA state) and still belong to you. We take payment from this trust account only after the work is billed and you are invoiced. This gives you maximum protection of the law and keeps your money separate from our operating accounts.
If the case is resolved before all your funds are depleted, we will refund you the remaining amount. If the work required exceeds the retainer amount, we will ask you to replenish the funds.

Unlike most tax attorneys, CPAs have a lot more knowledge on accounting principles. While tax attorneys are very well versed on tax laws, not all of them choose to do tax preparation.

However, later down the road after a tax is already deemed owing, a tax attorney is trained to challenge the assessed liability, penalties, and provide the taxpayer with a collection alternative, such as settlements with the IRS (offers in compromise) or setting up the taxpayer on the ultimate installment repayment plan.
Most tax attorneys like to take a case from the audit stage to end – to the collection stage, as making the wrong arguments during the audit may detrimentally impact the result of the case.
