Representative Matters

In the first year since starting Allen Tax Law, the firm as successfully saved its clients over $2,000,000 in tax and penalties asserted by the IRS alone.

15 Years of Experience

We have extensive experience handling high-stakes tax disputes before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of Justice (DOJ), California Franchise Tax Board (FTB), California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), Employment Development Department (EDD), and other state and federal courts for income tax (civil and criminal), international tax, property tax, sales and use tax, and employment tax matters during all phases of a controversy (audit, protest, appeals, settlement and litigation).

Client Results

When, unbeknownst to us, our tax return preparer neglected to file our tax return on time, the IRS asserted a penalty of over $25,000. After other professionals were unsuccessful, I approached Drew to see if there was any more that could be done. Within a few months, Drew had the penalty abated and we received a full refund.
