Call us today to get started on your case!
Our attorneys with their unique business perspective can step in at the audit stage, or, if need be, try your case before Board of Tax Appeals, Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals, Office of Administrative Hearings, and/or Superior Court. We have a track record of proven success saving our small business clients, in some cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars. This includes a recent trial victory before the Board of Tax Appeals which overturned an assessment by proving to a three judge panel the Department of Revenue's assessment methodology was arbitrary and not based on sound tax or business law.
