Tax Controversy
When the IRS is on the other side, experience on their side of the table matters. Elaine Harris spent eighteen years as a senior attorney in the IRS Office of Chief Counsel – advising the Commissioner, leading trial teams before the U.S. Tax Court, and working alongside the Department of Justice in the federal courts. She now represents taxpayers.
Representation before the IRS: audits, examinations, and IRS Appeals – handled by an attorney who spent a career evaluating cases the way the IRS evaluates them.
