With the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), as in life, most disputes may be resolved amicably and without going to court.

Unfortunately, there are always those cases which require more effort, skill, and finesse. If you or your business is unable to resolve a tax dispute with the IRS, or you are unhappy with a decision you have received from the IRS, you require an attorney with the knowledge-base, experience, and skill to bring your case to resolution in an effective manner while achieving optimum results. The attorneys at Kelly | Dorsey have considerable litigation experience and an intimate knowledge of the process; we will doggedly represent, assert, and defend your rights without end to achieve your goals and bring you success.
