Tax Controversy and Litigation

At Hone Maxwell LLP, our unique background of public accounting and tax preparation experience gives us the ability to completely understand our clients’ tax situations.  This knowledge allows us to more competently represent our clients than attorneys with only legal experience.  Additionally, as experienced attorneys we are able to more effectively and completely represent our clients in their tax controversy or dispute than a CPA or accounting firm without the ability to practice law.
