Tax Related Prosecutions

We have successfully represented a broad range of professionals and executives in tax related investigations and prosecutions in Boston and beyond. If you or a family member is the subject of a tax related investigation or prosecution, we invite you to contact us to learn more about the depth of our experience, skills and knowledge in this area.

The stakes could not be higher. The Department of Justice remains as focused as ever in prosecuting what it believes to be financial fraud, as evidenced by the creation of the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. Attorney General Holder made no mistake about the mission of the task force when announcing its formation in November 2009: “We will investigate you, we will prosecute you, and we will incarcerate you. We will be relentless in our investigation of corporate and financial wrongdoing, and will not hesitate to bring charges, where appropriate, for criminal misconduct on the part of businesses and business executives.”

Given this priority level, it is imperative that you obtain legal representation as early as possible if you or a family member is the subject of a tax related investigation or prosecution. These matters are often factually and legally complex. A person’s good faith belief in the legality of his conduct can be a defense to tax related actions, and the origin of this defense lies in a comprehensive investigation of the facts and relevant legal principles. We have the resources, experience and skills to effectively defend tax related investigations or prosecutions in Boston and beyond, and invite you to contact us to learn more.

"Rob guided me through the most difficult time in my life ... His preparation for the case and his execution in trial were truly the difference ... I truly trusted him with my life and he came through. Not a great promoter or guy who likes to hype, but he delivers where it counts. I am truly grateful that I selected his name over the vast number of attorneys in the Boston area. I rarely provide recommendations, but in Rob's case, I recommend that anyone facing serious criminal charges, where their freedom and livelihood is at stake, that they contact Rob."
