Testimonials
Trusted by THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS
Jason Silver is an excellent attorney who delivers on his commitments. I came to Jason in July 2013 with over $50,000 in back Federal Taxes. The IRS had placed Liens on my credit. There was no realistic way I was ever going to pay this off working in the business I was in at the time. What’s worse is that I could not return to my previous career (where I could actually have made enough money to pay off such a large debt) because doing so required State & Federal Licensing that I was disqualified from because of the Tax Lien.
It is now July 2014. My tax debt is gone. Completely gone. Jason negotiated an extraordinary Offer In Compromise with the IRS on my behalf. I met every condition required of me, with Jason’s expert guidance. My Tax Liens have been released and I am currently in the process of renewing the State & Federal Licensing I need to return to a far more lucrative, abundant and fulfilling career.

What is the single greatest impact Jason Silver has had on my life? I now sleep easy at night, free of fear of what the IRS might be planning for me next.
I went to the Silver Law firm last year with a bizarre situation. Although the situation has not come to a resolution, Jason has been “watching out” for me and keeping me informed as events occur. I am very comfortable with him and his firm.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Federal & White Collar Crime Defense Services
How Does the IRS Determine Tax Fraud?
There are key factors that make tax fraud evident to the IRS, such as:
– Failing intentionally to pay taxes or file payroll tax reports
– Filing a false tax return
– Falsely claim tax deductions and tax credits
– Falsifying a social security number or other documents
What Happens If You Are Found Guilty For Tax Fraud?
Tax fraud is considered one of the most serious types of federal crimes, in other words, a felony. Those found guilty of tax fraud will serve up to five years in federal prison and pay a maximum fine of $100,000.
What's The Difference Between Tax Evasion & Tax Avoidance?
Tax evasion is illegal and involves deliberate failure to pay taxes or providing false information on tax returns, such as underreporting income. On the other hand, tax avoidance is a legal avenue for lessening tax liability and maximizing after-tax income.
When Will I Know If The IRS Is Auditing Me For Tax Evasion?
A Notice of Audit and Examination Scheduled will be issued in most cases. This notice is to inform you that you are being audited by the IRS, and will contain details about the items that need to be reviewed. The IRS will include the deadline to submit these documents, in either a mail audit or an in-person audit.
