Federal Tax Evasion Defense Lawyer in Washington State
The IRS would rather have the money, but it can and does put citizens behind bars for tax evasion and tax fraud.

We apply all our skills and resources to help clients stay out of jail and negotiate a more favorable resolution to your tax evasion charges.

Call us at 425-214-4351 or toll-free at 866-418-3175, for a free phone consultation. We can help come into compliance proactively, or we can represent you in U.S. District Court if you have been indicted for:

- Filing false returns
Most people do not willfully defraud the government. Perhaps you did not realize you owed the taxes. Perhaps your spouse or ex-spouse kept you in the dark regarding your tax obligations. Perhaps you made an honest mistake on your return. Maybe you were too busy or suffered a personal hardship. Or you thought you were off the IRS' radar and you would "catch up later." But now, in addition to tax debt, penalties and interest, there is the serious possibility of jail time.
We act quickly to determine how much you owe and your ability to make amends. If you can pay the tax, it is in your best interests to do so. If you have been losing sleep because you cannot pay the tax, we can act as the go-between to work out an arrangement. If you hire a lawyer and take steps toward voluntary compliance, the government will have a harder time proving criminal intent.
Contact our Bellevue law office immediately. There is too much at stake to ignore the problem any longer. Attorney Lana Rich will do everything in her power to avoid a conviction.
