RICHARD CARPENTER
CERTIFIED TAX LAW SPECIALIST
NAMED A 2008 "SUPER LAWYER"

WHEN DEALING WITH THE IRS, EXPERIENCE IS CRITICAL
AND RESULTS ARE WHAT COUNT
... THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.

WELCOME. I am San Diego tax attorney RICHARD CARPENTER. Since 1984, I have successfully assisted more than one thousand clients with resolving their IRS and California tax disputes and tax problems. My law practice is limited to IRS and California civil and criminal tax controversy defense. Each client receives my direct, personal attention. If you are involved in an IRS or California tax dispute, I can help you.

I have 24+ years of tax law experience and top credentials. I am Certified as a Tax Law Specialist by the State Bar of California. This is the highest designation available to a California tax attorney. Also, Martindale-Hubbell has awarded me an "AV" rating. This is the highest and most prestigious rating available to any U.S. attorney for legal skills and ethics. For the past 15+ years, I have also been a part-time tax law professor at the University of San Diego School of Law teaching both Criminal Tax Fraud and Tax Court Litigation classes. I am the author of 14 published tax law articles, including some of the leading articles in the U.S. in resolving civil and criminal tax disputes.

I have also been recognized as one of the 2007 Top San Diego County Attorneys by the San Diego Daily Transcript legal newspaper and was also recently named a 2008 "Super Lawyer."

Unlike some tax controversy defense attorneys, I did not start out my legal career as an IRS attorney using the Tax Code against honest taxpayers. I also did not start out my legal career as a federal prosecutor working to put good people in prison for some mistakes on their tax returns. Instead, I have devoted my entire 24+ year legal career helping to defend hardworking, family-oriented taxpayers against the far and powerful reaches of the Internal Revenue Service and I am proud of that accomplishment. Being an effective tax controversy defense attorney is a mindset and I have had that tax defense mindset for my entire 24+ year legal career.

WARNING: Tax law is complex. Thus, it is very important that you hire only an experienced, State Bar Certified, tax attorney to represent you and that you carefully review their background before you hire them. I recommend a minimum of 15 years of tax controversy defense experience. Don't be fooled by some glitzy looking "tax-help" website. As you may have already noticed, many of those websites intentionally avoid listing the background of the tax person who will be working on your case because he / she is either a novice attorney, or worst yet only a para-legal or an accountant.

Successfully solving tax law problems requires skill, plus tax law knowledge and years of experience. It is certainly not a job for a novice attorney. To protect yourself, you should hire only a tax attorney who is a Certified Tax Law Specialist by the State Bar. Remember, there is no such thing as a routine call or letter to the IRS. A skilled Certified tax lawyer will tailor each communication precisely to your specific tax defense plan. Each communication to the IRS means something and it is very important that nothing is overlooked or taken for granted.

RESULTS . . . that's the bottom line ... what every client is looking for. Despite my strong record of favorable client outcomes during the past 24+ years, I refrain from making any case result promises to you over the internet without knowing the complete facts of your case. Each tax case is different. Instead, if you retain me as your tax attorney, I promise to carefully listen to you about your specific tax situation, to fully educate you about the unique intricacies of your case, to meticulously perform my work, and to provide the IRS and/or the Court with the most advantageous position of your case. Over the past 24+ years, this attention-to-detail approach has benefited my clients greatly.
