Worry-free audit and tax controversy resolution

For most tax-related issues you can usually turn to a CPA or accountant. But when a tax controversy or more complicated tax issue arises, such as an IRS audit, engaging an experienced tax attorney becomes necessary to ensure that your rights – and your finances – are well protected.

The tax attorneys at Wood & Lamping represent individuals in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky in a variety of tax controversy matters. We are privileged to have one of the most respected tax attorneys in the State of Ohio, Howard Richshafer, as our chief tax attorney. A former U.S. Treasury/IRS agent, Howard understands the nuances of organizations like the IRS and brings an “insider’s perspective” to each case - something no other firm in Cincinnati can boast. Howard is also an adjunct lecturer at the University of Cincinnati; he teaches four graduate level tax courses in the MBA program.

Our impressive slate of tax attorneys have superior expertise and knowledge of tax law. This enables our tax attorneys to look at every case from a variety of angles and to plan a strategy that resolves tax issues in the most systematic and creative way possible. We also stay on top of the ever-changing rules and tax laws to avoid getting tangled in governmental and IRS loopholes that might delay resolution.
