If any of this feels familiar

You don't have to face the IRS alone — or in the dark.

IRS problems are stressful, isolating, and easy to get wrong. The first move should never be panic. It should be a quiet conversation with someone who has stood on the other side of the desk.

IRS notices in the mail
Back taxes piling up
Audit letters
Wage garnishments
Bank levies
Liens on your property
Years of unfiled returns
Pressure from Revenue Officers

Every one of these has a strategic path forward. We've handled them from both sides.

The Story

He spent 14 years inside the IRS.
Now he works for you.

David Stone began his career as a Revenue Officer for the Internal Revenue Service — the agents the IRS sends to knock on doors, enforce collections, and pursue liens and levies. He saw the system from the inside, learned its rules from the people who write them, and worked the lien desk where federal tax claims are made and unmade.

Over time, he kept noticing the same thing: taxpayers without insider guidance were getting outmatched by a process they didn't understand. So he left — and built a practice on the opposite side of the table.

"When you've sat where they sit, you know exactly what they'll do next — and exactly how to get in front of it."

14 Years Inside the IRS

A career spent at the Internal Revenue Service — including direct work as a Revenue Officer collecting from taxpayers across Southern California.

Lien Desk Experience

Hands-on work at the IRS lien desk — the same machinery that issues, perfects, and releases federal tax liens.

Offer in Compromise Specialist

Deep expertise in what the IRS will and will not accept — and how to position an OIC for the best possible outcome.

Trained at the "Harvard of the West"

Federal training at one of the agency's most rigorous programs — the same playbook now used to defend taxpayers.

The Approach

A boutique tax defense practice — not a volume shop.

We work with a deliberately small group of clients who need someone strategic in their corner. Every engagement is led by David personally, with the same attention you'd expect from a high-end legal practice.

Insider perspective

We start where most firms can't — with a Revenue Officer's view of what the IRS will accept, escalate, or quietly drop.

Strategic advocacy

Every notice, deadline, and conversation is handled with a defined strategy. Nothing reactive. Nothing improvised.

Calm leadership

We absorb the pressure so you don't have to. Direct communication, plain language, no panic.

Discreet & private

Sensitive matters stay sensitive. Secure intake, restricted access, and a boutique-firm respect for confidentiality.

What We Do

Strategic tax defense, IRS resolution, and proactive planning.

Every service is framed around the same outcome: protection, strategy, and confidence in a system that rarely offers any of the three.

Offers in Compromise

Settle tax debt for what's actually achievable.

Strategic OIC preparation built on direct knowledge of what the IRS will and won't accept — positioned for the best possible outcome.

IRS Resolution

End the cycle of notices, calls, and pressure.

We become the IRS's point of contact. You get clarity, a plan, and someone who knows the playbook on both sides.

Audit Representation

You don't sit across from them. We do.

Full representation through every stage of an audit — from first notice to final determination, with a strategy from day one.

Lien & Levy Releases

Get garnishments and liens lifted — strategically.

Direct experience from the lien desk: knowing exactly how releases are filed, prioritized, and approved.

Appeals & Collections

Push back through the right channels.

Collection Due Process hearings, appeals, and structured negotiation that holds the IRS to its own rules.

Strategic Tax Planning

Stop reacting at filing time. Plan year-round.

Proactive planning for entrepreneurs, professionals, and high-income households who want their tax position designed, not discovered.

Back Tax & Unfiled Returns

Get current quietly, on the right terms.

Catch up on years of unfiled returns through a sequenced approach that minimizes exposure and re-establishes good standing.

Business Tax Returns

Returns that hold up to scrutiny.

S-corps, partnerships, LLCs, and multi-state filings prepared with defense-grade documentation from the start.

Individual Tax Returns

Sophisticated returns for sophisticated households.

Complex individual returns for professionals, business owners, and families with intricate financial pictures.
