Tax Fraud and Tax Evasion 15%

FL Sales Tax problems can start as an administrative matter, but a DOR Criminal Investigator can quickly take over your case. If this happens, it is critical that prior to the Investigator's final report being sent to the State’s Attorney Office, you find an experienced Sales Tax Attorney to lead your defense. Even with a CPA assisting you with the civil audit, they may not be aware of the indicators & procedures DOR follows to make your case become a criminal investigation very quickly.

Great tax attorney

I worked with Dan on a stressful tax issue with the State of CA, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. At first, progress was a bit slow, but Dan’s persistence, patience, and expertise paid off. He made the right corrections with the right people and ultimately resolved the issue. He stayed in ...close contact by email, text, and even Google Meet when needed, which kept everything moving forward. Best of all, he was able to secure the full refunds owed to us by both the State and IRS. I highly recommend Dan to anyone needing a skilled and dependable tax attorney.

Thoughtful kind and respectful of my situation

Daniel is one of the kindest attorneys that I've ever spoken With. He was very thorough and thoughtful With everything that he helped my husband and I with. I truly feel that he put himself into our situation And truly tried To find us a positive outcome. I would definitely use his services again f...or a tax issue. His billing was also extremely reasonable. All in all I was truly dealing with a very honest and caring man.

Gainesville's Best!

Dan is the best! I was way in over my head with the IRS. I had already wasted a couple thousand dollars on some tax service. And then I found Daniel! He's just the best. He's professional. He's responsive. He keeps you informed. Most importantly...he gets results!

Great Tax Help, Scary Tax Situation

Last year I found myself in a tough tax spot. The IRS received information that I earned a bunch of income that I didn't, and for a tax year that was several years back. Daniel was tremendous. His knowledge and demeanor not only put me at ease, but he got straight to work fixing my problem. I am ha...ppy to say that thanks to Daniel Friedel, my tax issues for that year are resolved. Daniel didn't stop after the initial problem. He is still actively helping me make sure this specific problem doesn't pop back up by correcting misinformation. I can't recommend Daniel Friedel enough for any tax issues you might find yourself in. He is knowledgeable, upfront, and ready to help.

Great job

Daniel always responded in a timely matter to my questions, as this was my first time with an IRS problem I didn't know what to expect and nervous. I highly recommend. Thank you
