About Venar
Biography
As principal and founder of Ayar Law, Venar Ayar helps businesses and individuals navigate difficult IRS and Michigan tax issues, from audits and back‑tax settlements to payment plans, lien/levy releases, criminal tax‑fraud defense, and FBAR compliance. After several successful years as a solo tax practitioner in metro Detroit and a subsequent role at RJS Law in southern California, Venar returned to Detroit when he observed a shortage of qualified, ethical tax‑resolution lawyers and an increase in scammers taking advantage of vulnerable taxpayers during the economic downturn. His prior ownership of an accounting and tax‑preparation service, supermarkets, and a hotel informs a pragmatic, business‑centered approach to tax problem resolution and helps him deliver practical, results‑focused solutions for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
Top-rated Michigan tax attorney Venar Ayar helps individuals and businesses with IRS tax debt relief, audits, unfiled returns, tax liens and levies, and criminal tax defense, protecting clients’ property, bank accounts, and freedom nationwide.
Trusted Michigan tax attorney focusing on IRS and state tax law, audits, back taxes, liens, levies, and payment plans, helping individuals and businesses resolve complex tax problems and protect assets.
Experienced tax fraud and tax evasion lawyer defending clients in IRS and state criminal tax investigations, audits, false return allegations, unreported income, concealed assets, and offshore accounts, working to reduce penalties, fines, and jail exposure.
