About Jan
Biography
I specialize in all aspects of tax controversy. Until I moved to Traverse City I served as a Trial Attorney with the Tax Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. I received several awards from the Department of Justice and from the Internal Revenue Service for my outstanding service.
Now, I turn that experience to helping taxpayers who have problems with the IRS. Whether your matter is civil or criminal, I can assist you.

Jan M Geht's Lawyer Endorsements
"Jan and I attended Michigan Law School together from 2000-03 and have remained friends since -- referring matters to each other whenever possible. Jan is both intelligent and diligent. What Jan may not tell you about himself is that he came to the U.S. as a teenager without knowing a word of English, taught himself our language, worked his way through high school and college, and then excelled at one of our nation's top law schools. He then went on to excel in two highly prestigious "white shoe" law firms, and as a government tax attorney -- all before moving to Traverse City to join his current firm. Without a doubt, Jan Geht is someone who is both capable and responsible enough to lead all kinds of labor matters."
"I highly endorse this lawyer. Jan is bright, responsive, reasoned, trusted and an invaluable asset to me and my clients."
"I heartily endorse Jan. He is a careful and thorough lawyer with excellent judgment."
"Mr. Geht maintains the highest ethical standards and is an expert in tax law and complex litigation. He is an asset to the local bar association and legal community."
