IRS Appeals Court

I had filed an appeal in the IRS Tax Court that I no longer needed to pursue. I had searched the internet over and over trying to find out what the process was for closing my appeal. I couldn't find a clear answer. Attorney Thomas Hansen quickly and precisely answered my question and helped ease my w...orries. I now know what the process is, and I can move forward with confidence to resolve this issue. I greatly appreciate his expertise and help!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
