My practice is focused on federal tax litigation. I help clients resolve all kinds of disputes with the IRS, including audits, proposed deficiencies, penalty abatement, refund claims, unfiled returns, employment tax and trust fund disputes, and collection issues. I have been representing clients before the IRS since 1999 and I know the way the IRS works and how to best approach a problem to get it resolved quickly and efficiently.

Our company hired her to fight the Texas Workforce Commission. They had tried to say that our subcontractors were employees. Needless to say after she presented the case the review board reversed the TWC decision. She is an excellent attorney, worked very diligently and won the case for us.

Ms. Ellis settled a long time dispute we were having with the IRS. She kept in touch every step of the way. She negotiated a $24,000 IRS debt down to $250! I think that fact alone is an accurate evaluation of her ability to help with any tax problem.
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"Ms. Ellis has provided insightful and helpful answers to tax questions on Avvo, which demonstrate her vast experience and knowledge in the area of federal taxation. I highly recommend this attorney."
