I am licensed in Arizona and Utah where I have almost exclusively practiced law as a tax attorney since 2006. In addition to working for the General Counsel at the Arizona Department of Revenue, I worked for over 12 years in Big 4 public accounting firms as a tax attorney where I helped lead their state and local tax controversy practices. I have represented clients with diverse business operations in nearly every state. I have an incredible depth of knowledge of Arizona and Utah's tax laws as I ran the state and local tax practices for PwC out of their Phoenix and Salt Lake City markets.
In addition to being a state and local tax attorney, I have also spent several years working in private practice as a tax attorney representing clients in the most difficult Federal tax controversy matters befor the IRS and in Federal Tax Court. Also, due to specializing in tax law during law school, I was pulled into PwC's federal tax practice where I provided significant federal tax consulting services for corporations and partnerships in addition to my state and local tax practice.
My law firm also has a deep bench and rich history of providing legal services as a tax law firm. We pride ourselves as being the law firm that other tax attorneys, estate planning attorneys, business attorneys, litigation attorneys, retired judges and experienced CPAs / EAs refer work to.

Beyond grateful for Spencer
Working with Spencer was the one of the few bright spot in what was one of the most difficult times in my life. While navigating our way through a tremendous amount of tax debt and closing our business, he was compassionate, informative and incredibly generous with his time. He was willing to answe...

Never try working on a tax debt alone.
Few things in life will cause as much panic as a letter from the IRS. What would you do if the IRS claimed that you owed them not just $10,000 or $25,000, but you owed more than $100,000? It gets much worse from there. The IRS will add penalties, fees, and interest on top of your debt each and every ...

Excellent tax lawyer
My previous company was a rapidly growing Software as a Service (SaaS) company and had presence in multiple states. At the time we had contacted Spencer and his team, the company's total revenue since inception exceeded $100 million, so the potential exposure was immense. Spencer and his team perform...
"I've had the pleasure of knowing Spencer for ten years now, having first met when we worked together at ADOR. He is intelligent, determined, knowledgeable, and professional. He's also a very friendly, nice guy and a great friend. He has my strongest endorsement."
"Spencer Evans is an attorney with a very high level of skills, experience, and most importantly, integrity. I highly recommend his services. Clients can expect that he will work tirelessly to problem solve on their behalf."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Evans has been my attorney and is currently representing me in a complex matter involving past due taxes, penalties and interest owed to the Internal Revenue Service. He has expertly pleaded my situation with the agents assigned to my case, who were unsympathetic in the beginning of the negotiations. I am certain that as a result of his persistent negotiations on my behalf, over time he has successfully been able to convince them that his arguments were correct, and that I was truly entitled to the result he was requesting in the Offer in Compromise which we had submitted to the IRS officials. He has achieved superior results for me. We should be soon competing the final pieces of the settlement Mr. Evans has reached with the IRS. I would wholeheartedly recommend Spencer Evans to my clients, friends, family and associates if they ever require the services of an elite and highly skilled Tax Attorney. Respectfully Submitted. Steven D. Hassing"
