Why Refer Cases to The Ferraro Law Firm?
The tax attorneys at The Ferraro Law Firm have years of experience handling the very same types of transactions your clients have information on. Their years of experience will be put to work identifying potential underpayments and preparing the best possible submissions to the IRS. Our tax attorneys are also admitted to practice before the U.S. Tax Court and are capable of appealing your client's award determination. However, the best way to maximize your client’s chance of obtaining a tax whistleblower award is to put forth the highest quality submission and work with the IRS to develop the case. We can help you do that.
Synergies with Other Lawyers
We do not want to take your clients from you. We want to work with you to maximize the opportunities your clients are presented with as a result of the IRS Whistleblower Rewards program. For example, if you are an employment lawyer representing a client who has been wrongfully terminated, particularly persons working in the accounting or tax function of a company, that person may have information about their former employer’s tax issues. We can help you determine if that client could also have a valid claim to submit to the IRS as part of the whistleblower program. As another example, if you are a criminal attorney who represents a client involved with or who has information about a tax scheme, we can help you assess the viability of your client receiving a reward for such information. Alternatively, if you are any other kind of non-tax lawyer and come across a person with information about a tax underpayment, we can work out a referral arrangement as allowed by law.
