What federal practice means for you
One body of law
The Internal Revenue Code, the collection statutes, the offer program, the Tax Court - identical in all 50 states. The lawyer who knows them in Tampa knows them in Tacoma.
Representation by power of attorney
Form 2848 puts a lawyer between you and the IRS no matter where you live. Revenue officers, auditors, and Appeals all deal with counsel - by phone, fax, and mail, not in person.
Experience over geography
What moves your case is repetition: hundreds of offers filed, thousands of levies released, decades in front of the same agency. Pick the record, not the zip code.
