Income Tax or Sales Tax Evasion

Experienced criminal defense attorney N. Richard Wool has notable experience in state sales tax cases. He has represented many owners of gas stations, convenience stores and other businesses investigated by the NYS Department of Taxation or the IRS. In some cases, the clients hadn't filed taxes for years or only paid half of the sales taxes owed. In other cases, authorities accused station owners and gas wholesalers of illegally importing gasoline from neighboring jurisdictions without paying New York taxes.
Our goal is stop these cases while they are still civil matters, by arranging to "come in from the cold" to file returns and pay tax arrears. We can often work out installment plans and negotiate penalties. If authorities have filed criminal charges, we will work to convince prosecutors that there was no criminal intent to defraud the government. We will argue any mitigating factors and we will defend you at trial if necessary to prevent a devastating felony conviction.
