There
are many people who find themselves with tax problems and are unsure about how
to find the right professional tax lawyer Toronto. Many people do not
know what questions they need to ask in order to be sure that they have a
comfortable time in dealing with a situation which is
really uncomfortable. Here are a few things which you should consider when you
are looking for a tax lawyer.
Make sure that
they are lawyers
Unfortunately,
there are a few companies which lie to the clients and say that they have tax
law lawyers on staff which will help you to fix all your problems. The fact is,
they don’t have any. They have no licensed tax lawyers on board. Many of the
tax resolution companies have the knowledge which is required to complete and
submit all the basic forms to the IRS. But, you should be sure that they have
the legal knowledge to determine if the form will help or hurt your case. If a
company says that they have licensed HST tax lawyer on staff, ask their name
and bar number. This will help you in searching for them. Also, make sure that
the state licensing authority agrees that the person is a licensed attorney and
that their contact information matches with the company they claim to work
with. If you are not able to verify it, then you should not hire them.
Watch out for any
scams and don’t fall for them
The
world is full of scams and scam artists and the tax industry is no exception.
If a particular company is promising you of specific results when you are in a
conversation with them, you should not hire them. If a company promises that
the IRS will do something, they have no intention of helping you at all. They
are just looking to get your money and will not help you in any manner.
Check for any
complaints
Check
the review sites on which people have reviewed for the tax lawyer. If there are
many disgruntled past clients complaining about their experiences and the
services provided by the lawyer, it is not a good idea to work with them. You
should also search their name to see if they are involved in any type of
controversies. If the person is a licensed CPA or attorney, you can check with
the licensing authority if there are any complaints or professional discipline
records.
Make sure that
you trust them
You
don’t have to invite them to your family picnic, but it needs to be someone
that you feel comfortable talking to. You will have to share things with the
person and there can be really sensitive issues which you need to work on with
them. There can be any of the life details including the financial and other
records along with any of the medical issues. So, you need to make sure that
the one whom you decide to work with is someone with whom you feel really
comfortable. If you don’t have a feeling that you can be honest with them, they
might not be the right person for you to work with.
