Navigating a complex legal challenge can be daunting, but having David by my side transformed the experience into one of confidence and clarity. His unparalleled professionalism and deep mastery of the law were evident from our first meeting. David's strategic acumen and unwavering firmness when engaging with prosecutors and government entities showcased his commitment to justice and his clients' best interests. Yet, beyond his formidable legal prowess, it was his genuine kindness and empathetic approach that truly set him apart. He consistently ensured I felt understood, supported, and secure throughout the entire process. In moments of uncertainty, Mr. Garvin provided not just legal guidance but also personal reassurance, making a challenging journey significantly more manageable. His dedication to his clients is both commendable and deeply appreciated. For anyone seeking a defense attorney who embodies both exceptional legal expertise and heartfelt compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend David M. Garvin. His representation is not just about winning cases; it's about restoring peace of mind and trust in the legal system.

I have no words to express how wonderful David, Arlene and the whole team are! David is a true professional and a brilliant attorney we could never have gone up against the IRS without them. If you have a problem with the IRS you can count on David to help you in anyway he can. Not a year goes by that I don't think of him and how everything could have been different if he had not taken our case. David Garvin is the best tax attorney you can hire.

David Garvin is an excellent tax attorney with brilliant strategies that work. If you need a serious tax professional don’t hesitate to call him even if you think no one can help. Mr. Garvin saved me from a serious tax issue in California. I highly recommend his firm in any criminal tax case. If you don’t call David Garvin you are not in the best hands.

David, Alexandra, Arlene and the rest of the team at this firm are who you want in your corner when there’s a knock on your door or a letter in your mailbox from any government agency. David’s keen awareness of all matters IRS and decades of experience allowed me to sleep peacefully through a 4-year battle. The added plus is the fact he answers all my calls and is excellent at maintaining communication. In the short moments when he was unavailable, his team was more than capable of keeping the wheels turning. David is honest & transparent in his explanation of legal scenarios and the outcomes of the possible solutions. This firm treated me like family and always gave me the feeling of being put 1st and priority #1. I can’t thank you all enough and will forever show my gratitude.

No. While most tax attorneys have a great deal of knowledge regarding tax matters, most tax lawyers have little to no experience with criminal cases. The overwhelming majority of tax attorneys handle civil issues such as tax planning, tax return preparation, civil tax appeal meetings and tax collection.
These lawyers rarely go to federal court and generally have virtually no experience conducting a criminal trial of any kind. A criminal tax attorney is a lawyer that concentrates his law practice on defending taxpayers from charges of criminal tax violations. Actual criminal tax lawyers have a great deal of knowledge regarding tax laws and, simultaneously, have experience conducting criminal trials before a judge and jury. Unfortunately, due to a large number of lawyers, the internet reflects more and more criminal lawyers holding themselves out to be criminal tax lawyers despite a lack of knowledge of tax law. Also, more and more tax lawyers are holding themselves out to be criminal tax lawyers when they have little to no experience with conducting a federal criminal jury trial.
There are a lot of competent criminal attorneys that practice in federal court. These lawyers usually have experience conducting criminal trials. However, most criminal lawyers have no knowledge whatsoever about income tax laws and the complex rules that are contained in the Internal Revenue Code and the related regulations.
A criminal tax attorney is a lawyer that has extensive knowledge of the tax laws as well as extensive experience conducting criminal cases, including criminal jury trials. The combination of both tax and criminal defense experience provides the criminal tax attorney a distinct advantage in defending criminal tax cases as opposed to the average criminal lawyer without any training or experience in the tax laws.
No. The majority of tax lawyers only handle civil tax matters. These matters may include tax planning, tax audits, tax appeals, civil tax controversies and tax collection work. The United States Tax Court does not handle criminal tax cases. Further, tax cases held before the United States Tax Court do not have a jury and are limited to civil tax controversies.
Perhaps the one goal that most all criminal tax defendants seek to achieve is an acquittal of all charges. During the process of selecting a criminal tax attorney the defendant should ask the lawyer for the name of each tax case that lawyer has tried before a jury on behalf of a taxpayer and the outcome of the case. The taxpayer should ask for the case numbers of each case. The case number can be searched by using PACER.
