We have represented clients in 49 states and numerous foreign countries and territories. We often represent out-of-state and multi-state businesses with their California tax residency and nexus matters. From our Sacramento office, we are less than 10 minutes away from the state tax agencies that handle California tax-related audits, appeals, settlements, and administrative hearings including the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) , Employment Development Department (EDD), Board of Equalization (BOE), California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), and the Office of Tax Appeals (OTA). As your representatives, we can easily appear before the tax authorities on your behalf. Some tax matters cannot be resolved without litigation. We represent clients in the U.S. Tax Court, the U.S. District Courts, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, U.S. appellate courts, and all trial and appellate courts of the State of California. Our attorneys are dedicated to helping resolve your tax matters.
