The best option for most people often relies on word of mouth. Ask your friends and family members if they have any experience with tax attorneys and who they recommend.
Do not be afraid to use Google or another search engine to search for tax attorneys on your own. Be mindful of reviews the attorney has received and how well they are rated.
Some of the specific areas that you should factor into your choice of a tax attorney should include:
How long the attorney has been in practice
Whether their firm handles cases similar to yours
If they are willing to present you with a plan of action for your case
Whether the attorney is a member of a professional legal association
Also, be sure to question how the tax attorney will charge you, determining whether they charge an hourly fee or a flat rate.
When you speak to a tax attorney, be sure to ask them for references.
