Tax Fraud Defense

Protecting Your Rights When the IRS Alleges Fraud

Tax fraud allegations are far more serious than a standard audit — they can carry criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, in addition to civil consequences. If the IRS’s Criminal Investigation division has contacted you, or an audit has taken a turn toward fraud allegations, the decisions you make early can significantly affect the outcome.

Mitchell St. Louis, P.A. brings a rare advantage to these cases: our team includes a former IRS-CI Special Agent and IRS Office of Chief Counsel attorney who understands exactly how the IRS builds a fraud case, from both the investigative and legal sides.

What we handle:

Representation during IRS Criminal Investigation inquiries
Defense against civil fraud penalties
Responding to audits that have escalated toward fraud allegations
Protecting your rights during interviews and document requests
Coordinating with criminal defense counsel when charges are involved

Why it matters:

Statements made or documents provided early in a fraud inquiry can be used against you later, and the line between a civil penalty and a criminal referral can turn on how the case is handled from the start. Experienced representation from the outset is critical.
