Avoid the Stress & Anxiety of A Tax Audit

With over 29 years of legal experience as well as an advanced tax degree, Paul Alvestad is uniquely positioned to help business and individual clients through the auditing process and tax appeals, negotiating with the IRS or state, and helping protect his client's rights.

As an experienced tax attorney, Paul Alvestad can analyze your personal or business financial records to determine where tax violations may have occurred. He will communicate with the IRS or state revenue service doing the audit to address their concerns, and negotiate with the revenue service to reach a settlement, if necessary.
