Attorney Providing Creative Solutions to Troubling IRS Liabilities for Over 22 Years in Moorestown, New Jersey

At the law firm of John Crayton, in Moorestown, New Jersey, my practice focuses on criminal and civil problems with the IRS. Many of my clients are referred to me by accountants and other attorneys.

I have more than 22 years of experience as an IRS litigation lawyer in New Jersey and the greater Philadelphia area. I previously worked as a special agent with the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS.

My tax work is very fact based, very nuts and bolts. I handle many bankruptcy chapter 7, 11 and 13 cases in which clients need tax relief. In some cases I can get rid of tax liabilities completely. My unusual specialty is called dischargeability of taxes in bankruptcy, and it is an option most people are not aware of.

My other tax clients are often people who have overwhelming personal or business debts. Some are small businesses with unpaid payroll taxes. I also represent people facing IRS audits or charges of tax evasion.

Most of my tax cases are settled without going to trial, but I routinely represent clients in federal district courts and before the US Tax Court.

My extensive knowledge and success with the IRS will serve you well. I know what needs to be done and can do it efficiently. I charge on an hourly basis at a rate that is both fair and reasonable. My standard retainer is in the $1,500 to $2,000 range.

When you need an experienced IRS litigation lawyer or bankruptcy attorney, call me to talk about how I can help you. The initial consultation is free.

My office is conveniently located in Moorestown, New Jersey to serve clients in Mercer, Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Counties. I also represent clients in southeastern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, Montgomery, Chester, Delaware and Bucks Counties.
