Knowledgeable IRS Litigation, Bankruptcy and Criminal Tax Lawyer
I'm John R. Crayton, Attorney at Law, and at my law firm I focus on helping clients in the Greater Philadelphia area with difficult Internal Revenue Service (IRS) problems. I also represent individuals and small businesses with general financial problems through representation in the bankruptcy process.
I have more than 25 years of experience in New Jersey as an IRS litigation lawyer. I am a former special agent with the IRS, and since leaving the IRS I have provided legal assistance to hundreds of people in the Greater Philadelphia area who have needed professional help in dealing with the IRS.
IRS Litigation
My tax clients are individuals with various types of IRS problems. These include audit assessments, innocent spouse claims, large tax bills they cannot ever begin to pay in full, corporate officer assessments for the nonpayment of wage taxes and other tax issues. Many of these clients are referred to me by accountants and other attorneys because of my knowledge and experience in IRS litigation.
I negotiate directly with the IRS on behalf of my clients. When necessary, I represent my clients by bringing and defending actions with the IRS in United States Tax Court, the U.S. District Courts in New Jersey and the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts in Camden, Trenton, and Philadelphia.
IRS Criminal Investigations
For many people, their first hint that they have violated U.S. tax laws is when they receive a knock on the door from IRS officials. Don't speak to investigators until you have contacted an attorney. IRS criminal investigations can be lengthy and highly disruptive to your life and your business. As an experienced New Jersey tax evasion lawyer, I can help you get to the other side of these serious issues.
Bankruptcy
I have filed bankruptcy petitions for thousands of honest but unfortunate debtors. I am a firm believer in the fresh start, which is the purpose of our bankruptcy laws. With a new, less-friendly bankruptcy statute it becomes even more important to hire an experienced bankruptcy attorney.
In many of my bankruptcy cases my clients receive a discharge of burdensome tax debts. I know how and when to deal with federal and state tax debts in the bankruptcy process.
