For more than three decades, Gregory McCauley has been a trusted advocate for clients facing civil and criminal tax challenges. As the founder of McCauley Law Offices in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, Gregory has built a national practice that represents individuals, families, professionals, and closely held businesses in every state. He is widely recognized for his unparalleled command of IRS collection procedure, examination practice, and the federal tax controversy process, and for his ability to translate that knowledge into outcomes that change the trajectory of his clients' financial lives.
Over the course of his career, Gregory has successfully navigated thousands of matters involving audits, liens, levies, wage garnishments, trust fund recovery penalties, payroll tax investigations, offers in compromise, installment agreements, innocent spouse claims, currently-not-collectible status, penalty abatement, and criminal tax exposure. He has worked face-to-face with hundreds of Revenue Officers, Revenue Agents, Appeals Officers, and IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agents, giving him a working knowledge of the Internal Revenue Manual and IRS internal practice that few outside attorneys can match.
Greg's approach is rooted in a simple conviction: taxpayers are entitled to aggressive, competent, ethical representation, and the IRS is far more willing to negotiate reasonable resolutions when the person across the table actually understands the rules. He negotiates directly with the IRS on every case he handles, leveraging decades of pattern recognition — knowing which Revenue Officers will accept a streamlined installment agreement, which examinations are likely to expand in scope, which collection alternatives the Service will actually approve, and which arguments lose credibility the moment they are raised. That experience is the difference between a generic resolution and a strategy built specifically for the client in front of him.
He is the author of TAXJAMS: Simple Solutions, a practical guide that demystifies IRS collection and examination procedure for taxpayers and small business owners, and is a frequent commentator on federal tax enforcement trends, IRS funding, and taxpayer rights. He has lectured to attorneys, accountants, and business groups on topics ranging from offers in compromise to criminal tax defense, and he serves on professional liability and judicial administration committees with the Pennsylvania Bar Association.
Greg's clients include physicians, dentists, contractors, restaurant owners, real estate investors, retirees, high-net-worth families, and small business owners across the country. Many come to him after another firm has stalled, missed deadlines, or simply collected fees without producing results. His commitment to every client is the same: a direct relationship with an experienced tax attorney, an honest assessment of the case, and a strategy designed to resolve the matter and restore peace of mind.
