Gregory McCauley Jr. is an experienced tax attorney who has personally represented more than 1,000 clients in matters ranging from civil tax controversy and IRS examinations to criminal tax defense, U.S. Tax Court litigation, and complex business disputes. His practice is built on a foundation his clients describe as rare in the tax resolution industry: genuine attention to detail, direct attorney access, and a willingness to litigate when the IRS refuses to be reasonable.
Greg's day-to-day work spans the full spectrum of federal tax practice. He represents individuals and businesses in IRS audits at the examination and appeals levels, defends taxpayers under criminal investigation by IRS-CI, files and tries cases in the United States Tax Court, negotiates offers in compromise and installment agreements with Revenue Officers nationwide, pursues penalty abatement and innocent spouse relief, and advises business owners on payroll tax compliance, trust fund recovery penalty exposure, and entity structuring to prevent future controversy.
He trained at the Villanova Law Clinic for Law and Entrepreneurship, where he advised an internet startup, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and a public corporation on formation, securities, governance, and tax matters — experience that shapes how he counsels closely held businesses today. He also served as a summer clerk for Resident Judge Witham of the Delaware Superior Court and as a summer associate at a corporate litigation firm in Wilmington, Delaware, giving him a courtroom-tested perspective on how disputes actually unfold. He is admitted in Delaware, New Jersey, the United States Tax Court, and the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and serves on the Delaware State Bar Association Taxation Section.
Greg is known for his persistence, integrity, and courage of conviction. He has been quoted in the Delaware Valley Journal on IRS enforcement and funding policy, and his commentary on what taxpayers should do when the IRS knocks has been featured in Suburban Life Magazine. He approaches every engagement with the same standard: take the time to understand the client as a person, explain the law in plain English, set realistic expectations, and execute relentlessly until the matter is resolved.
Clients turn to Gregory when the stakes are high — a six-figure assessment, a criminal investigation, a Tax Court petition with a filing deadline measured in days, or a business whose payroll tax liability threatens its survival. His commitment in each case is the same: thoughtful strategy, honest counsel, and the courage to take a case to litigation when settlement is not in the client's best interest.
