Our Process

From your first call to a resolved IRS case — in four steps.

Tax resolution doesn't have to be a mystery. Here's exactly what happens when you hire McCauley Law Offices — who you talk to, what we file, and how the IRS hears from us instead of you.

01

Free, confidential consultation

Call us or submit the form. An experienced tax attorney — not a salesperson — reviews every IRS notice or letter you have received, the deadlines running against you right now, and what's actually at stake. The attorney–client privilege attaches from the first call. No charge, no obligation, no script.

  • Same-day callback in most cases
  • Honest read on your case — including when we are not the right firm
  • Clear, written fee estimate before you engage us
02

Investigation and IRS transcripts

The moment you engage the firm we file IRS Form 2848 (Power of Attorney). The IRS stops contacting you and starts contacting us. We pull your full IRS account transcripts, wage and income transcripts, and return transcripts so we know exactly what the IRS sees — assessments, balances, statute dates, prior collection history, the works.

  • Form 2848 typically filed within 24 hours
  • Active garnishments and levies addressed first
  • Full transcript pull and statute analysis
03

Strategy and negotiation

We build the resolution strategy that actually fits your facts — Offer in Compromise, installment agreement, currently-not-collectible status, penalty abatement, audit defense, TFRP defense, innocent spouse relief, or Appeals. Then we negotiate directly with the Revenue Officer, Revenue Agent, or Appeals Officer on your behalf, in writing and on the record.

  • All IRS communication runs through us
  • Direct attorney access — not a paralegal handoff
  • Status updates whenever something material happens
04

Resolution and forward compliance

We close the case, document the resolution in writing, and confirm the IRS has posted the result on your account. Then we put a forward-compliance plan in place — quarterly estimates, payroll deposit cadence, return filing reminders — so the same problem does not return.

  • Written closing memo with the IRS posting confirmation
  • Forward-compliance calendar
  • Lifetime door — we are here if the next notice arrives

Honest read on your case, attorney–client privilege from the first call, and a clear fee estimate before you commit to anything.
