Theodore L. Craft, Esq., LLM,
Attorney at Law & Tax Counsel
Established in 1985, the tax law practice of Theodore L. Craft has consistently delivered qualitative representation advantages to tax clients throughout the New England area. Tax law is our only business. Because we concentrate solely on tax issues and the procedural complexities of Internal Revenue Service tax controversies at all levels, and because of our unique experience in criminal tax investigation and defense, we offer clients a distinct advantage in tax matters.
The point of difference between our firm and others is one of qualification. Quite simply, we have been mostly everywhere in tax controversies and we know the ground. And while our effectiveness in the achievement of the client's goal to bring a controversy to a favorable result depends greatly upon the facts and applicable law, legal advocacy is not just about facts and law. It matters greatly to us who you are, how you got to where you are in a tax controversy, and what you expect. We can describe your transaction or set of facts, but we can also tell your story in the context of our legal advocacy on your behalf. More often than one might imagine, the winning argument is as much about how you or your enterprise are perceived in the mind of your adversary as it is about how "applicable" tax law is applied to your facts. And because we have developed our practical knowledge to a depth that equals or exceeds that of many multiple specialty law firms who hold themselves out to be tax lawyers, even the most sophisticated analysis, or sense of the nature of a case brought to us, is not beyond our ability to carry out or comprehend.
In a tax controversy, a client may be involved in a trust fund responsibility situation relating to his corporation or be under criminal investigation. Whether a case, in other words, is brought to us in a civil or a criminal context, the client seeks the approach offering the least risk that is also most beneficial. In the final analysis, our mission is effective advocacy for the greatest return offering the least risk. Our law practice theme is tax risk management.
Our principal Theodore L. Craft has 13 years of federal government criminal and civil tax experience in:
- High-level tax policy making and management of tax litigation in the Internal Revenue Service Office of Chief Counsel
- Development of tax law positions in national and internation tax litigation by the Department of Justice, Tax Division
- Litigation in the United States Tax Court and prosecutorial responsibility in federal tax crimes for the IRS
The firm brings the best and most current legal practices to bear upon tax issues. We are selective in the clients we represent.
Through participation in American, Massachusetts, and Boston Bar Associations’ Tax and Litigation Committees work, as well as by maintaining working relationships with federal government tax officials and lawyers, our firm maintains a reputation for high-quality representation and results. Theodore L. Craft has served as co-counsel for tax clients with some of the top law firms in the country and is regularly sought out for referral of client tax matters by well-respected law firms and certified public accounting firms for both direct or co-representation of tax clients.
The firm will bring together the best team of experts to achieve your goals. Call Theodore L. Craft at 781-665-6872 to qualify your concerns.
