Top 5 Tax Lawyers in Houston

Atty. KD Mitchell and his team at Mitchell Tax Law are experts in providing legal tax advice to companies and individuals alike. 

As a lawyer who formerly worked for the IRS, Atty. Mitchell knows the tax system of the country like the back of his hand. While advising his clients, he breaks down complex tax cases so that ordinary people understand the legal concepts behind them.

According to clients, Atty. Mitchell is very responsive when it comes to questions about State tax laws. Even if their rates are expensive, the clients felt that every penny they spent for Atty. Mitchell’s advice is worth it.

In terms of the legal advice they provide, the law firm helps businesses reduce their taxes by educating them about deductibles like solar tax credits and charitable contributions.

We also like that they help ordinary people by providing written tax advice. This document helps the clients know their tax rights and what to avoid when dealing with the IRS.

Despite their expertise in helping people navigate tax codes, it’s quite difficult to book an appointment through their online site. One of their clients told us that it sometimes takes days before they receive a confirmation email from their site.

Still, we appreciate the attorneys at Mitchell Tax Law for being quick in answering calls. With this, the clients can easily reach them for clarifications.

Many clients praise Atty. Mansoor Ansari and Nexus Tax Defense for their help in representing them in court for tax cases.

We like the way that Atty. Ansari’s team prepares their clients for hearings. Before going to court, they first educate them about their case and the facts to make them more confident while facing the people from the IRS.

If possible, Atty Ansari finds possible ways for the client to avoid taking the case to the court. He would exhaust all possible legal remedies before resulting in aggressive court representation.

Remember that certain tax problems like debts may lead to the IRS suing you in a District Court or the Court of Federal Claims. To avoid property seizure and jail time you need to find a tax lawyer that provides legal representation to their clients

Going back, many clients are amazed at the legal insight provided by Atty. Ansari. He points out different ways one can deal with tax problems even without the help of a lawyer.

However, he tends to use complicated legal jargon without explaining these concepts in layman’s terms. He is also unavailable on certain days because he visits his other offices in Dallas and Georgia.

Despite that, clients may still get legal advice from Atty. Ansari through the articles and video blogs available on his website.

Even though Atty. Ryan Dove of Dove Law Firm, PLLC specializes more in bankruptcy law, he can still help clients who need help in paying back tax debts.

Before starting the consultation, we like how Atty. Dove assures his clients that tax debts are not death sentences. After that, he asks for the client’s revenue streams and the total amount that the client owes to the IRS.

With these details, Atty. Dove creates an action plan on how to pay the client’s tax debt. After this, he will submit an Offer In Compromise to the IRS detailing how the client will pay off the tax debt.

Besides that, he also explores appeal legal options that the client might use to dispute these tax debt claims like formal appeals to protest incorrect auditing.

It’s important to always consult tax lawyers regarding the IRS’ audits because there may be some mistakes in their calculations. Fact-checking these may save you a lot of money in cases the IRS sends you a wrong notice of payment.

However, this firm only offers IRS tax debt settlement services If you require services like court representation or divorce tax advice, we suggest looking for other law firms.

Still, it’s convenient that Atty. Ryan Dove offers video consultation to busy clients who don’t have the time to physically go to their office.

What we like about the law practice of Atty. Michael Saegert is his way of providing legal assistance for anything related to property taxes.

The primary way Atty. Saegert helps his clients by contesting the appraisal value of their property in the State’s tax assessment. 

Here, Atty. Saegert gathers relevant information that the property assessors might have missed during the assessment. With the help of the client, he compiles all shreds of evidence to strengthen your claim in lowering your property tax.

Then, the attorney files a notice of protest to the Harris County Appraisal District to dispute the client’s property tax. If you’re successful with the appeal, your property tax lessens.

Note that the current property tax rate in Houston is 0.533640 per $100 valuation. This means that a house valued at $1 million has an annual property tax of around $5,336.

It’s just unfortunate that Atty. Saegert isn’t accepting clients for face-to-face consultations. Instead, all of his appointments are done through online teleconferencing.

There are also some people complaining that they can’t reach the email and phone numbers of this law firm.

Nevertheless, Atty. Michael Saegert has a flat rate of 35% of the amount you saved through his services. We think this price is cheaper than most law firms charging more than $100 per hour.

Atty. John R. Strohmeyer of Strohmeyer Law PLLC offers estate and business planning services to clients. Although, he excels more in helping clients plan their taxes.

We’re amazed at how Atty. Strohmayer works with the client and their tax auditors when it comes to reducing the household’s tax liability. 

When meeting with the clients, the attorney asks them for relevant information like their occupation, their household income, and others. With this, Atty. Strohmayer lists all the possible tax strategies that the client can use like deferrals.

In addition, clients of this law firm also praise the lawyers for their straight-to-the-point legal remedies. During the consultation, the attorneys try their best to answer the clients’ legal questions in the most concise way possible.

While the law firm provides succinct counsel, they only have 2 lawyers on their team including Atty. Strohmeyer. Because of this, the law firm may not be able to handle many clients at the same time.

Also, their hourly rates are above the average rate in Houston so you may need to prepare your wallet if you need their services.

Still, it’s effortless to book an online meeting with Atty. John R. Strohmeyer and his law firm. Within the day, their staff sends out the link where you can talk to their lawyers.

Besides, their hotlines are also always available so you can call them in case you have an emergency tax problem.
