Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Freeman

Law Firm Overview

At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Freeman, we provide top-shelf service. You deserve a team focused on your problem . For example, your team might include a former IRS agent, an accountant, or a lawyer with particular experience related to your legal matter. Our tax law firm will offer you the team approach of a big firm with the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of a small firm.

• Initial consultation: Tax problems can be intimidating. A letter from the IRS or from the State of Michigan tax authorities can produce high emotions. In your initial consultation with tax lawyer Jeffrey S. Freeman, we will listen to how this situation evolved, ask probing questions, and seek ways to mitigate your exposure. This consultation will help you determine how comfortable you are with our law firm and our ability to represent you.
• Fee agreement: Every client signs a fee agreement that details the services we will provide you and describes our billing policies and procedures. We can offer flexible fee arrangements and, unlike most law firms, we can bill on a flat (fixed) fee basis. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, and American Express.
• Deadlines and waiting: Your legal case will probably involve a lot of deadlines set by the government agency involved. Your tax lawyer will need your cooperation in providing information in a timely, complete, accurate manner. Failure to meet deadlines can harm your case. Tax problems are usually complex. While you and your tax attorney will rush to meet deadlines, the IRS or State Treasury may not respond right away. You can be sure, however, that your legal team will monitor progress and keep you informed.
• Your legal team and case responsibility: While attorney Jeffrey Freeman will be handling the daily activities of your case, you will likely be contacted throughout our representation by other members of your case team. A former IRS agent, an accountant, a paralegal, or another team member may need more information from you. You may always ask to speak directly with your attorney, Mr. Freeman, at any time.
• Our representation: As your representatives, we will speak for you to the IRS agents or state tax agents. You don't need to worry about saying the wrong thing or figuring out how to answer their questions. You can rely on your tax attorney to protect your rights and interests .
