Tax Law

Naples, Fort Myers & Miami Tax Attorney Ari Good

 

Careful tax planning should be at the center of your business and personal affairs.  I take pleasure in helping my clients break through the complexities of the tax law, whether you are buying or selling business property, forming new businesses or expanding existing businesses.

I also defend clients facing IRS or Florida Department of Revenue audits, with specific experience in defending Florida sales tax and Florida use tax audits:

  • Do You Truly Know The Rules? Even the most successful business people may not know their legal rights and options under the tax code.
  • Can Your CPA Help You In An Audit?  While your accountant or CPA will be an invaluable ally in any audit, a tax attorney can make a critical difference in whether you face an assessment, interest and penalties.  As a tax attorney my job is to think strategically and act aggressively on your behalf.  Unlike an accountant, I can also take your case to Tax Court.
  • Should I Wait Before Acting?  Knowing your rights before an audit will can protect you from costly changes to your business. Select a tax attorney with experience defending business people in industries from aviation to construction to hospitality.
