Dealing with Tax Fraud Charges? You Need an Experienced Fort Lauderdale Tax Fraud Attorney

Getting accused of tax fraud can be an incredibly stressful and frightening experience. The stakes are high, with charges carrying potential prison time and steep financial penalties. That’s why having an experienced tax fraud defense attorney on your side is so important.

In Fort Lauderdale, attorney Michael B. Cohen has extensive experience representing clients facing tax fraud investigations and charges. He understands how to build an effective defense to fight the government’s accusations against you.

An Empathetic Ally During a Difficult Time

Facing criminal tax charges turns your world upside down. You feel anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure of what the future holds. Attorney Cohen provides clients the empathetic guidance they need during this difficult period.

“I know folks facing tax charges have a lot on their plate. My job is to listen to their story, understand their situation, and figure out the best way forward,” Cohen says. “I don’t judge clients for the circumstances that led them here. I’m on their side, ready to fight the government’s allegations.”

Navigating Complex Tax Laws

Tax codes comprise thousands of pages of complex laws and regulations. When the IRS accuses you of fraud or tax evasion, having an attorney well-versed in these intricacies is critical.

Attorney Cohen has spent years immersed in tax law. He stays on top of the latest IRS rules, auditing procedures, and enforcement tactics. This expertise allows him to spot potential issues in the government’s case, including violations of your rights.

“The IRS and prosecutors often use aggressive tactics hoping people incriminate themselves. But when you know your rights, you can avoid their traps,” Cohen explains.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.

Fighting Back Against Abusive IRS Tactics

Overzealous IRS agents sometimes overstep their bounds during audits and investigations. But many people don’t realize the tactics used against them violate their rights.

Attorney Cohen stands up to abusive IRS behavior by filing motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence. He also leverages prosecutorial misconduct to get charges dismissed when warranted.

“I’ve seen IRS agents misrepresent laws to intimidate people into settling cases. But their scare tactics don’t work on me,” says Cohen.

Avoiding the Most Serious Penalties

The punishments for tax fraud convictions can be severe. But an experienced defense lawyer can often negotiate plea agreements with lesser penalties.

“My past success negotiating with prosecutors means most clients avoid the worst outcomes” Cohen explains. “I’ve kept many folks out of prison who likely would have served time without my help.”

Even if convicted, Cohen’s guidance can help clients receive probation or home confinement instead of incarceration.

You Have the Right to Fight Back – Don’t Go It Alone

The government wields tremendous power in tax fraud prosecutions. So defending yourself rarely ends favorably.

Attorney Cohen levels the playing field by aggressively contesting allegations and exposing flaws in the IRS’s position. Don’t assume you have no recourse against tax charges. Get an experienced lawyer fighting for you.

“I encourage anyone dealing with tax fraud accusations to exercise their rights. Let me help you develop the best defense,” urges Cohen.

Trust an Attorney Familiar with Local Courts and Prosecutors

Federal tax cases proceed through the court system differently than typical criminal prosecutions. The process has unique intricacies requiring specialized knowledge.

Attorney Cohen’s extensive experience in South Florida courts provides key insights into the procedures, personalities, and tendencies of judges and prosecutors. This allows him to craft defense strategies maximizing the chances of success.

A Track Record of Positive Results

While every tax case differs, attorney Cohen has a proven history of achieving favorable outcomes for clients facing fraud allegations. These results speak to his skills defending against complex IRS charges.

• Negotiated probation instead of prison for a client facing 4 years incarceration
• Got tax evasion charges dismissed pre-trial due to 4th Amendment violations
• Secured sentence of house arrest rather than 3 years imprisonment

“My record shows what I can accomplish when the government comes after folks for tax issues. Let me go to work defending you or your business,” says Cohen.
