Eminent New York Defense Attorney for Tax Fraud Cases
Not every lawyer will fight a monstrous and powerful government agency like the Internal Revenue Service or the New York State Department of Finance.
New York attorney Leon J. Greenspan will, though. He has more than 45 years' experience doing just that — defending individuals, business owners and tax accountants caught up in tax fraud investigations. AV-rated* attorney Greenspan is the founder of the father-son law firm of Greenspan & Greenspan, which helps clients throughout White Plains, New York City and in Rockland County.
A Case Study in Success: Mr. Greenspan recently represented one man who — with a group of two other people — was under IRS investigation after making some questionable investments. One of the three men pled guilty, and the second man was convicted at trial. Mr. Greenspan only represented one of the three — and won him an acquittal. Our client was able to walk away with no criminal record.

- Failure to file tax returns (either Form 1120, Form 1120-S, Form 1065, or Form 941)

- Tax evasion
- Failure to pay taxes owed
- Making false statements on a return

If You Are in Serious Trouble with the IRS, Call an Attorney
Many people under IRS investigation make the mistake of contacting their accountant, rather than a tax lawyer. Unlike your conversations with an accountant, your discussions with an attorney are confidential and may not be disclosed to the IRS or Criminal Investigations Division.
Attorney Leon J. Greenspan is admitted to practice law in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida and Pennsylvania. Although most of his clients come from one of those states, he is admissible in every tax court in the country and is occasionally called upon for tax advice or representation by individuals in other states.
Greenspan & Greenspan maintains offices in White Plains, New York, and in Rockland County. To make an appointment in person or by telephone, call us toll free at 800-553-6009 or send an e-mail for a prompt response.
