We Fight to Reduce or Eliminate Tax Fraud,

Going head to head with the IRS Criminal Investigation Division and U.S. Attorneys' offices, we fight to reduce or eliminate criminal charges against our clients discreetly – without prolonged, costly litigation or embarrassing publicity.

Jared J. Scharf Defends His Clients as a Criminal Tax Lawyer for 25 Years

Our strength and record of success is the direct result of Jared J. Scharf’s 25 years defending clients as a criminal tax lawyer, and seven years as a prosecuting trial attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice Tax Division.

• 62% of our cases resulted in plea agreements with the U.S. Attorney that include no jail time for our clients.


• In 26% of our criminal cases, we persuaded the IRS not to seek prosecution authorization from the Department of Justice.


• In 2 cases, we persuaded the court to dismiss indictments without trial.


• In civil tax refund, deficiency, and forfeiture cases, we won or settled for less than 10% of the total taxes and penalties the IRS claimed our clients owed.

We have tried criminal tax cases involving every method of proof and every criminal tax statute.

We are experienced in RICO, money laundering, currency structuring, mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, securities fraud, and conspiracy prosecutions and investigations.

And in many cases, we’re able to persuade the court to order the plaintiff to reimburse our clients for legal fees and expenses.
