IRS audit defense, Tax Court litigation, and tax controversy representation in Marietta, Georgia. Led by William Pereira, a former PricewaterhouseCoopers tax attorney with an LLM in Taxation.
Marietta is the county seat of Cobb County and the location of our office. The case volume runs across the I-75 corridor, the Cobb Parkway (US-41) commercial strip, and the residential neighborhoods radiating from Marietta Square. Cobb County litigation carries a distinct local rhythm; our proximity to the courthouse means we know the intake staff and calendar clerks by name.
Tax controversy is one of the most technical areas of legal practice. The Internal Revenue Code is more than 7,000 pages. The Treasury Regulations are several times longer. Most of the work in tax controversy is careful reading of those documents, supported by Tax Court case law and IRS revenue procedures.
William Pereira’s training at PricewaterhouseCoopers and his LLM in Taxation produced exactly that kind of disciplined technical reading. The same depth of analysis the firm represents to corporate clients in PwC’s Washington National Tax Services practice is what Mariettaclients now access at Pereira & Associates’ small-firm pricing.
Yes. William Pereira represents Marietta clients in IRS examinations, Tax Court petitions, collection due process hearings, offers in compromise, innocent spouse relief, and Trust Fund Recovery Penalty defense. Many Cobb County clients are also represented in Georgia Department of Revenue matters.
William trained at PricewaterhouseCoopers and holds an LLM in Taxation. Most attorneys who handle tax controversy do not have Big Four tax-attorney training; the analytical depth that PwC and an LLM produce is uncommon in the local-firm market. The result is technical reading of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulations that closely matches what IRS senior counsel produces on the other side.
Tax controversy matters are typically billed hourly or on a flat fee depending on the engagement type. The initial consultation is free and confidential. Many cases. Particularly Trust Fund Recovery Penalty defenses, Offer in Compromise submissions, and collection due process hearings. Pay for representation through reduced tax liability several times over.
Most IRS notices specify a response window of 30, 60, or 90 days. The 90-day Notice of Deficiency in particular is a hard statutory deadline under IRC § 6213. Acting in the first 7, 10 days. Even just to acknowledge receipt and engage a tax attorney. Preserves your full range of options. Acting in the final 7 days of a window narrows the strategic choices available.
One call. No fee unless we recover. Atlanta and the entire metro perimeter.
