Tax & White-Collar
Criminal Defense

An individual who is charged with a white collar crime risks losing everything
— freedom, financial security, career and reputation.

Even if ultimately found innocent, an investigation can permanently damage the defendant’s reputation and livelihood. Therefore, the target of a criminal investigation should retain legal counsel immediately, before charges are filed. Brown, PC can often negotiate a non-prosecution agreement that allows the individual to correct mistakes and avoid prosecution.

Tax Litigation

Our tax clients come to us from all regions of the United States and across the globe.

We handle a broad range of tax matters including criminal tax investigations and prosecutions; civil tax litigation in the U.S. Tax Court, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and U.S. District Courts; IRS audits and appeals; IRS collection matters; International Tax and Offshore Compliance cases; and state and local tax disputes.

We are in high demand as expert witnesses and are often called upon to represent licensed tax professionals including attorneys and CPAs when they are targeted by the IRS or Department of Justice. We have a great deal of experience in IRS Global High Net North Industry (GHWIG) cases and are particularly adept at achieving successful outcomes in complex, high stakes, and contentious tax disputes.

The Brown, PC
Client Experience

As a boutique firm, Brown, PC provides world-class representation and personalized attention to the limited number of businesses and individuals we work with.

Being involved in a large tax dispute or targeted in a white collar criminal investigation can be extremely stressful, and we do everything we can to minimize that stress. We communicate. Our professionals and paralegals take client calls whenever possible, and when they cannot, calls are returned and emails are responded to promptly. When circumstances require it, our firm’s founder, Lawrence Brown, is available to clients during evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Our clients are extremely successful, and most are in high demand. When we need their input, we make sure that we do not waste their time. Similarly, while we will do anything and everything within ethical boundaries to achieve our client objectives, we are surgically precise and efficient with the use of our time and consequently our client funds.
