Trusted Tax Lawyer in Southern California Helping You Resolve IRS and State Tax Problems


If you’re facing IRS or California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) issues — such as back taxes, liens, garnishments, or unfiled returns — you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of individuals and business owners receive intimidating letters from tax agencies. But here’s the good news: with the right tax lawyer, you can protect your income, assets, and peace of mind.


At Rona Law Firm, we specialize in tax resolution and IRS representation. We help clients across the country and locally including Orange County, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego to stop collections, reduce tax debts, and get back on track financially.


What Does a Tax Lawyer Do?


A tax lawyer represents you before the IRS and state tax agencies. Unlike tax preparers or accountants, a tax attorney is trained to handle complex legal matters — especially when your financial future is on the line.


Here’s how a tax lawyer can help you:

  • Stop IRS and FTB collections immediately

  • Negotiate settlements such as Offers in Compromise (OIC)

  • Remove tax liens and levies

  • Set up payment plans that fit your budget

  • File back tax returns properly to avoid criminal exposure

  • Defend you in audits or tax court

  • Protect your business and personal assets


Why Hire a Tax Lawyer Instead of a CPA or Enrolled Agent?


While CPAs and EAs can help with tax filings, only a licensed tax attorney can provide legal representation and confidentiality under attorney-client privilege. That means everything you share is protected — a crucial advantage when dealing with IRS enforcement.

A skilled tax lawyer also understands the legal nuances of tax collection, bankruptcy, and settlement options. We evaluate your full situation — not just the numbers — to find the most strategic and affordable resolution.


Common Tax Problems We Solve


Our firm assists clients with:

  • IRS and FTB back taxes

  • Wage garnishments and bank levies

  • Unfiled or missing tax returns

  • Payroll tax and trust fund recovery penalties

  • Release of liens and levies before property sales


No matter how complicated your tax situation seems, there’s a solution — and we’ll help you find it.
