Successful Offers In Compromise

The lawyers at Weisberg and Kainen have represented numerous individuals who have received substantial benefit by filing with the IRS an Offer In Compromise. There is much misinformation about the relief available through the IRS's Offer In Compromise program and many people mistakenly believe that the IRS will automatically settle a liability for "pennies on the dollar".

In one of our most successful cases, a taxpayer owed $3,613,792.68. The IRS accepted an offer of only $5,000.00. Not every case is so successful, and depend upon the taxpayer's assets, liabilities, income, expenses and other facts and circumstances. View a copy of the Offer Acceptance Report.

Liechtenstein Tax Evasion Scandal

Weisberg and Kainen represents several U.S. taxpayers who are caught up in an international tax evasion scandal that began when the German foreign intelligence service paid for secret bank data that had been stolen by a former employee of LGT Bank in Liechtenstein. Germany shared this data with other interested tax authorities, leading to the launching of many investigations, including separate initiatives in the United States by the IRS and Senator Carl Levin, D-Mich. The lawyers at Weisberg and Kainen are helping navigate our clients through the IRS examination process as well as the investigation by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations in order to come into compliance with U.S. tax laws and avoid criminal prosecution.
