Attorneys and CPAs Regarding Offshore Tax Noncompliance

At the request of the target audience, I have developed a list of attorneys and CPAs who represent clients with respect to offshore matters (including compliance with tax and FBAR requirements for foreign financial assets and the IRS's voluntary disclosure programs).  The following attorneys AND CPAs have indicated a willingness to serve clients by email and telephone. I recommend them also for in-office visits.  I present the attorneys first and then, toward the bottom of the page list the CPAs.  They are presented in alphabetical order. I recommend you look at their websites.  The order of listing is (1) by firm name of (2) if no firm name is listed, by name.  Please note that where multiple attorneys or CPAs are with a firm, they are all listed with that firm.

Caveat: This list is generally quite old. Some of the contact information may be quite old. In the case of recent additions to the list (indicated in red), the names and contact information should be good.
