Harris Tax Law Overview
Welcome to www.HarrisTaxLaw.com, the home site for Alexander Harris LLC. Our law firm is a Chicago-based national Tax Defense firm representing individuals and small businesses in tax resolution and controversy matters across 48 states.
Our services begin with a free consultation and intake interview. At the end of the interview, a prospective client is given a written client Engagement Agreement and Plan that defines the scope of the representation and itemizes the investigative tasks to be taken. Additionally, clients authorize our attorneys to obtain further background information directly from the IRS through a signed Power of Attorney. The Power of Attorney allows us access to the same data the IRS is using in its actions against the client. When the Investigation is completed, a written Investigation Report and all supporting work and analysis is provided to the client and all options are explained so the client can make a highly informed decision about how to proceed with their case.
In this way, both the attorney and the client are making the most educated decision about how to defend the client, resolve the client’s tax problems and how and whether to proceed with further representation and defense
Alexander Harris LLC works on a “flat-fee” basis for all their Tax Defense work, typically charging a smaller fee during an Investigation process and breaking up the Defense (Resolution and Controversy) fees into payments that fit the client’s situation. We are acutely aware of the financial challenges that our clients are facing and our fee structures are designed to help our clients get the legal help they need without the additional fear of unpredictable and unexpected costs.

Testimonials
When you have a large tax burden and the IRS has put a lien on you it can be very intimidating and stressful. You start to receive countless letters from so called tax experts (junk mail) and it can be overwhelming trying to determine what to do or who to call. That is where we found ourselves when we received notice of a IRS tax lien. When we contacted Alex Harris he made us feel at ease. Alex was extremely thorough explaining our options and the best course of action based on our specific situation. We were set up with Beth and she was truly a pleasure to work with. She helped us every step of the way and was always there to answer any questions. They able to erase our tax debt and we are forever thankful to Alex and Beth.
