Tax Evasion Attorneys
Representing Clients Nationwide
At The Cochran Firm, our tax evasion attorneys are dedicated to fighting for the rights of clients who have been charged with all white collar crimes including tax evasion.
Tax Evasion Defined
The fraudulent and intentional avoidance of paying taxes on an individual's or firm's income is known as tax evasion. This may include total or partial tax payments by that individual or firm. Charges of tax evasion may involve accusations of:
- Exaggerating deductions
- Exaggerating exemptions
- Underreporting income
- Questionable tax shelter practices
Some methods you may be accused of using for tax evasion may include placing assets into another person or firm's name, keeping two different sets of books, using false invoices, and dealing only in cash.
Cochran Firm Criminal Defense Attorneys understand that a tax evasion accusation is extremely serious. Not only can a charge of tax evasion result in stiff federal fines and penalties including jail time, it can ruin a well-deserved reputation for honesty and integrity.
Our tax evasion defense attorneys have a track record of successfully defending our clients in both federal and state courts. Cochran Firm Criminal Defense Attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case and do everything in our power to establish your innocence, eliminate the charges against you and help you recover your lost reputation.

- The accused must have performed an action with the intent to conceal funds or mislead the government.
