State and Local Tax Attorneys

Successfully resolving tax disputes
on behalf of taxpayers

California’s tax agencies are powerful, aggressive, and intractable. They hold all the cards and have many weapons at their disposal. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, disputing an assessment can be a costly and fruitless endeavor. With Dakessian Law on your side, you have the advantage.

You have the advantage of a team with several decades of experience in California tax matters. You have the advantage of a team with a stellar track record at the administrative level. You have the advantage of a team that has achieved ground-breaking wins in court. You have the advantage of lawyers who have held the taxing agencies accountable with attorney fee awards into the millions of dollars. You have the advantage of a firm that commands the respect of the taxing authorities at all levels. You have the advantage of a firm with strong professional relationships with key agency decision-makers. A firm that knows how to expertly navigate California’s unique and complex tax system with grit and determination.

All of this translates into putting our clients in the best possible position to succeed-whether they want to negotiate a settlement, resolve a matter early, or go to the mat.
