Criminal Tax New Haven CT: Former New Haven Tax Preparer is Sentenced

Criminal Tax, Local News and Events No Comments

tax form and pen John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that DEVON WILLIAMS, 30, of Atlanta, Georgia, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in New Haven to eight months of imprisonment, followed by one year of supervised release, for preparing false tax returns.

According to court documents and statements made in court, Williams formerly owned and operated Perfect Preparers, LLC, a tax preparation business based in New Haven. Between approximately 2014 and 2017, Williams prepared numerous federal tax returns for clients that contained inflated deductions, including false deductions for unreimbursed employee expenses, charitable donations, and mortgage interest. Some returns contained false Schedule C (sole proprietorship business) information. Losses suffered by the IRS as a result of his fraud totaled at least $550,000.

Judge Hall ordered Williams to pay restitution of $550,000.

On October 3, 2019, Williams pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and assisting the preparation of a false tax return.

As a result of Williams’ fraudulent conduct, many of his clients’ filed tax returns will need to be amended. Williams’ clients are required to resolve their own tax liability with the IRS.

Williams, who is released on a $150,000 bond, is required to report to prison on March 4, 2020.

This matter was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer R. Laraia.

If you or someone you know has a criminal tax issue, or was victimized by Devon Williams, please contact us at (203) 285-8545 or by email at egreen@gs-lawfirm.com.

Criminal Tax New Haven, CT: IRS Arrests Michael Avenatti at Hearing

Criminal Tax, News No Comments

We routinely represent taxpayers in civil and criminal tax cases. We wanted to let everyone know that IRS agents arrested embattled attorney Michael Avenatti in Los Angeles late Tuesday during a break in a hearing before the California State Bar, the U.S. attorney’s office confirmed , saying he allegedly violated the terms of his pretrial release on charges he embezzled client funds.

Michael Avenatti, famous for representing Adult Actress Stormy Daniels and had been positioning himself for a run for President, was arrested Tuesday, cutting short a hearing on whether his law license should be suspended while the California State Bar investigates disciplinary charges.

The hearing was on whether Avenatti’s law license should be suspended while the State Bar investigates disciplinary charges connected to allegations he stole a former client’s $1.6 million settlement payment. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California told the media that IRS agents arrested Avenatti for allegedly violating the terms of his pretrial release in the embezzlement case that is pending in California federal court. The documents related to the alleged violation are under seal, the spokesman said. Avenatti’s arrest comes the same day the attorney lost his bid to delay his upcoming trial in New York federal court on criminal charges he plotted to extort millions of dollars from Nike Inc. He is slated to go to trial Jan. 21. Tuesday’s proceedings at the State Bar were a continuation of a hearing from December to determine whether Avenatti’s law license should be suspended while the bar investigates bringing disciplinary charges in relation to accusations that he embezzled a $1.6 million settlement payment to his former client, Gregory Barela Jr. The California State Bar hearing was paused for nearly two hours on Tuesday while Avenatti attended the hearing in New York by telephone. After Avenatti finished that call, he took the stand in Los Angeles to testify that he has a hazy recollection of the details of the settlement agreement he negotiated on Barela’s behalf in an intellectual property dispute.

If you or someone you know has a criminal tax issue, or was victimized by Attorney Avenatti, please contact us at (203) 285-8545 or by email at egreen@gs-lawfirm.com.

TRN Podcast No Comments

With IRS Enforcement increasing thanks to the new IRS Commissioner, and with more than 22 million taxpayers in need of help, this is the time to launch your Representation practice!

Consider the following facts:

According to the IRS, there are 15 million taxpayers in the Collection Division inventory
The IRS has announced it has identified more than 7 million non-filers it will be pursuing in 2020
The IRS is beginning enforcement sweeps in “underserved” areas of the US
The average price of a 1040 tax return has fallen from $365 to $261 in the last 5 years
Almost 60% of all Americans are filing their own tax returns (and screwing them up, creating more work for representation)
