Atty. Michael Raff, Northfield, Cook County, Illinois, USA

Summary

I enjoy working on a variety of legal matters for our firm.Some of the more regular tasks include representation of clients in an array of tax disputes before the IRS and the Illinois Department of Revenue. These cases often work there way through the administrative level, up through appeals, and often to the United States Tax Court. My clients have scored significant victories in Audit Defense, Offer in Compromise and Innocent Spouse cases.I am also experienced in drafting employment contracts such as employment and separation and termination agreements as well as restrictive covenants.I represent buyers and sellers in residential real estate transactions.Our firm is also a friend to small business, often consulting with start ups to determine what sort of business entity is best suited for their venture as well helping them to file the requisite paperwork necessary with both the state and the IRS.
