Greene
& Markley boasts unique expertise in the field of taxation. Jeff
Wong served as an attorney with the Internal Revenue Service’s
Office of Chief Counsel for nearly fourteen years. During most
of the 90's, he shouldered primary responsibility for legal advice
to the Oregon IRS Collection Division, and represented the IRS
in most of its litigated bankruptcy controversies as a Special
Assistant U.S. Attorney. Stephen T. Boyke has practiced for fifteen
years in the bankruptcy/taxation area, providing solution-orientated
advice to business and individual clients alike. A thorough understanding
of the interplay between bankruptcy and tax laws is often neccessary
to avoid numerous pitfalls which can appear without careful planning.
Judy Killian served for ten years as an IRS Revenue Agent in Oregon.
Most of Judy’s government career was spent in the IRS’ prestigious
Special Enforcement Program, where she specialized in the detection
and proof of unreported income. Together, they offer clients unique
insight into the thinking and case development processes of the
IRS, audit and other risks associated with tax and other transactions,
and the most efficient means of resolving a tax controversy.
The Greene & Markley tax practice group can service most types
of controversies that arise with the federal and Oregon taxing
authorities. This includes audits and litigated disputes over
the amount of tax due before the federal and state Tax Courts,
and collection controversies where a client faces tax liabilities
that cannot be conveniently paid. Greene & Markley is one of the
few firms in Oregon (if not the only firm), that offers equal
expertise in both bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy solutions to a
tax problem. The tax practice group can competently prepare returns
and financial statements demanded by a taxing authority. It can
efficiently service many types of cases where expertise can be
difficult to find, such as taxation in bankruptcy and insolvency,
tax lien priorities, jeopardy assessments, transferee liabilities,
estate tax liens, and other extraordinary IRS enforcement actions.
The tax practice group generally does not service criminal controversies,
pension plans, international tax, or the income tax aspects of
corporate reorganizations and exempt organizations.
