What is Tax Evasion?
Tax evasion is a serious white-collar crime that involves intentionally underreporting income, inflating deductions, or engaging in other deceptive practices to reduce tax liability. In the eyes of the law, tax evasion is a deliberate attempt to evade paying owed taxes. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and state tax authorities take these offenses seriously, vigorously pursuing investigations and prosecutions to maintain the tax system's integrity.
What are the Penalties for Tax Evasion in Ohio?
The consequences of a tax evasion conviction in Ohio can be severe, ranging from substantial fines to imprisonment. Understanding the potential penalties is essential for anyone facing these charges.
- Fines: Individuals convicted of tax evasion may face substantial fines, depending on the offense's severity and the amount of taxes evaded.
- Imprisonment: A conviction for tax evasion can result in significant prison sentences. The length of imprisonment varies based on factors such as the amount of taxes evaded, prior convictions, and the presence of aggravating circumstances.
- Restitution: In addition to fines and imprisonment, individuals convicted of tax evasion may be required to pay restitution to the government for unpaid taxes.
Defenses Against Tax Evasion Charges
Some common defenses against tax evasion charges may include:
- Lack of Intent: One key element of tax evasion is the intent to deceive. We can meticulously examine the evidence to challenge the prosecution's claim of intent, aiming to demonstrate that any discrepancies were the result of inadvertent errors rather than a deliberate attempt to evade taxes.
- Errors and Omissions: Tax documents are complex, and mistakes can easily occur. We can scrutinize financial records and tax filings to identify any errors or omissions that may have contributed to the allegations of tax evasion.
- Illegal Search and Seizure: If law enforcement obtained evidence through an illegal search or seizure, it may be possible to have that evidence excluded from court. We can thoroughly examine the methods used by law enforcement to gather evidence to ensure that our client's constitutional rights were not violated.
- Negotiating a Settlement: In some cases, negotiating a settlement with tax authorities may be a viable option. We have extensive experience in negotiating favorable settlements that address tax issues without the need for protracted legal battles.

"Patrick and his team are the only choice!"My husband was forced to defend himself at our home but that put him in jail. I first went with another lawyer, Mike Mills, who took my money and that was it. Feeling hopeless, I contacted Patrick’s team and they didn’t disappoint. Within 3 hours, Patrick was at jail speaking with my husband and a few days later, Patrick had him home. When you call the office, everyone helps you. You are not just another case to them; I know and experienced it. They are a team you want to be on your family’s side! Thank you Patrick and Laura and team - you are the best, thank you!- Jackson

He knows what he's doing. Child custody WON! DUI best possible outcome! I wouldn't hire anyone but him. I highly recommend! Thanks Mr. Mulligan and staff!- Satisfied Client

"Best Lawyer ever."Patrick Mulligan took on my case in May 1996 not knowing how things would go. My case being his first Big case. He saved my life. I have still to this day will always remember and be Thankful to him for trusting and believing in me. I was a mother of a daughter 19 months old who as killed by my boyfriend at the time. The state tried to prove me for child endangering and wanting me to serve 18 months in prison. Parick didnt know until that point what he had gotten into . Patrick did everything he could to prove I was a good mother. It was almost a year after my daughters life was taken. We went to trail and I stood on the stand with all my friends and Dr.'s. Patrick worked so hard for me and we won and here I am 15 years later . I found his web site and had to tell my story. Anyone who needs his help he will work as hard as he can for anyone he believs in. I'm so gald to see he is still in Cinti helping people. Thank you Patrick. I will talk to you soon.- Stacy

"Help in the Middle of the Night"Mr. Mulligan made all the difference in my case. Through his yellow page ad, I was able to reach him in the middle of the night, after my ex-wife had me falsely arrested for Domestic Violence Verbal. He was prompt in coming to my assistance. He went out of his way to help reach my family so that they could get me released from holding. He answered all my questions and walked me through the entire process. He was able to get the results I was hoping for at the pre-trial, so that we did not actually have to go through an actual trial. Mr. Mulligan exceeded all my expectations and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar unfortunate situation. He was a Godsend for me.- Mark
