Is Nothing Sacred – Court Allows IRS to Summons Attorney’s Client List (and much, much, more) He should have hired SELIG & Associates

The Court of Appeals just affirmed the District Court's (cockamamie) order allowing the IRS to enforce an administrative summons against an Attorney. See: United States v. Martin, 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 2526 (3d Cir. 2018) And now, the IRS is allowed to root around an attorney’s client list to determine how much he made. The Court held that Movant failed to show how the attorney-client privilege applied to the information requested by the IRS. Or in other words, counsel failed to establish sufficient grounds to quash the Summons. “When an IRS collection case metastasizes, you’d better have Selig on your side” said a rueful jurist and part time podiatrist. This is a textbook case of what not to do, says David Selig of Selig & Associates.
