Experienced Tax Law Attorney in Leawood, Kansas
State and federal taxes affect almost every financial transaction made by a business or individual throughout life — and even after death. Advance planning to anticipate tax ramifications is a smart move for any person who is considering a major financial move. However, too many people avoid seeking tax advice because they are concerned about unpredictable costs.
At The Mathews Group, LC, we understand that hesitation. Our Leawood, Kansas, law office operates on a fundamental guiding principle: we believe in up-front communication with our clients about fees and services. By the end of the first meeting, our client will know exactly what services we will provide them and exactly how much it will cost.

Business Tax Planning
Business tax planning is most important when it comes to start-ups, acquisitions, dissolutions, and real estate purchases and sales. In these scenarios, the services of a good tax lawyer can make the difference between financial success and financial disaster. Long-range planning is always a part of the services we offer to our clients who come to us for help with business law matters. No matter what the immediate issue is, your attorney will look from every angle to analyze all possible tax consequences and minimize corporate and personal tax liability.
Personal Financial Planning
While financial planning often focuses on ways to improve an individual's return on an investment, tax ramifications are often set aside as afterthoughts. This is because the tax code is so complex that most financial advisors are not in a position to accurately explain to their clients the tax ramifications of various financial decisions.
We do not mean to say that financial planners aren't necessary. In order to creative a cohesive financial plan that maximizes returns while minimizing taxes and other liabilities, individuals and businesses need an expert financial planner, a smart insurance agent and a good tax lawyer. These are the professionals whose job is to help you create wealth. At the end of the year, you'll also need a good accountant to properly prepare your taxes and calculate the deductions that your financial plan anticipated.
Criminal Tax Investigations
Sometimes, even with proper planning and forethought, individuals and businesses will be audited or even charged with tax evasion or tax fraud by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or local taxing authorities.
The Mathews Group offers defense in civil and criminal tax investigations at the local and federal level. Unpaid taxes can lead to tax liens, tax levies and garnishments — not to mention fines and possible jail time. If you receive a notice of investigation from the IRS, contact us immediately. The longer you wait, the fewer options you will have.
