State, Local & Federal Tax

Our tax lawyers are familiar with all aspects of Maryland state and local taxation, including sales and use taxes, local property taxes and property tax appeals.

We handle all types of tax controversies and audits for business and individual clients, and our solid working relationships with the examination agents, appeals officers and revenue officers of the Maryland Comptroller's Office, Department of Assessments and Taxation, and numerous local jurisdictions, including property tax boards, frequently enables us to resolve a tax controversy for our clients short of prolonged administrative activity or trial.

Our national tax practice requires us to work regularly with the unique tax concerns of other states, whether Florida's personal use taxes, or the business and personal tax planning required in Delaware, Nevada and other states that do not levy income taxes. There are dozens of state sales and use tax systems around the country, and we excel at helping business clients navigate multi-state tax planning and the operational issues that are affected by this complexity—including the evolving jurisdictional issues surrounding the collection of taxes on sales made over the Internet.
