“She read the notice aloud with me, line by line, and then told me what it did not mean. That was the first night I slept.”

Tax law, German Village, Columbus
The IRS has written to you. Let it hear from your lawyer.
Eugenia Kesselring answers audits, back-tax notices, liens and levies for people and family businesses, and files estate and gift tax returns for executors. You meet her at the first appointment, and she is the one who writes to the IRS.
Eugenia Kesselring
Tax attorney, and the whole of the firm
She opened the office on South Third Street in 2011, after six years preparing returns and then representing taxpayers for a downtown accounting firm.
Most people who call have a letter in hand and have not slept well since it arrived. Eugenia reads it with you, explains what it asks for and what it doesn't, and tells you plainly which answers are open to you.
She keeps the practice small so that every file is hers: she drafts each response, takes each call from the revenue officer, and sits beside you at any meeting with the IRS or the Ohio Department of Taxation.

Clients, a year or two after the letter
“Our bakery fell behind on payroll deposits one bad winter. Eugenia set up a payment plan we could actually keep, and she took every call from the revenue officer.”
Luis and Carmen O.Owners of a family bakery
“I was executor for my father and had never heard of Form 706. She filed it, explained the portability election to my mother, and answered the follow-up letter.”

Sample words from clients. No two tax matters are alike, and one client's result is no promise about yours.
