At The Tax Counsel™, we offer a broad spectrum of services tailored to meet the needs of businesses, financial institutions, and individuals.

Our offerings include serving as outside tax counsel, handling complex tax dispute resolutions, representing clients in tax audits, defending clients in tax residency audits, negotiating tax settlements with the IRS and California tax agencies, and engaging in tax litigation in U.S. Tax Court.

At The Tax Counsel™, our unique bankruptcy practice is intricately designed to navigate the complex interplay between bankruptcy law and tax controversy.

Unlike many bankruptcy attorneys who may not engage with tax disputes, our firm is distinctively positioned to handle both.

The Tax Counsel™ provides a specialized service designed to support law firms and small to medium-sized businesses through their Outside Tax Legal Counsel Program.

This program is aimed at entities seeking expert legal support in tax law without the need to develop this specialization internally.

The Tax Counsel™ also offers mediation services under its division called Mencius Mediation™.

With a Mediation and Conflict Management Certificate from Harvard Law School Executive Education and as a certified mediator in California, attorney Mrs. Dawson-Man's approach is strategic and solution-oriented, designed to avoid unnecessary litigation and achieve constructive outcomes.

Building on her tenacious and strategic tax dispute and tax litigation experience, Mrs. Dawson-Man expanded her practice to assist homeowners facing challenges with Homeowners' Associations (HOAs).

Motivated by her personal experiences with unethical HOA practices, she has dedicated herself to advocating for homeowners' rights. Her efforts aim to correct and prevent arbitrary actions by HOAs, ensuring legal compliance and restoring harmony within community governance.
