Experienced Bankruptcy and Tax Law Attorney

Welcome to the website of the Law Offices of Gregory C. Okwuosah, LLC.

Greg Okwuosah is the founder of this client-centered law firm.  The firm was founded with the belief that quality legal services in the areas of bankruptcy and taxation law, provided by a professional and experienced attorney, can be affordable for all individuals and businesses.

Bankruptcy – You’ve come to this website probably because you need help with a bankruptcy question or issue that you’re facing.  You may be in the middle of a financial crisis like most honest hard-working individuals sometimes find themselves through no fault of their own.  Your home payments have fallen behind or your home is in foreclosure, your car payments are late, your creditors are constantly calling, lawsuits have been threatened or filed, etc., then you’ve come to the right place.  At this law firm, we’re not here to judge you on how you got into your situation, because we realize that life is unpredictable.  We’re here to help you find the information you need and a reasonable way out of your situation.  That said, we warn you that bankruptcy is a very serious matter.  Do not file bankruptcy unless as an absolute last resort.  Bankruptcy will negatively impact your credit for 7 to 10 years, among other things.  Thus, we advise you to consider other non-bankruptcy alternatives, like Consumer Credit Counseling or negotiating mutually beneficial repayment terms with your creditors, as ways to resolve your financial crisis.  However, if you’ve thought long and hard and decided that bankruptcy is the only reasonable option for you, then you’ve come to the right place.

Taxation – You’ve come to this website probably because you need help with a tax question or issue that you’re facing.  If what you’re searching for is quality and affordable tax planning, advice, opinion, and/or representation, from a professional and experienced tax attorney, then you’ve come to the right place.  You may also have wondered, why not just let your CPA, Enrolled Agent, or tax return preparer, help you resolve the tax question or issue?  This is because only with an attorney’s legal advice can you benefit from the all too important attorney-client privilege, which, generally, legally exempts your attorney from being forced to testify against you, should the IRS criminally prosecute you.  In other words, your conversations with your tax attorney will remain confidential, and the attorney cannot be forced to repeat them to the IRS or to testify against you in a criminal court.  A CPA, Enrolled Agent, or tax return preparer does not have this particular privilege.  Note: Attorney communication with a client regarding preparing the client’s tax return is not covered by this privilege because preparation of a tax return is not considered legal advice.

About Us - This firm is committed to carefully listening to, and considering, all of a client’s issues and/or concerns right from the start.  Attorney Greg Okwuosah understands, through his years of experience dealing with bankruptcy matters, including time spent in a bankruptcy judge’s chambers as a former bankruptcy law intern, and numerous bankruptcy court appearances as a former Special Assistant United States Attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as through his years of experience as a CPA, a former Senior Attorney for the IRS, and a former Tax Manager for a Big Four accounting firm, that bankruptcy or tax matters are usually complicated, demanding, and stressful.  That is one of the reasons why we at the firm strive to focus the first meeting with a client on helping that client feel that the client’s legal needs are understood and will be addressed.  That way, the client is put at ease right from the start.  Also, throughout the attorney-client relationship with the client, the firm frequently informs the client about the progress of the client’s work or case.  Even after the attorney-client relationship, as part of our commitment to the highest standard of quality service, the firm remains available to answer questions the client may have about that case within a reasonable period thereafter.
