Charles "Chuck" E. Hodges, II concentrates his practice in civil and criminal federal tax controversies and complex tax planning. He has been involved in over 100 cases against the IRS involving all areas of tax law (income, estate, employment, etc.) representing a broad range of taxpayers from individuals, estates and partnerships to publicly-traded corporations. A substantial number of these engagements have involved the defense of TEFRA partnerships and limited liability companies engaged in IRS' "listed transactions." Mr. Hodges handles approximately 15 court cases against the IRS per year and has yet to lose a trial against them, recovering for his clients from the IRS over $1 million in reimbursement of attorneys' fees at the conclusion of their trial victory. Mr. Hodges represents taxpayers against the IRS at all administrative and judicial levels from examination through court proceedings. He has represented taxpayers in many different federal courts including: the United States Tax Court, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, the United States Court of Federal Claims, and the Court of Appeals for the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits. |
