ILLINOIS CRIMINAL TAX LAWYER, METRO EAST, BELLEVILLE, ST. CLAIR COUNTY, ILLINOIS, AVAILABLE TO REPRESENT CLIENTS FROM SHAWNEETOWN, GALLATIN COUNTY, CARMI, WHITE COUNTY AND MCLEANSBORO, HAMILTON COUNTY, ILLINOIS, WE HAVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE REPRESENTING CLIENTS IN REGARD TO CRIMINAL TAX CASES. ALTHOUGH THE GENESIS OF CASES MAY DIFFER, IT TYPICALLY STARTS WITH AN INVESTIGATION BY A LOCAL OR REGIONAL SPECIAL AGENT WITHIN THE CRIMINAL DIVISION AND SPECIAL AGENTS ARE USUALLY WORKING IN TANDEM. IN MOST CASES THEIR OBJECTIVE CAN BE TO ATTEMPT TO ASSEMBLE A QUALITY FILE FOR PURPOSES OF REFERRAL FOR CRIMINAL INFORMATION, INDICTMENT, PROSECUTION AND ANY SENTENCING UNDER MINIMAL SENTENCING GUIDELINES, IF APPLICABLE. ALTHOUGH RELEVANT IN SOME INSTANCES, THE AMOUNT OF TAX OWED FOR CIVIL PURPOSES MAY NOT BE IMPORTANT TO A SPECIAL AGENT FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IN REGARD TO A CRIMINAL TAX INVESTIGATION. THE WORST THING A CLIENT CAN DO IS STICK THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND AND ATTEMPT TO ACT LIKE NOTHING IS OCCURRING, OR TO MISREPRESENT MATTERS TO THE SPECIAL AGENT OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OR TO INTERFERE WITH AN INVESTIGATION OR OBSTRUCT JUSTICE. THAT JUST MAKES MATTERS WORSE AND CAN BE FATAL TO THE CLIENT IN REGARD TO A CRIMINAL TAX INVESTIGATION.

DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES (DCFS) LAW FIRM, BELLEVILLE, ST. CLAIR COUNTY, ILLINOIS DCFS EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS, AVAILABLE TO REPRESENT CLIENTS FROM MACOMB, MCDONOUGH COUNTY, CANTON, FULTON COUNTY AND HAVANA, MASON COUNTY, ILLINOIS. FORMAL INVESTIGATIONS ARE USED TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE IS “CREDIBLE EVIDENCE” THAT THE CHILD WAS ABUSED OR NEGLECTED AND TO DECIDE IF THE CHILD IS IN DANGER IN THE HOME. DCFS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE YOUR CHILD FROM YOU, UNLESS IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE. BEFORE TAKING YOUR CHILD FROM THE HOME, DCFS MUST TRY OTHER WAYS TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE, SUCH AS CREATING A SAFETY PLAN. A SAFETY PLAN SHOULD BE IN WRITING AND MAY INVOLVE YOU OR YOUR CHILD STAYING WITH SOMEONE ELSE WHILE DCFS COMPLETES ITS INVESTIGATION. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE TO A SAFETY PLAN, BUT IF YOU DON’T AGREE TO A SAFETY PLAN, DCFS MAY TAKE PROTECTIVE CUSTODY OF YOUR CHILD FOR 48 HOURS. DURING THIS 48-HOUR PERIOD, DCFS MAY ASK THE COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY TO FILE COURT PAPERS ASKING A JUDGE TO GIVE DCFS TEMPORARY LEGAL CUSTODY OF YOUR CHILD, SO IT CAN PLACE YOUR CHILD IN FOSTER CARE. SOMETIMES DCFS ASKS A PARENT TO GIVE SOMEONE ELSE FORMAL LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP OF THE CHILD. BEFORE YOU AGREE OR SIGN ANY LEGAL DOCUMENTS, YOU SHOULD TALK TO A LAWYER ABOUT THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP. YOU SHOULDN’T RELY ON WHAT DCFS WORKERS TELL YOU ABOUT LEGAL GUARDIANSHIP. IF THE STATE’S ATTORNEY’S OFFICE DOESN’T THINK THERE IS ENOUGH PROOF TO BRING A CASE ALLEGING ABUSE OR NEGLECT, IT USUALLY REJECTS DCFS’S REQUEST TO FILE COURT PAPERS. IF IT AGREES TO FILE THE COURT PAPERS, YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED.
