CLAIR COUNTY, ILLINOIS, LAW FIRM HANDLING TAX CASES AVAILABLE TO REPRESENT CLIENTS FROM SHAWNEETOWN, GALLATIN COUNTY, CARMI, WHITE COUNTY, MCLEANSBORO, HAMILTON COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
We represented a city attorney in Southern Illinois who was involved in a scheme whereby out-of-state truckers on an interstate highway were ticketed. They were allowed not to return to the area with a disposition of their case that included a fine and costs. The problem was that the city attorney was funneling the amounts receive into a separate account, and not for the city. In other words, the tickets were being dismissed, the amount were paid by the truckers but the amounts paid were not being received by the city. The attorney was charged with filing false tax returns because he did not report the income that he wrongfully received from the scheme.
