I am certified by the State Bar of Arizona as a Tax Specialist.  My practice focuses on representing taxpayers before the IRS and state agencies such as the Department of Revenue and Department of Economic Security.  Before entering private practice, I was a Senior Trial Attorney with the IRS Office of Chief Counsel.  Within the Los Angeles Office, I was both a Fraud Specialist and the Innocent Spouse Coordinator.  As a former goverment trial attorney, I gained extensive experience in how the IRS selects, develops, and prosecutes tax cases.  Taxpayers facing an audit or collection action generally need a skilled representative to respond to an Agency that is trained to protect the Government's interests.  If the IRS contacts you about your tax return or a balance that you owe, they are not going away.  Ignoring the IRS will almost always make things worse.  A skilled tax professional such as myself can minimize the contact you have with the IRS possibly limiting the problems that you might otherwise face.  If you are involved in a tax dispute, I can help you in a cost effective way to protect your rights.

By way of introduction, my name is Lucas P. Frei and I am a tax and estate planning attorney licensed in Arizona and Colorado. I was born and raised in Gilbert and am a lover of all things Arizona.. I graduated from the Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in 2014. I then had the opportunity to attend the University of Denver and received an advanced degree in the laws of taxation (LL.M.). This intensive program required that I take one extra year of law classes, all in taxation. During this time, I was fortunate enough to work at several small law firms in the Denver area. Upon graduating from the University of Denver, I immediately began work at a large law firm in Colorado, eventually being promoted to lead tax attorney in charge of tax planning, estate planning, and tax litigation.. After many years serving the Denver area, I moved back to Arizona in 2021 and have now joined the Phillips Law Group. I chose this firm as we share the same values and approach to the practice of law. We treat clients with respect and pride ourselves on customer service. We believe in a straightforward, honest, and transparent approach to the practice of law. If I can’t help you or if you would be better served by hiring a different attorney, you will hear it from me first. Your trust is of the utmost importance to me.. I utilize my customer service background from my days as a business owner and restaurant manager, coupled with my legal experience stemming from having worked hundreds of cases, to ensure that my clients receive the best possible legal service. It is for these reasons that I was chosen as an Arizona Super Lawyer Rising Star for 2022, a peer given distinction provided to less than 2.5% of attorneys.. While the majority of my legal experience is in tax planning, estate planning, and tax litigation, I have also been involved in business, criminal, immigration, personal injury, and family law matters.. I welcome you to contact me and to schedule a free consultation to investigate your legal matter. I look forward to meeting you and to serving your legal needs.. Sincerely,. Lucas P.
