Litigation Lawyers in zip code 98134 | 5 Available

People, clients and courts trust me because I do what I say, handle problems as they come in, listen critically and have a bulldog temperament well suited for communication, argument and litigation in the legal arena. With thousands of court appearances and recorded interviews under my belt in private practice, I know when and how to listen, question, speak and argue. Aside from my litigation background, as of 2018, I rank in the top 25 nationally in IBJJF jujitsu at my belt and weigh and find balance with training regularly. I practice law the same way I play sports: I engage in a thoughtful and unrelenting pursuit of the goal.

Robert Chicoine advises clients in matters of state and federal taxation, be it planning to minimize tax disputes, effectively resolving administrative scrutiny by taxing authorities, or defending clients in litigation when tax controversies cannot be settled.

He has handled hundreds of cases before the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Justice, and revenue departments of state governments. Many of his most successful results are those that have never been published because they were resolved by negotiation. His priority is to cost effectively settle tax disputes without litigation, but if that is not possible, he will passionately defend his clients in court..
