Thorn Law Group
Thorn Law Group
Washington, DC tax attorneys who take on the IRS, DOJ, and complex international tax matters head-on.
When a letter arrives from the Department of Justice or the IRS, most people panic. Clients of Thorn Law Group pick up the phone and call Kevin Thorn. Based at 888 16th Street NW, steps from the White House and the corridors of federal power, this firm was built specifically to handle the tax disputes that other attorneys quietly decline.
Managing Partner Kevin E. Thorn has spent his career at the intersection of tax law, criminal defense, and international finance. His clients include U.S. citizens living abroad with undisclosed foreign accounts, executives facing IRS audits, and individuals navigating the labyrinthine rules that followed recent sweeping tax reform. The firm's 4.6-star rating reflects something specific: clients who arrived terrified left with clarity and, more often than not, a resolution they did not think was possible.
This is not a generalist law firm that handles tax work on the side. Every attorney here focuses on tax controversy and tax planning, which means the knowledge runs deep and the strategy is sharp. If your situation involves the IRS, the DOJ, FBAR penalties, or foreign account compliance, you are in the right place.
Thorn Law Group handles the full spectrum of high-stakes tax matters, from criminal tax defense and IRS audit representation to voluntary disclosure programs for unreported offshore accounts. The firm's international tax practice is particularly strong, guiding dual-resident families, expatriates, and foreign nationals through the compliance requirements that trip up even sophisticated taxpayers.
On the civil side, the team negotiates offers in compromise, penalty abatement requests, and installment agreements, turning seemingly impossible IRS balances into manageable outcomes. The firm also advises on tax planning for individuals and businesses seeking to stay compliant as laws evolve, including guidance on the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and FBAR reporting obligations.
Every engagement begins with a frank assessment of your actual exposure and a concrete plan to address it. No vague reassurances, no billable hours spent on work that does not move your case forward.
