Santa Ana keeps its tax matters close to home, and so does this registry. What follows is the Orange County record for anyone researching a tax attorney, indexed from official State Bar records.
The law also keeps time: the IRS generally has three years from filing to assess additional tax; the FTB has four (Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code § 19057) under 26 U.S.C. § 6501. Substantial omissions double the federal window to six years (26 U.S.C. § 6501(e)); no return or fraud means no limit. A Tax Court petition must follow a notice of deficiency within 90 days (26 U.S.C. § 6213). The plaque below carries the citation; the roster and questions that follow carry the rest.
This page is the Santa Ana chapter of the registry's statewide record · Tax Lawyers in California collects every county and city.

26 U.S.C. § 6501
Substantial omissions double the federal window to six years (26 U.S.C. § 6501(e)); no return or fraud means no limit. A Tax Court petition must follow a notice of deficiency within 90 days (26 U.S.C. § 6213).
30 active attorneys with an address of record in Santa Ana list tax among their practice areas on the registry, out of 2,020 active attorneys whose address of record is in Santa Ana.
By count, the practice areas most often listed by Santa Ana attorneys are criminal defense (501), personal injury (241), litigation (232), business law (205) and workers' compensation (150). A count of listings, not a measure of skill.
5 of the 2,020 have claimed and verified their record here; every other listing is the official record as published.
For 87 of the 2,020 active attorneys in Santa Ana, the registry holds a firm website published in a language other than English; by count, Spanish (81), Persian (9), Armenian (7) and Arabic (3). That describes the website, not the attorney's own ability; an attorney's profile says when they have confirmed a language themselves.
Reading the roster in Santa Ana. Tax controversy is a paper-and-deadline practice: bring every notice, with dates, to a first consultation, because appeal windows (90 days for Tax Court, 60 for an FTB protest) drive everything. Look for attorneys who practice before the IRS, FTB, EDD, and CDTFA regularly, ask whether your matter is an audit defense, a collection resolution, or litigation, and confirm who (attorney, CPA, or enrolled agent) will handle each stage. Attorney-client privilege is a genuine differentiator when fraud exposure is possible.
