Meet Kevin E. Thorn
Managing Partner of Thorn Law Group and the Only Former Senior OPR Enforcement Lawyer in Private Practice
If you are under investigation by the IRS’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) for ethics violations or for any failure to fulfill the duties imposed by the IRS upon tax preparers, attorneys and appraisers, you need a serious lawyer on your side with unparalleled experience in this field and with knowledge of how the OPR works.
The Office of Professional Responsibility has tremendous power to impose penalties on tax professionals, including potentially career-ending penalties. These penalties may be imposed for something as minor as not providing a taxpaying client with copies of tax returns or for serious violations, such as failure to conduct due diligence to ensure clients who are claiming the earned income tax credit are actually eligible for it.
Whatever the alleged violation, the OPR has the authority to investigate and take action against the license of a tax preparer, attorney and other professionals. This means the agency has the power to affect your entire professional life if you've allegedly committed an ethics breach or regulatory violation.
If you are at risk of being investigated by the OPR, it is important to seek legal help with a knowledgeable legal professional. When your career and future are on the line, Kevin E. Thorn is the attorney to turn to. Mr. Thorn has rare and invaluable insight into the operators of the OPR, having formerly served as a senior attorney and acting manager for the Office of Professional Responsibility.
