About Jonathan Marx

Thanks for considering me. Whether you need to fight in court or to negotiate a settlement with the government, I can help. You can expect candid, straightforward advice about the risks and benefits of a course of action - not a wall of tax jargon.

I'm an attorney and I used to work at the US Department of Justice, Tax Division. My experience includes prosecuting dozens of tax crime cases in seven states, including offshore banking and tax shelter cases. Besides criminal tax matters, I can help individuals and small businesses address civil tax penalties for fraud, negligence, or failing to pay employment taxes. I also have experience representing taxpayers in audits and collections activity.

Worked on Case Together | Sep 10, 2024
While I was employed at the IRS, I worked with Jonathan Marx on a few large tax cases, while he was an attorney at DOJ-Tax Division. It was always a pleasure to work with him. He fully understands aspects of the law and the opposition and judges respected his arguments. He is a great tax lawyer and will represent his clients well.

Advised on Tax Penalties | Jul 28, 2025
I highly recommend the services of Jonathan Marx as he was extremely helpful in a rather complex, difficult and very stressful situation. He was easy to get in touch with, prompt in starting the work on our case, and very quick and open in all of our correspondences. He took the time to thoroughly examine all the documentation and made an excellent case for our appeal. He is very talented, immensely knowledgeable, understanding, honest, efficient and has the highest legal and ethical standards. In summary, Jonathan is an excellent attorney, a critical thinker and a strong advocate who deserves the highest rating.
