DIVORCE: MAXIMIZE YOUR DIVORCE SETTLEMENT

Divorce proceedings often involve complex financial matters, making it crucial to comprehensively understand the parties’ assets, debts, and income. Our forensic accounting plays a vital role in these cases. Our skill and expertise in financial investigations and analysis provide invaluable assistance in helping you obtain the best possible settlement in a divorce. We ensure a fair and equitable division of marital property by uncovering hidden assets, evaluating financial data, and providing expert testimony.

A common challenge in divorce cases is one party attempting to conceal assets to protect them from being divided fairly. We are adept at uncovering these hidden assets, assessing their value, and ensuring they are included in the settlement negotiations. We analyze financial statements, bank records, tax returns, and other evidence through detailed forensic investigations to identify irregularities or discrepancies that could indicate concealed assets. By employing sophisticated techniques such as data analysis and tracing funds, we leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of full financial transparency.

Expert Testimony and Negotiation Support:

We are not only involved in uncovering hidden assets and evaluating financial data; we can also provide expert testimony during court proceedings. Our objective analysis and professional opinions carry immense weight in litigation. We bolster your case and increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome by presenting evidence and providing clear explanations in a language understandable to legal professionals and the judge.

We lend our expertise during settlement negotiations, working closely with your divorce attorney to provide support and guidance.

IRS CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS: INSIDE IRS KNOWLEDGE TO PREVAIL

When it comes to the civil and criminal procedures of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for income tax matters, money laundering matters (18 USC 1956 and 1957), Form 8300 violations (26 USC 6050I), and structuring (31 USC 5324), Sage Investigations is your best ally. With over 25 years as an IRS Special Agent, we know the ins and outs of the IRS and have the experience and expertise necessary to efficiently and effectively follow the money in complex financial investigations. We have the means to help analyze financial data faster and less expensive, which will allow your attorney to better represent your interest.

If you fall under the gaze of the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS, they can approach you administratively or via a Grand Jury. Depending on the allegations being made, if it is administrative in nature, the process will be less intrusive. If the investigation is Grand Jury related, the potential for the execution of a search warrant is increased. With a search warrant, the government will take over your home and office, seize your records, and image your computers to preserve any evidence of wrongdoing.

Your attorney will need the duplicate records to defend you. Therefore, initially, you must have your computers imaged, and your attorney will negotiate with the IRS to access the paper records seized.
