Welcome to our home page

At Daniel W. Schermer, P.A. we provide experienced legal advice and outcome-oriented representation to individuals and businesses who are the targets of criminal tax investigations and prosecutions, civil audits, and trials.

We handle Federal tax matters throughout the United States, but limit state tax matters to Minnesota.

As a Department of Justice tax prosecutor for thirteen years, Mr. Schermer prosecuted tax evasion cases throughout the United States and obtained a number of significant convictions. Since 1985, he has been in private practice, putting this experience to use to the benefit of his clients.

Daniel W. Schermer personally handles or supervises every case from beginning to end. Where there are accounting issues, he will work with the client's own accountant or his own accountant who is highly experienced in IRS matters. We do not accept new cases that will diminish our ability to provide focused attention and high quality service to our existing clients.

Our law firm is dedicated to the belief that the best outcome for our client is usually that which is achieved discreetly and which avoids costly litigation and potentially disruptive publicity. We know from experience that ninety five percent of tax cases are settled out of court.

We also know that the vast majority of IRS audits are civil rather than criminal. We have handled numerous civil audits and work closely with the IRS auditor to conclude the audit as quickly and amicably as possible.

Our criminal and civil litigation practice derives its strength from the extensive experience of Daniel W. Schermer. Mr. Schermer has achieved proven results across a broad range of criminal and civil matters, including:

  • Criminal tax investigations and prosecutions such as charges of tax fraud and tax evasion.

  • Civil tax audits and investigations including both routine audits and audits that result from criminal tax investigations.

  • Civil tax litigation including cases in the U.S. and Minnesota Tax Courts and refund suits in the federal and state courts.

  • White collar federal and state criminal litigation that arise separately or in conjunction with a criminal tax investigation, including mail and securities fraud, money laundering and currency violations, forfeiture matters and racketeering.

  • Complex civil litigation including commercial and business litigation, ERISA, employment law, and class actions.
