Experienced Tax Evasion Attorney In Denver

Last updated on April 2, 2025

White collar crimes are typically financial crimes, and one example is tax evasion. This is an effort to pay less taxes than is actually due, and the government and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) take it very seriously. Tax evasion is a criminal offense that could lead to fines and jail time, among other ramifications.

If you are facing such charges in Denver, get in touch with us today. We have more than 30 years of experience, and founding attorney Otto K. Hilbert II is known for creative and effective criminal defense strategies. Our lawyers are renowned for their extensive legal knowledge and ability to take on technical and complicated cases.

The Main Component Of Tax Evasion

There are many different examples of potential issues that can lead to allegations of tax evasion. Examples include:

  • Underreporting the income that you earned
  • Not filing your tax returns so that you don’t have to pay
  • Claiming an excessive amount of deductions from your income

However, the main component of a tax evasion case in Denver is that it has to be intentional. Tax mistakes do happen. Many people who file their taxes have little to no experience. They are not certified accountants or tax specialists. They are going to make mistakes.

But there is a difference between making an honest mistake – such as forgetting to report a portion of your income – and intentionally leaving that income off your tax documentation so that you do not have to pay the full amount that should be due. If you are facing criminal allegations, the burden is on the prosecution to show that you did this intentionally and knowingly. A significant part of your defense strategy may simply be stating that you never intended to break the law, but only made a minor mistake that needs to be rectified.
