Firm Partner, Mary Wood was quoted in a Tax Notes article published March 12, 2024, written by Lauren Loricchio, titled, “ERC Abuse Revives Debate Over Contingency Fees.”

“Many transactions that the IRS has taken issue with over the years have included some type of contingency fee or some type of fee that was related to a refund or tax savings,” said Mary E. Wood of Meadows, Collier, Reed, Cousins, Crouch & Ungerman LLP. “Anytime you have that available, you just have the potential for more abuse.”
