David Garvin is a well versed criminal tax attorney with extensive experience that helped me in a serious state tax matter. Although David’s office is located in Miami Florida he represents clients like myself in many states.

I recommend David because he is very knowledgeable with the process of tax cases. He has a unique skill to see the evidence in a case and will work for his client to find the best path for preservation of the client. Not only does David Garvin care about his clients reputation and their well being, he is also the hardest working attorney I have ever met.

It is a pleasure to have David as my attorney and the work he is doing for me in California. If you are being threatened by a taxing authority, you need legal counsel, and there is no better tax attorney than David Garvin. Thank You, David for what you have done to preserve my freedom.

I consider myself and my practice honest and upstanding. For almost 20 year, my small practice has done it’s best to assure all of my clients accounting and tax needs are handled professionally, accurately, and LEGALLY! When the IRS came knocking, they weren’t there to thank me for my service! It was one of the worst experiences of my life.

In haste, I hired a lawyer. The lawyer that I hired didn’t even know what a Schedule C was, but assured me that they could help. After about a month of not answering my questions, not informing me of how the process works, and not giving me any comfort at all that I was in good hands, I went searching for answers. In my search, I found David M. Garvin’s website. I learned more about the process from the website alone, then I did from my lawyer. I decided to call for a consultation. David called me right back! He gave me the ins and outs of what we were dealing with, what my options were, and assured me that things did not have to end poorly for my situation.

After talking it over with my wife, I decided to “Go with Garvin”! It was the best decision of my life. His price is fair considering the expertise you are getting when it really counts! We met and game planned, I felt like I had a partner with my best interest on my side! Any question that arose, he knew the answers and was always able to put me at ease when my nerves were getting the best of me. After 6 months, with David on my side, the IRS decided to kill the case!

I believe, if it wasn’t for Garvin on my side, it would have been a different outcome. Thank you David for all you do, you are truly a God send!

David Garvin is a great attorney, that truly cares.

Absolutely the best at what he does! Mr. Garvin was key to my family member being found NOT GUILTY! Not only is he the utmost professional, he is also a fantastic person who we can all now call a friend!

“10 STARS CRIMINAL TAX ATTORNEY” IRS knocked on my door intimidating me and making me feel like the worst person on earth. Nonetheless, after carefully consulting Criminal Tax Attorneys, Mr. Garvin was the only one that gave me security, trust and confidence. His professionalism, knowledge and experience took me from fear and anxiety to killing the case and regaining my peace and tranquility. I highly recommend Mr. Garvin and his team. I am forever grateful to David and his wonderful staff.

“An Angel sent by God to my life”
After seen many lawyers in the area and only given the option to plead guilty before the proposed charges IRS had against me, I prayed to find a lawyer that would actually fight for my case and not charge me crazy fees just to plead guilty. After hours of reading reviews and similar cases online I found Mr Garvin in the Miami Florida area, I decided to contact him, we set up a telephone interview since I live in New Jersey, he took a good time to explain what the case was about, the options I had and the possible outcomes in all of these options to manage the case. I honestly have no words to thank Mr. Garvin for his professionalism and excellence in every way he handled my case. Mr Garvin is an expert in his field who doesn’t hesitate to confront the facts and is not afraid to fight to obtain the results he is looking for. He is worth every dollar you pay, very fair and honest man. When others advised me to take the easy way out for them by pleading guilty Mr Garvin knew he could win my case and he did. Mr Garvin is vivid proof that you don’t have to settled for less than what you think you are even if everything seems lost. Dealing with this matter was very estressfull and depressive, IRS knows everyone is afraid of them and they play around with your emotions and your clients emotions to make you feel like you have no other choice but surrender. I owe Mr Garvin my freedom and my tranquility, that’s Pricesless. My advise to everyone who is facing IRS criminal investigations and know you are not a criminal don’t hesitate to hire Mr Garvin. I wouldn’t be here writing this happy review if it wasn’t for him.

Nobody ever beats the IRS EXCEPT David Garvin. At the end of the trial, two jurors told me they cried over his closing argument! NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS! The federal judge told me he was the best lawyer he has ever had in his court.

Mr. Garvin’s work ethic and professionalism is unsurpassed. You will not be just a number, he truly cares about his job and his clients. We were looking for the best and we found him, we will forever be in debt to Mr. Garvin and his team. Freedom! NOT GUILTY 30 COUNTS!!!

The hardest fight of my life. Mr. Garvin guided me through it all. His extensive knowledge and professionalism ensured my freedom was not taking away! Mr. Garvin and his team worked tirelessly to protect my rights. I am forever indebted to Mr. Gavin and his team. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to personally thank Mr. David Garvin and his team for his guidance, professionalism and his knowledge. From our very first meeting till now, he has been honest and professional. David, always made himself available for any questions or concerns I had.
Thank you, David, for your help. I highly recommend Mr. David Garvin and his services.

David Garvin is a God send. This past year I ran into some trouble with the IRS that scarred me out of my mind. What’s worst, is that I asked questions to so many people in hopes of receiving comforting information and insight, but I found none. This made me even more concerned. My first call to David brought on a sense of peace and assurance that nobody else could deliver. I had to choose him. He was straightforward with me but provided constant reassurance along the way that kept me at ease. I was able to call him whenever I needed to, and he was there to answer the call. If you are facing a Giant (Goliath), you want a David on your side you fight. Thanks Mr. Garvin for your support and expertise and getting me the best possible result considering the circumstances. You are awesome!

David Garvin truly deserves his reputation as one of the nation's top trial lawyers. I am an attorney who has worked on cases with David for more than ten years.

I have retained the biggest and most powerful law firms and lawyers in this country for my personal and business needs over the last 45 years (Edward Bennett Williams, Brendan Sullivan, Mark Geragos, Johnny Cochran, Roy Black, et al). So I know something about excellent and brilliant attorneys. David Garvin is the BEST tax litigation attorney I have ever worked with. He is extremely competent, professional, attentive to details, respectful, insightful, creative and brilliant. No other attorney will ever handle my tax issues, including my tax appeals to the 11th Circuit. If you want the best tax results retain the best tax attorney, David M. Garvin ... he wins for his clients ... he always wins for me!

Dealing with David Garvin was a horrible experience for me. I felt like he was pompous, unsupportive of my situation and unprepared. All this put me in a bad position when dealing with my legal situation.

When you are indicted with conspiracy to commit a federal crime, you are overcome by fear, uncertainty, and confusion. After having researched and spoken to different lawyers, I knew that the best representation would be with Mr. Garvin. He is the best of the best White-Collar Crime Attorney. His knowledge, expertise, attention to detail and patience were crucial during the longest months of my life.
We put in days, nights and weekends of preparation to go to trial and David was fully dedicated to my case and dug into the smallest details to make sure we were ready to win.
After 6 months of preparation and endless evidences my case was dismissed.

Five stars are not enough to express how grateful I am to David and his team for helping me get my life back. THANK YOU!!

Hiring a defense attorney is never a celebratory occasion. It was a stressful, anxious ridden ordeal for me. David has built a well deserved reputation for obtaining good outcomes, so he has a lot of clients. Still, he made me feel like I was the only one. He was always available to answer my questions. He diligently followed through with a hard to reach prosecutor. He got my charges dropped- the best possible outcome. David's modus operandi is to under promise and over deliver. While this is nerve wrecking, it's exactly what you want from an attorney.

Facing the IRS in a criminal case is by far the most difficult situation my family and I have had to go through.
Mr. Garvin's professionalism and legal knowledge made a difference in our life. Both Mr. Garvin and his staff helped ease my mind in answering all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner and often put our minds at ease.
Mr. Garvin and his staff went above and beyond. Most importantly, Mr. Garvin and his staff truly care to help and you can feel it.
I feel confident in recommending Mr. Garvin as an attorney, and I'm glad he represented us and helped us get a verdict that was in my family's best interest.

Hiring Mr. David Garwin to represent me was the best decision of my life his experience, brilliance , knowledge , extraordinary negotiating and people skills are priceless 5 stars is not enough to rate him and his team I learned the hard way that not every attorney can do his job well when it comes to high stakes and best possible outcome only the best of the best will get you there. Thank you Mr. Garwin for saving my life

I found myself in need of the best attorney I could find. Mr. Garvin was recommended to me by his peers. From the very beginning I realized the high respect legal professionals had for him, the expertise in his field, and the record of success he exhibited. At first I was not aware that his recommendations were to my best interest. I was convinced I knew what was best for myself. It was only after an extended time, I realized he had my back the entire time and his guidance would lead to a successful future while dealing with the task at hand. He kept me abreast of my situation, was always available, and gave me guidance that would save me from myself. He was careful to not overpromise and he truely led me to real expectations given the circumstances. I am unable to find words apropriate to explain my appreciation and convey how great an attorney Mr. Garvin is.

Just amazing. Helping my family get through a very messy tax situation. Exceedingly professional, patient, and kind. He and his entire staff are incredibly comforting in the face of our obvious emotional distress. Cannot recommend highly enough. Absolute best experience with an attorney in my lifetime (including my dad :))

Five stars for David and his wonderful team. They are great professionals and David is an artist in the courtroom.

I thought I was in a lot of trouble, but thanks to David and his excellent team everything was dropped and I can go on with my life.

AWESOME ATTORNEY!! Being a tax accountant for over 20 years, I thought I could have picked up the phone and resolve any issues I had with the IRS; in this scenario that was not the case. I was wrongfully accused of preparing false TAX returns for 11 clients and it became an ugly situation. Hiring Mr. Garvin was the BEST. He is very knowledgeable in federal court procedures. He was very tactical during my trial in conveying to the jury the “mistake and misunderstanding that happened in my office” and the confusion caused by the law. I am now a believer in the American justice system because of Mr. David Garvin. My family and I thank you.

Sometimes life gives you problems that you never thought you would have. I was given one of those. When you read the nightmare scenarios online, you listen to other people and review the incredible numbers stacked up against you, the fear settles in for you and your family and your world around you starts to collapse. That is when you need someone like David on your side. He was not only a legal expert, he was also a therapist to guide us through. It was one of our best decision in life to come to him and I consider him now a friend. He has successfully killed my case after 4 years of IRS investigation, when nobody thought it would be possible.My family and I, are grateful to him for life. He is the best tax attorney in the nation. period.

I was wrongfully accussed of been part of a in a multimillion-dollar mortgage fraud scheme, that I had no Idea, I was living in Brazil unaware of what was going on. David was brilliant and gave all the support I needed to prove my innocence, He is a very direct man that will always tell you the truth, He will never tell you what you want to hear, but what you need toi hear at that moment! Great Man! Arnaldo

I and the employees of Nations Business Centers, Inc. will be forever grateful for the legal skills, professionalisim and efforst that David Garvin exhibited on our behalf when the IRS attempted to permanently close our successful tax preparation business.

Prior to our case the government had prevailed in over three hundred of these types of legal actions. With unlimited power and resources to crush facing and defeating the IRS seemd an impossible task. Thanks to David Garvin we prevailed.

When high powered legal help is required to resolve civil and criminal tax controversies I highly recommend the professional services of David Garvin and his firm.

I am a plastic surgeon in practice for over 20 years. I had an office manager who had been working for me for eight years. She ran my office, all my accounting, as well as my personal accounting. She was a "church going lady," recommended to me by a good friend. Things, however, are not always as they seem. She unfortunately, embezzled a significant amount of my life's work from under my nose. It is not uncommon for a surgeon, being so busy with patient care, to fall victim to this kind of deception and fraud. Not only did she steal a lot of money, but mismanaged my taxes to say the least. Frankly, the bookkeeping was a disaster. When I fired her and reported her to the police, she quickly went to the IRS apparently claiming that I was behind all the mismanagement. Needless to say, the IRS took the bait, and the criminal division of the IRS (CID) began investigating me. I went through several lawyers, Last of which was highly recommended by a high profile divorce attorney I knew. A professor, teaching tax law at a local state University. I thought I was in good hands. This lawyer met with the CID on several occasions as the CID interviewed each and every one of my office staff. To my surprise, that lawyer, essentially told me that I better make a deal with the CID, as he thought my case was indefensible, and I would be indicted. I was shocked, I could not believe it. Here I was, not only having a significant part of my life's work stolen from me, but now possibly facing going to jail. What a nightmare? I immediately started looking for another lawyer. At around that time, a high profile case was in the media, that of Hélio Castroneves, a famous Indy car racing car driver charged with Tax evasion. He was found not guilty on all counts. His defense attorney was a guy by the name of David Garvin. I decided to look him up. I went to his office and told him my story in great detail. Frankly, I was expecting to hear a negative response, similar to the one I got from the previous lawyer. His response, however,was not at all negative. It was: "Ary, you do have issues, but none, I believe, are unmanageable." Those words were reassuring then, but more importantly, turned out to be true today, six years later. This is what I have learned besides to never fully trust an office manager again: The CID wins over 95% of the cases they bring to trial. Most lawyers, knowing this statistic, will try to make a deal with the CID outside of the court room, being afraid of the battle and the, likely, poor outcome inside the courtroom. Some lawyers, may have a great reputation, but are not trial lawyers at all, thus will only "make a deal" with CID when faced with prospect of an indictment. The CID, thus, are usually victorious once they get a hold of a case. This was the case with me prior to me hiring David Garvin. David, personally, knew all the facts of my case and defended me zealously. Things went from what appeared to be imminent indictment to a period of quiet with very little further investigation by the CID. Essentially, the CID dropped my case, presumably because they felt they would not be able to meet the high burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt, having David Garvin on my side, defending me forcefully. David Garvin is a trial lawyer who is not afraid to fight in court. He is the only lawyer I know of that has won multiple trials against the government. Take the recent Julio Robaina case, the ex Hialeah Mayor charged with tax fraud. He was found not guilty on all counts. His lawyer was my lawyer, David Garvin.

I found myself in a situation where I needed the services of an attorney. I had been practicing as a CPA for over 20 years and never even had a complaint against me. Fortunately, I found David Garvin during my search process and I felt he believed in my innocence from Day 1.
David Garvin is a brilliant trial attorney. Mr. Garvin guided me through the complicated federal justice system. His expertise, work ethic, and integrity in this area is second to none.

David M. Garvin is a remarkable attorney. I have had the honor to experience his work ethic and observe a true master of the law. The tenacity and legal knowledge displayed by him throughout his representation is both highly skillful and competent and even more exceptional within the courtroom. David is always honest with his clients about every aspect of the case and believes in working hard to obtain positive results.

Excellent Attorney!!! I have worked with Mr. Garvin in the past and I have observed the way Mr. Garvin works on a case. He gives personal attention to the client. He has an unusual ability to analyze and communicate the facts to the Judge and the jury. He has obtained exceptional results. I personally know of the following, need one say more:

U.S. v. Julio and Raiza Robaina (Not Guilty all Counts).

U.S. v. Helio Castroneves (Not Guilty all Counts).

U.S. v. Timothy Parkes (Not Guilty all Counts).

U.S. v. Terry Elliott (Not Guilty all Counts).

U.S. v. John P. Miller (Not Guilty all Counts).

Mr. David Garvin is a superior tax attorney and a brilliant trial lawyer. His is knowledgeable, very meticulous in all he does and he takes his time with his clients. He will go above and beyond, exhausting ever option for his clients. His staff is wonderful and encouraging at every turn and we have only wonderful things to say, about them. Finding Mr. Garvin, his family and staff and getting to know them after such a horrible experience was the silver-lining in the dark cloud. You will not find anyone better to represent you and we believe that Mr Garvin's representation was the difference between winning and losing.

Julio and Raiza Robaina

Heaven-sent. A genuine superstar in an extremely complex field. David Garvin's dedication to ensuring my well-being was on display from the first day we met. He's a highly educated, detail-oriented, experienced individual whose display of complete control over any situation facing his client is unsurpassed. Mr. Garvin and his staff are truly the ultimate professionals.

Brilliant! What a command of the courtroom! The difference between winning and losing. Best move I ever made!!

If you need a first class attorney for your criminal trial, this is it
