About Cumberland Law Group, LLC

Cumberland Law Group, LLC is a tax-controversy practice that represents individuals and businesses in disputes with the IRS and state revenue departments. The firm is headquartered in Atlanta and keeps satellite offices across the Southeast and in Texas; its Raleigh office sits downtown at 421 Fayetteville Street, Suite 1100. Tax controversy is a narrow discipline, and the work here is built around it. The firm handles the full arc of an IRS problem: examinations and audits, administrative appeals, and litigation before the United States Tax Court. When a taxpayer cannot pay a balance in full, it pursues the remedies the Internal Revenue Code provides — installment agreements, offers-in-compromise, penalty abatement, currently-not-collectible status, and relief under the IRS Fresh Start Program. When collection has already begun, the work shifts to releasing bank levies, lifting wage garnishments, and removing federal tax liens. The firm also represents clients on innocent-spouse relief, payroll and sales-tax matters, and trust-fund recovery penalties, and it defends criminal tax charges. Beyond the tax practice, it takes criminal-defense and personal-injury cases. The distinction the firm draws is that a tax attorney, not a preparer or a call-center negotiator, handles the file. That matters in this area of law because appeals, Tax Court petitions, and criminal exposure turn on procedure and on privilege that only an attorney can extend. Consultations are offered at no cost, and the practice describes its approach as one of personal relationships — matching a strategy to each client's circumstances rather than routing every case through the same template. The Raleigh office serves North Carolina taxpayers under Managing Attorney Alex Mitchell, who is licensed in both Georgia and North Carolina and admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court. For a resident of the Triangle facing an audit notice, a lien filing, or a garnishment, the office is a local point of contact for a firm whose entire caseload is the resolution of tax debt and tax disputes. What sets a tax-controversy practice apart from general legal help is the specific machinery it works within — the appeals hierarchy inside the IRS, the deadlines that govern a petition, the collection alternatives that a taxpayer often does not know exist. The firm's stated aim is to save clients time, keep a tax problem from disrupting a business, and reduce the underlying burden through negotiation and, where necessary, litigation. It carries an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and reports having guided hundreds of individuals and businesses through tax disputes. A reader arriving at this listing is usually there for one reason: a letter from the IRS or the state, and a decision about what to do next. The Raleigh office exists to answer that, in a body of law where the difference between a manageable resolution and a worse outcome is often a matter of knowing which relief to file and when.

Cumberland Law Group is an Atlanta-headquartered tax firm that has expanded into North Carolina and Texas, opening the Raleigh office to serve Triangle taxpayers. The firm describes its practice as rooted in cultivating personal relationships with each client and tailoring representation to the individual case rather than a fixed script. It reports having guided hundreds of individuals and businesses through IRS and state tax disputes and holds an A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau. Clients typically arrive with an active tax problem — an audit, a levy, a garnishment, or a lien — and the firm's positioning is that a licensed tax attorney, rather than a preparer or a settlement service, handles the matter from consultation through resolution.
