Tax Lady: California lawsuit 'election year politics'

August 26, 2010

Roni Deutch, who has been sued by California Attorney General and aspiring governor Jerry Brown for allegedly swindling clients seeking settlements of their tax liabilities, has responded to the accusations in her Tax Lady Blog:

I believe the California Attorney General’s civil complaint against my law firm and me to simply be election year politics. My law firm has been representing taxpayers before the IRS for almost 20 years. We have saved thousands of people tens of millions of dollars. And I have fully cooperated with the California Attorney General’s Office over the past few months. As a result, I am very disappointed in their decision to file a complaint, but I look forward to a full and fair airing of this matter in a court of law where my law firm and I will aggressively and vigorously defend the claims against us, and I am absolutely confident we will prevail.
