We represented the pastor of a religious organization in regard to not paying taxes on his salary earned serving his congregation. There was concern regarding how it may look to the parishioners if there pastor was having his salary levied by the Internal Revenue Service. We were able to work with the pastor, and the Internal Revenue Service, and avoid any criminal action, as well as avoid any negative publicity and the pastor was able to maintain his reputation with the congregation.
