Who Am I?

Anthony N. Verni
ATTORNEY AT LAW, J.D., CPA, MBA
I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of New Jersey, the United States Tax Court, the U.S. District Courts, and I am also a Certified Public Accountant, and an MBA
For over 25 years, I have independently led my practice with a quiet commitment to thoughtful analysis, disciplined work, and professional integrity. The firm reflects the way I work: deliberate, disciplined, and fully committed to every case I take on.
I have offices in Princeton, New Jersey, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and I provide U.S. tax problem case resolution to individuals and business owners both locally and internationally.
My practice isn’t built on volume. It’s built on careful thought, clear direction, and individual attention.

I regularly speak on global IRS enforcement and offshore disclosure.

Listen as I share insights on worldwide tax enforcement trends and what they mean for U.S. taxpayers with offshore accounts.

Is the IRS Investigating You for Criminal Tax Fraud?

Many taxpayers don’t realize there’s a critical difference between a civil tax audit and a criminal tax investigation. Civil cases focus on recovering unpaid taxes, interest, and civil penalties. Criminal cases are about punishment; they carry the risk of felony charges, prison time, and lasting reputational damage
  • IRS agents identify themselves as part of the Criminal Investigation Division (CID).
  • You receive a subpoena, search warrant, or formal summons.
  • Investigators contact you directly, bypassing your accountant or tax preparer.
  • You’re asked detailed questions about your intent or knowledge, not just your numbers.
  • There’s evidence of parallel investigations, for example, a civil audit and a criminal inquiry happening at the same time.

Who do I Represent?

  • Individual taxpayers dealing with complex IRS issues
  • U.S. expatriates and dual nationals with cross-border tax concerns
  • Trusts and estates requiring fiduciary tax guidance
  • Business entities facing federal or international tax exposure
  • Foreign financial institutions dealing with FATCA and compliance matters
  • Trade associations with specialized reporting obligations
  • Professional entertainers with unique income and residency challenges
  • Tax professionals involved in disciplinary proceedings before the IRS

U.S. taxpayers around the world trust Verni Tax Law

The reasons are clear

Deep experience across tax law

I bring over 25 years of focused experience handling complex federal tax matters, including compliance, enforcement, and litigation.

Dual qualifications

With my qualifications as a licensed attorney, Certified Public Accountant, and MBA, I combine legal, financial, and business insight in every case.

Personally handled cases

I personally review and manage every matter to ensure clear judgment, continuity, and disciplined representation.

Clear understanding of global enforcement strategy

I bring insight into IRS attaché activity, FATCA regulations, and international cooperation efforts that impact U.S. taxpayers with foreign accounts.

Trusted by U.S. taxpayers and expatriates worldwide

I regularly advise U.S. citizens living abroad, dual nationals, foreign account holders, and others with cross-border reporting responsibilities.

Deep understanding of IRS enforcement beyond taxes

The IRS now handles non-tax matters like foreign accounts, healthcare mandates, and large cash transactions, often triggering audits or extra disclosures in tax cases. I help clients by preparing accurate filings, responding to notices, and staying ahead of compliance requirements.

Proven track record in offshore disclosure

Since 2009, I’ve represented clients through the OVDP, through its key phases in 2011, 2012, and 2014, until it closed in 2018. With FATCA and global reporting in place, voluntary compliance is more vital than ever.

My practice adheres to the highest Regulatory and Ethical Frameworks.

I maintain strict compliance with

State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct
AICPA Standards for Tax Services
Data Protection & Client Confidentiality Standards
FBAR/FinCEN Reporting Requirements
FATCA Compliance Protocols
Treasury Department Circular 230

Anthony was creative in helping me resolve some past issues in a way that they never became a problem so that is greatly appreciated and I feel confident I can now enjoy my retirement with peace of mind. Thanks for that.

Ken B.

I came to Anthony Verni with FBAR issues. I was not sure what to expect and felt that I was going to be put in a difficult position financially as well as legally. My fears were unfounded and I was very satisfied with his professionalism and the outcome of my case.

Douglas R.

Anthony’s help with Swift & Secure Systems Inc., CheckWare Workstations LLC and my personal taxes have been of great value. Since moving to Florida (and my Connecticut Accountant retiring) I have tried various other methods of keeping the accounting and taxes under control.

Phil Y

President, Swift & Secure Systems Inc., Boynton Beach, FL

I would like to thank Anthony N. Verni.   Mr. Verni has successfully represented us before the Internal Revenue Service. We had foreign bank accounts that we inadvertently didn’t report and we were subject to steep penalties. As a result his efforts, the FBAR penalties were waived by the IRS.
Thank You

Frequently Asked Questions

As both an attorney and CPA with an MBA, I offer a rare combination of legal, accounting, and business expertise that most tax resolution firms cannot provide. Unlike other firms, I personally handle every case from start to finish. My boutique practice approach ensures meticulous attention to detail and customized strategies based on your specific risk profile, rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions.

I represent individual taxpayers, trusts and estates, business entities, foreign financial institutions, trade associations, and professional entertainers. My boutique practice is committed to developing and implementing meaningful domestic and international tax strategies that yield maximum tax savings while minimizing risk.

Living in Thailand or any international location won’t limit your access to quality representation. I offer flexible scheduling for consultations, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends, to accommodate your local time. All meetings can be conducted via secure video conferencing, and I can represent you before the IRS without requiring your physical presence in the United States.

Yes, as a US taxpayer, you generally must report financial accounts that your foreign businesses maintain if you have signature authority or financial interest in those accounts and if the aggregate value exceeds $10,000 at any point during the year. I can help by:

  • Conducting a comprehensive review of your global business structure
  • Identifying all reportable accounts across your multiple businesses
  • Preparing the necessary FBAR filings
  • Addressing any past non-compliance through appropriate disclosure programs
  • Creating a sustainable compliance strategy for future years

I offer flexible consultation scheduling to accommodate clients worldwide. Initial consultations typically last 45-60 minutes and can be conducted by phone, secure video conference, or in person at my Princeton or Fort Lauderdale offices. 

To schedule, you can call directly at (561) 531-8809 or use the secure contact form on my website. All consultations are confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege.

These complex cases require a multi-faceted approach. I’ll first assess whether you qualify for the Streamlined Filing Procedures or need to pursue other disclosure options. Then I’ll develop a comprehensive strategy that addresses both issues simultaneously, ensuring all filings are consistent. 

My experience with the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program since 2009 provides valuable insight into how the IRS approaches these cases, allowing me to anticipate challenges and develop effective responses that minimize penalties while bringing you into full compliance.

My approach to tax dispute resolution is distinguished by three key elements:

  1. Comprehensive analysis: I conduct an exhaustive review of your financial documentation and tax history before developing any strategy, often revealing options and defenses that might otherwise be overlooked.
  2. Strategic negotiation: Rather than taking an adversarial stance with tax authorities, I focus on collaborative problem-solving when possible, which has repeatedly resulted in favorable settlements.
  3. Direct attorney involvement: I personally handle every aspect of your representation, ensuring that the expertise you’re paying for is actually applied to your case at every stage of the process.
