I wrote a report for each case and delivered to the IRS.  In 2000 I was involved in one of the first prefiling cases for the IRS and my work was quoted in the Wall Street Journal in December 2000 and was commended by both the IRS and the Taxpayer at a major conference in February 2001. I also served as a consultant to the Department of Justice Lawyers in March 2001.
