Re: [taxchat] Battling paralegal client

Ditto. As an EA you have the right to practice Tax Law in every providence in which the US IRS is recognized without having to report to that state bar when you arrive.

And ESPECIALLY as an Enrolled Agent -- you ARE licensed to practice before the Tax Court and represent clients there !!!  Maybe you could send him a definition and remind him what an E.A. is.  http://www.irs.gov/taxpros/agents/article/0,,id=100710,00.html

Subject: [taxchat] Battling paralegal client

I've been fighting with a paralegal over money he owes me for
bookkeeping services. I've posted this message before but the plot is
beginning to thicken. Upon his request I resent him copies of all the
work I did for him. He has now faxed me a letter stating that I'm
crossing the line of practicing law and he referred to an agreement
that he and I originally signed. The agreement consists of 12 topics.
Under Topic 8 titled Tax Plannig I stated that I would advise him of
any laws affecting his business. I'm referring to Tax Law but he claims
otherwise and questions my authority to practice law. Of course I'm no
lawyer but as an Enrolled Agent I feel I'm within my rights wording it
the way I did under "Tax Planning". Does anyone feel I'm within my
legal rights or does this guy really have a case?
