I had a company prepare my taxes and they actually messed up my paperwork. I was supposed to get a state and federal refund and they messed up the names of my children on the paperwork so now I have to pay $5,000 to the IRS. But the company admits to having made the mistake and are supposedly trying to get this fixed but they have been doing this since Feburary. So I just want to know what kind of lawyer do you need to sue these people so they have to take care of all the fines because it was their mistake.

Hmm, that’s a tricky one. Check to see if the paperwork you signed with them has some kind of language about a guarantee or a promise of accuracy, and if there is, then you might have a case for breach of contract. Either way, you should also contact a tax lawyer, since the IRS is already trying to get an additional $5K out of you for their mistake.

You need a professional malpractice attorney. They can handle all kinds of malpractice, whether it be legal, medical, whatever.
You need to get a lawyer who specializes in general civil trial practice, but you will have a hard time finding a good lawyer for this case because it doesn’t sound like there’s much money involved, and I assume you don’t want to pay an attorney $300 per hour. Instead, you might want to call your state’s office of business regulation to file a complaint. You may have to make a few calls to various state agencies to find out how this particular business is regulated within your state and what agency will investigate the complaint. But, it is worth pursuing because in this way you can put some heat on the company and they may decide to resolve the dispute a little faster.
