Genevieve in Missouri and Nashville in Tennessee, Drury has positioned himself as a leading attorney for IRS tax resolution issues. He is able to evaluate every client’s unique situation and provide them with honest answers and a specific plan to best resolve their tax problems.Drury is a graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia with a bachelor degree in Political Science with a minor in Economics. He received his Juris Doctor from the Southern Illinois University, School of Law-Carbondale, and his Masters in Business Administration from Washington University- St. Louis. He began working as a private practice attorney in 1994 and now specializes in federal tax resolution. He is a member of the Better Business Bureau, Chamber of Commerce, Missouri Bar Association, and the United States Tax Court.
Drury has developed a multi-step process to help his clients resolve their tax problems. He begins with a personal interview to thoroughly understand the issue the client faces. The interview provides the background needed to develop an appropriate strategy to resolve the issue. The client will be asked to sign a Power of Attorney to allow Drury to act on their behalf. When this document is signed, all future telephone calls from the IRS will then be directed to Drury’s office rather than the client being plagued with the calls. With the Power of Attorney, Drury is also able to obtain all transcripts of the client’s tax accounts. By reviewing the tax transcripts, he will be able to determine the perspective the IRS has regarding the client’s tax situation.
Drury gives his clients an easy-to-follow checklist to guide them in gathering information they will need to provide to him. After receiving the client’s information, he compares the tax transcripts with the client’s actual situation. With all the information at hand, he is able to determine the most appropriate strategy to help the client resolve their tax problem. Since preparing IRS tax forms is often complicated, he will prepare all the necessary documentation to submit to the IRS. Drury has streamlined the process of information collection to make it as easy as possible for his clients. After all the forms are prepared, Drury will go over them with his client to make sure all the information is accurate. After the verification process, the client will sign the documents, and Drury will take care of the submission process and communicate directly with the IRS on behalf of the client.
