GOING GLOBAL?
YOUR U.S. OBLIGATIONS GO WITH YOU.
You crossed borders.
The law came with you.
“Do I still owe U.S. taxes?”
“What happens to my Social Security?”
“Does my will hold up abroad?”
“Why was my Global Entry revoked?”
“Can they freeze my foreign accounts?”
Most U.S. lawyers don’t get it.
Most foreign advisors can’t handle U.S. law.
Your life is global.
Your legal counsel should be, too.
Expat Legal. Built for lives that don’t fit in one country.
Meet Parviz
Former Tax Prosecutor
My legal career began at the U.S. Attorney’s Office, where as a federal law clerk, I helped prosecute human trafficking and white-collar crimes—including criminal tax evasion, money laundering, and wire fraud.
I then joined the State of California to prosecute civil tax cases and co-led California's tax residency enforcement program, focusing on individuals who misrepresented their residency to avoid state taxes. I handled cases involving tech founders, celebrities, and high-net-worth individuals, and served as a subject matter expert on interstate and international tax issues.
After several years representing the government, I was recruited by PwC New York to develop legal strategies for global clients investing in U.S. real estate. There, I worked extensively with international tax treaties and structured cross-border investments for institutional investors and sovereign wealth funds.
Having lived abroad myself, I know firsthand the challenges U.S. citizens and Green Card holders face navigating expat tax and legal obligations. That insight shapes how I guide clients through the complexities of compliance, disputes, and cross-border income, asset, and estate planning.
Today, my practice focuses on helping Americans at home and overseas protect their income from global double taxation, their assets from lawsuits, and their beneficiaries from conflicting foreign inheritance laws.
Expat law isn't just a specialty—it's a lived experience.

PRACTICE AREAS
INTERNATIONAL FINANCES & LEGAL ADVISORY
Relocating Abroad As A U.S. or Dual Citizen
Relocating abroad should open doors—not trigger tax penalties, estate issues, or compliance risks.
As a U.S. or dual citizen, you’re still on the hook: annual taxes. Foreign pension traps. Conflicting inheritance laws. We map it out before you move—so your finances, estate, and obligations stay aligned across borders. A smooth transition isn’t luck. It’s strategy.
"Accidental Americans" Living Abroad
You didn’t choose U.S. citizenship—but it chose you. Born abroad to American parents. Raised overseas after a U.S. birth. Now the IRS wants answers. Years of unfiled tax returns. Unreported accounts. Unexpected penalties.
We help Accidental Americans—those who never knew they were U.S. citizens—clean things up: discreetly, correctly, and without panic. Peace of mind shouldn’t hinge on paperwork you never knew you owed.
Foreign Nationals Physically Present In The U.S.
A few days over the limit. One missed detail. Now the IRS thinks you live here. We fix that.
For international students, snowbirds, and global travelers—we resolve U.S. tax residency issues before they become U.S. tax residency problems. Minimize exposure. Avoid double taxation. Stay compliant—without the panic. Because visiting shouldn’t mean owing.
U.S. & Dual Citizens At Home With Foreign Accounts And International Assets
Americans abroad and at home aren’t just working—they’re building. Businesses. Real estate portfolios. Lives.
But every cross-border move carries legal and tax consequences. We help you plan for them, structure around them, and stay ahead of them. Because if your life spans borders, your legal strategy should, too.
Green Card Holders With Foreign Accounts And International Assets
Welcome to your new American life—but don’t forget what came with it. A Green Card isn’t just a visa. It’s a tax obligation. Annual U.S. returns. Foreign bank disclosures. Big penalties if you miss them.
Your immigration lawyer got you in. We make sure you stay compliant. New beginnings deserve clear paths, not legal surprises.
Foreign Nationals Abroad Investing In The U.S.
You’re abroad. But your portfolio crosses into U.S. territory. Real estate. Funds. Private deals.
Every move opens a door—and a risk. The U.S. tax net is wide. One wrong step can trigger estate tax, audits, or permanent exposure. We design clean, compliant structures that hold up under scrutiny—
and hold value across generations.
Invest globally. Move precisely.
LEGAL & TAX DEFENSE
Foreign Bank & Asset Reporting Problems
Privacy isn’t a loophole. It’s a right—with rules. We help you protect your financial life—discreetly, legally, and without missteps. Foreign accounts. Offshore structures. Properly reported. Strategically designed. Privacy should feel like protection, not exposure.
Tax Audit & Controversy Problems
One accountant’s mistake. Now the IRS is at your door. Expat tax errors are common—and costly.
We step in when things go wrong. Former tax prosecutors, now on your side. Fast resolution. Clean records. Peace of mind restored. Your future shouldn’t hinge on someone else’s oversight.
