| Paul Chappell |
 |
A resident of Fredericksburg, Virginia, Mr. Chappell has been a
member of the bar of the State of Maryland since 1954. He became
interested in the subject of federal taxation when he was sent by
a local law firm to
Capitol Hill to cover House Ways and Means
and Senate Finance Committee hearings in drafting
the 1954 Internal Revenue Code. After some
17 years of government experience serving first
as a clerk to a Tax Court judge and subsequently
in the office of Chief Counsel of Internal
Revenue he entered private practice in 1973.
He has had an active practice which majored
and emphasized federal tax cases, representing
taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service
and in the federal courts for approximately
28 years. He became very much interested in
the last two years in the subject of Internal
Revenue Service procedural matters. His major
concern has risen over such matters as violations
of IRS regulations by the service; violations
of statutory requirements by the IRS; disregard
of their own math and records system; manipulation
of data on the IRS master record system; ignoring
statutory requirements for making proper assessment
of taxes; the ignoring of requirements for
collection matters such as the enforcement
of IRS liens, levies and property seizures;
and also a great deal of concern about the
current trend toward abusive searches and seizures.
