Background

About Larry A. Campagna

Over 45+ years, I’ve worked to earn a reputation in the legal and corporate community as an authoritative litigator in business litigation and white-collar criminal defense matters, as well as federal, state and local tax controversies. I’ve worked with corporate and individual clients to resolve thousands of civil and criminal litigation matters, many of which involved sophisticated and complex legal issues that established precedent in courts at the federal, state and local levels. I am privileged to mentor some of the most talented legal minds in Texas, and I am honored to speak nationally on the most pressing legal matters of our day.(You can find 20 years of presentation topics in my website bio!)Highlights of my career include: representing the first taxpayer to be awarded attorneys' fees by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals; serving as lead counsel in one of the largest project cases in the history of the United States Tax Court; and successfully defending one of the world's largest accounting firms in a tax malpractice case. My most significant cases include: In Johnson v. Sawyer, we battled for 15 years against the IRS to obtain damages for the wrongful disclosure of a client’s confidential tax information. The Government eventually paid Mr. Johnson the nation's largest settlement for wrongfully disclosing tax return information. We served as lead counsel in one of the largest project cases in the history of the United States Tax Court, involving petitioners and posing strategic and logistical challenges for both taxpayers and the IRS. We represented over 700 of the taxpayers, negotiating settlements on their behalf as well as generic settlements that could be applied to others with Hillcrest Securities cases.Attorney AdvertisingIt is possible that under the laws, rules, or regulations of certain jurisdictions, this may be construed as an advertisement or solicitation.
