Re: Finding legal council for a (US) poker player
I am an attorney in the US. At this point, thanks mostly to self study, I believe I know as much about the legal status of poker in the US as any attorney out in Las Vegas. I charge $200 an hour, and would be happy to answer any of your legal questions [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. You can PM me if you are interested.
I know only the basics of tax law, however, and that primarily has to do with the criminal aspects of taxes (evasion and fraud).
An accountant (certified CPA), who will likely charge you about $5-600 to do everything tax related you need, is an expert in all the little tax details. And you dont need one from Las Vegas either, local is much better.
Of course, in these days of the internet, self education is quite possible.
Its your choice, but the smart choice seems obvious to me (and it doesnt involve a PM).
