THE
UNDERGOUND LAWYER
By Michael Minns
Professional Reviews
The Underground Lawyer...is the best legal training currently available short of Law School. The author’s sportsmanlike standards carry over to the book. One of the most respected legal minds, and perhaps one of the few honest lawyers in the nation. Easily read and understood.”
Paul DeFosses, CPA, author of IRS Target and IRS: Agency Out of Control & Self-Employed and a former IRS agent and Former President of the IRS Whistle Blowers of America
“Michael Minns writes with a boldness that will inspire the reader as well as instruct him. This volume (is) destined to become a classic for those who love liberty.”
Vern Holland, legal researcher, author of The Law that Always Was and national lecturer
“The case studies outlined in this book should make you angry, and determined to change a system that has made us a much poorer country, and wrecked such havoc on the lives and liberties of so many good Americans.”
Ron Paul, MD – United States Congressman, 14th District
“The Underground Lawyer…long overdue…crammed full of compassion, satire and humor, while giving the reader a peek into the corrupt cesspool we laymen label "The Law". I know several honest lawyers, and Michael Minns may be the best of the lot…someone had to speak out first -- and now he has!”
A.J. Lowery, Editor in Chief, The Justice Times, national civil liberty magazine
“When you box, you wear a metal cup to protect yourself from low blows. This book will be your metal cup to protect you against legal low blows.”
M.E. Brown, Associate Chief – Arson Department, Houston, Texas and former middleweight boxing champion of Texas
HOW
TO SURVIVE THE IRS: MY BATTLES WITH GOLIATH
By: Michael Louis Minns
From Publishers Weekly
"IRS agents lie, commit crimes, and destroy
families," maintains attorney Michael Minns
(The Underground Lawyer), who would like to see
our federal tax-collecting institution disbanded.
In How to Survive the IRS: My Battles Against
Goliath, which features a preface by U.S. Rep.
Ron Paul (who has voted for the abolition of the
IRS), Minns provides a brief history of taxation
in the U.S., urges radical reform and memorably
recounts his confrontations with the IRS on behalf
of clients. The most practical part of this inflammatory
and informative work is the description of 100
tax secrets, which may help offset the book's
substantial cover price. 15-city author tour.

Professional Reviews
"Working in the tradition of the framers
is attorney Michael Louis Minns. He has defended
many Americans against the depredations of the
tax police, and argued for a fair and constitutional
system in place of the personal income tax."
Ron Paul, MD – United States Congressman, 14th District
"Tax-and-Spend Members of Congress and their
shrill media allies proclaim that 'tax cheating'
is rampant and on the rise because of recent IRS
reforms. Michael Minns provides prima facie evidence
against those who would like to make us think
we've gone 'too far' in trying to rein in IRS
abuse and change the way we tax our citizens."
John Berthoud, President, National Taxpayers
Union
"In a criminal tax case the government claims
it wins 97% of the time. One lawyer, Michael Minns,
leaves the field behind defending taxpayers against
the IRS. Winning 90% of the time. His record is
so good there is no second place. How To Survive
the IRS gives you the inside story."
Paul DeFosses, CPA, author of IRS Target and IRS: Agency Out of Control & Self-Employed and a former IRS agent and Former President of the IRS Whistle Blowers of America
"If you are accused of a tax crime, and you
don't have Michael Minns or this book, pack your
toothbrush, and tell the family you're going to
be a guest of the Feds for a while."
C. Collis Redd, EA 1999-2000 CPE Chair, National Association of Enrolled Agents
