About

I am a tax attorney who specializes in estate planning, business transactions, tax planning and tax issues before the IRS.I attended Arizona State University and graduated with a B.S. in Business Finance, Summa Cum Laude.After working as an executive assistant and a business manager, I went back to school at the University of Denver to obtain my J.D. and my LL.M. in taxation, simultaneously. I was inducted into the Order of Saint Ives for graduating in the upper 10% of my law class, received the Sturm College of Law Scholarship, Schramm Scholarship, Graduate Tax Program Scholarship, and the Colorado Bar Association Section of Taxation Scholarship. My colleagues also voted me the most outstanding Masters Student for obtaining dual degrees while acting as an inspiration to my peer group. Additionally, I participated in the Law Student Tax Challenge and finished second in the Nation.After graduating, I acted as the Assistant Director of the University of Denver Graduate Tax Program’s Low Income Taxpayer Clinic while teaching Research and Writing, Estate and Gift Taxation, and Property Transactions in the Graduate Tax Program.I taught continuing education seminars for tax attorneys and tax professionals both locally and nationally including classes on Estate and Gift Taxation, Estate Planning, Offers in Compromise, Tax Research, Individual Taxation, Fiduciary Taxation, Corporate Taxation, and Partnership Taxation. My practice focuses on tax controversy; estate, succession, business, and tax planning. Born into a family of small business owners, I enjoy working with individuals and small business owners and businesses. I can offer assistance from start to finish, if necessary, and every step along the way. I may practice before the United States Tax Court.

Alicia was recommended by my CPA when she saw what a mess I had gotten into with the IRS and the State of Colorado. She immediately assured me that we could deal with this, explained the options and set to work on my situation. I was impressed by her professionalism and her clear understanding of the laws, options and best strategy, and how quickly I started seeing results. If you have tax problems, this is the lawyer you need!

I was a student in a graduate level Estate and Gift tax course which Alicia taught while I attended the University of Denver's Graduate Tax Program. I have been a licensed CPA for over 20 years. I was very impressed with Alicia's level of knowledge and professionalism. She truly has a passion for tax law and I have referred clients to her in the past and will continue to refer clients to her in the future.

I recently moved to colorado and needed a complete review and restatement of my revocable trust and other supporting documents ie healthcare power of attorney,etc. After my initial experience with another lawyer proved to be quite unsatisfactory, my finical advisor recommended Alicia. We worked together this fall and I found Alicia to be thoughtful and very knowledgeable. I especially appreciated her patience and willingness to explain different options and ways that we might accomplish what I wanted to achieve through the various documents. The entire process proved to be quite seamless and very efficient. I trust Alicia completely and highly recommend her to anyone needing legal help with estate planning.

We are a non-profit skilled nursing facility considering a joint venture with a for-profit entity. Alicia Buckingham was the second lawyer we contacted because the issue proved to be very complex; too much so for the first attorney. Alicia explained the nuances of the situation in terms I could understand and gave us a number of options to choose from. She also gave us the pros and cons of each option. I really enjoyed working with her and was very impressed with her kmowledge and her ability to meet our needs. I would give her my highest recommendation!

I don't know anyone currently that is looking for a tax attorney, but if I did then I would tell them to look no further than Alicia Buckingham. I could tell you what she has done for me and my wife's case but I don't think you would believe me and frankly it sounds too good to be true even to myself. Even if the outcome wasn't as promising as it is, the professional manner in which she handled our case for us was miles better than any other attorney we have used. Simply put ... Alicia is the best.

I worked with Alicia and I would recommend her as an attorney. She cares about her clients, she works hard for her clients, and she does an excellent job of communicating with her clients, making sure that they understand what is going on with their case as well as making sure to answer any questions that her clients ask or even anticipating some questions that her clients may not know to ask, but that she knows from experience that they may need answered. She works hard to help you achieve the goals of your case and she applies her knowledge and expertise to provide the most relevant advice to your situation.

My wife and I had a couple of tax issues a little over three years ago where the IRS claimed that we owed a significant amount of money. Fortunately, we turned to Alicia Buckingham for help. She was very knowledgeable and expertly guided us through the "system" so that we ended up only paying a nominal amount of tax on something that we legitimately missed on our return, while the issue with the large amount was completely dropped by the IRS. Needless to say, she did an excellent job representing us in our case.

Alicia and her partner John prepared wills and gave my wife and I patient advice and guidance regarding our estate and financial planning, We asked a lot of questions, and they gave good answers, and we felt they were truly concerned with our outcome. They quoted us a price for the service, spent a lot of time with us and we never felt rushed or hurried so they could make more money. Alicia is a very caring person and worked to meet a short time deadline we had. Best of all, they both like dogs, as we do. Felt like friends.
