Attorney Fee Dispute — CPA made error on tax return

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

CPA made error on tax return. I've been dealing with this for about 12 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but got conflicting advice.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably the relevant statute, which requires showing actionable.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.

I've dealt with this before.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
