About Us

HodgenLaw PC focuses on U.S. international tax matters for individuals and businesses dealing with cross-border activity. Our work centers on helping clients understand and manage tax obligations that arise when moving into or out of the United States, investing internationally, or maintaining compliance across jurisdictions.

We operate as a combined team of tax lawyers and accountants, working together on each matter. This allows us to address planning, structuring, and filings within one coordinated approach. We focus on clarity, especially in areas of U.S. tax law that are often complex or misunderstood.

With decades of front-line experience, we have developed a practical understanding of how the IRS approaches cross-border tax issues. We translate that experience into guidance that clients can apply directly to their situation.

Our Services

We provide cross-border tax planning for multinational families and service-based businesses with U.S. exposure. This includes structuring investments into and out of the United States, U.S. real estate structuring, and assisting with the creation and correction of foreign trusts.

We also advise on immigration and emigration tax matters. This includes U.S. expatriation, initial tax planning for individuals entering the U.S. tax system, and handling both initial and remedial tax return filings during transitions.

Our team regularly works on complex tax return matters, including multi-year filings, streamlined procedures, and trust tax reporting. A significant part of our work involves bringing clients back into compliance and resolving prior filing issues.

Meet Our Team

Our team includes tax lawyers and accountants who work together at the same table to solve client problems. This structure allows us to approach each matter from both a legal and accounting perspective without disconnects between advice and execution.

Phil Hodgen, Attorney and Principal, has served as Chair of the International Tax Committee of the State Bar of California’s Tax Section and has been actively involved in professional committees and conferences within the tax field.

Debra Rudd and William Shiraga focus on tax accounting, including expatriation planning and multi-year tax return matters. The wider team supports both client-facing work and internal operations to maintain a consistent standard across all engagements.

Our Credentials

Our leadership has been actively involved in the State Bar of California’s Tax Section, including committee leadership and executive roles. This involvement reflects direct engagement with the development and discussion of U.S. tax law.

Members of our team hold advanced degrees in taxation and accounting, including graduate-level qualifications focused on tax law and compliance. This supports the technical work required for cross-border planning and reporting.

We also contribute to ongoing industry discussion through regular publications and speaking engagements, sharing analysis on international tax issues and IRS-related matters.
