About Jeni L
Jeni L Roberts built a steady career in tax law after earning her J.D. from DePaul College of Law in 2014. She has concentrated on tax controversy and litigation for much of her career. Colleagues describe her as methodical in court and deliberate in written work. She combines courtroom practice with counseling that aims to resolve disputes before they escalate to trial.
Roberts is admitted to practice in Illinois and before the United States Tax Court. Those credentials shape much of her day-to-day work. She represents individuals and businesses in audits, administrative appeals, and tax litigation. Her filings in tax court and agency proceedings reflect frequent handling of procedural and substantive tax issues.
Her role as a senior lawyer at Tax Law Offices places her on the front line of complex client matters. In that position she drafts pleadings, argues motions, prepares witnesses, and negotiates settlements. The title reflects a career path marked by increasing responsibility for case strategy and supervising more junior lawyers. Her work requires balancing deadline-driven litigation tasks with longer-term tax planning conversations when clients request them.
Roberts’s approach to cases is practical. She outlines choices for clients, weighs the risks of litigation against the costs of settlement, and tracks the administrative steps that can affect statute-of-limitations issues. She also spends time preparing detailed briefs and exhibits that judges and agency officials rely on when evaluating disputes.
She maintains an active membership in the State Bar of Illinois. That affiliation keeps her connected to local practice developments and bar education programs. It also provides a forum for exchanging ideas about recent tax rulings and procedural shifts that affect the handling of cases in both state and federal venues.
Outside of hearings and filings, Roberts advises clients on compliance and documentation practices intended to reduce audit risk. Her practice covers both individual tax matters and those of small to mid-size businesses. She often works with accountants and financial advisors to coordinate responses to examinations and collection actions.
She continues to serve at Tax Law Offices, where she supervises litigation matters and meets with clients on contested tax issues. She currently concentrates her practice on tax litigation and representation before the United States Tax Court and state tax matters.
