Kevan helped us navigate a backup withholding issue with the IRS. The process took nearly two years due to the IRS’ incredibly slow processing and response timeframes, but Kevan diligently followed up, and in the end we owed nothing to the IRS - a very happy result! Kevan is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, answering all of our questions and expertly guiding us through a process that would’ve been very intimidating and complex to try to handle alone. I can’t recommend Kevan enough!

I am incredibly grateful to Kevan for his exceptional work in resolving an unfair civil penalty issued by the IRS for late reporting of cash gifts I received from my parents abroad—a requirement I was unaware of when filing my taxes. Even though no tax was due on these gifts, the IRS imposed a hefty penalty in the tens of thousands, and the resolution process dragged on for more than three years after we appealed. I chose Kevan after thorough research and consultations, impressed by his academic background and expertise in complex cases. His unwavering belief in my case was what kept me motivated, even when others suggested simply paying the penalty. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, and much to my surprise, the IRS ultimately abated the penalty entirely. I highly recommend Kevan to anyone facing similar challenges.

Mauro does our taxes yearly, as a military family living out of our state of residency our taxes can get confusing. He has helped tremendously over the past few years.

Kevan McLaughlin expertly helped me out of a back tax situation a decade ago, and he did it professionally, reasonably, and with celerity. I've since hired him to do my taxes every year. He's fantastic. I would never work with a CPA again. Highly recommended on all levels, from his communication skills to his work to the lawyer himself.

As the owner of my own law firm you can imagine my level of expectations when I had
to find a law firm to assist me with a random IRS 8300 inspection. I was overwhelmed with the amount of documents and information I had to prepare for the examination. Kevan made it seamless and assured me all the way through. We were able to handle all the IRS inquirers one at a time, while maintaining my own clients’ privacy issues. Kevan was always available to me, he was honorable, hardworking and diligent. The IRS inspection took a good amount of time but I never was over-billed. The end result a simple letter and a fine of less than $300. I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend.

Kevan provided us with excellent and positive advice on how to handle our recent IRS audit. His skills and expertise in all things legally tax-related is helpful plus reassuring. After our initial consultation, we don't know why we didn't contact him sooner as he provided much needed relief from our audit anxiety. Therefore, we HIGHLY recommend him for any previous or on-going tax issues that you may encounter.

Kevan McLaughlin and his staff were referred to me in a matter that was leading from IRS audit to federal court. Despite the joyful matter of it being dismissed by the IRS and Kevan’s services not now required my interactions with he and his staff were truly professional and service oriented. His associate Robyn Coltrane was particularly helpful and prompt in answering my questions and supplying information I needed as we started this process. I would certainly retain Kevan’s services should the need ever arise again and highly recommend them.
