McLaughlin Legal, APC

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 chose Kevan after thorough research and consultations, impressed by his academic background

She advised me on how to take title to new accounts I open in the future, and what my brother needs to do when I pass.
