McLaughlin Legal, APC

Kevan helped us get out of a potentially terrible outcome with the IRS where we had to submit an audit reconsideration as a result of our CPA providing incorrect guidance during an ongoing audit. We started working with Kevan in Sept 2024 (case resolved Aug 2025) and throughout the process, he clearly answered all of our questions, and gave us peace of mind that we had a good chance of winning our reconsideration while he chased the IRS for us. There's no way we would've been able to navigate this on our own and we're so grateful for Kevan's guidance and expertise here! Highly recommend Kevan's firm for anyone seeking any legal services re: taxes.

After a number of bad experiences with another firm, Mauro and the team at McLaughlin Legal came to my rescue. My experience with them was great - very communicative, transparent, knowledgeable and importantly, no surprises! Would highly recommend giving them a call.

Real person, real review - Attorney Anne Wenger with McLaughlin Legal, APC far exceeded our expectations with regards to preparing my senior mother's estate planning documents. Thorough, professional, understanding and kind. Highly recommended.

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 recently found myself confused over a few tax questions. I was immediately impressed by the kind and professional team at this firm when I called in. I especially want to thank Ayla, the CPA, for patiently listening and answering my questions, even as I was rambling in a state of panic. While I didn't need legal services this time, my pleasant experience has shown me exactly where to turn if I ever do!

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. HJS

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.
