McLaughlin Legal Boutique Tax and Estate Law Firm in San Diego, CA Our two complementary practice areas is one of McLaughlin Legal‘s distinguishing factors.

McLaughlin Legal helps individuals and businesses with all types of Federal and California tax disputes, and in building detailed tax and estate plans for peace of mind. While many San Diego tax attorneys and San Diego tax law firms handle tax planning, far fewer San Diego tax attorneys defend taxpayers in civil and criminal tax controversies. Unlike other boutique tax firms, McLaughlin Legal advises individuals, families, and businesses in tax and estate planning matters (including drafting wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and more), but also has extensive experience in both civil and criminal tax litigation. In this way, McLaughlin Legal compliments its estate and tax planning practice by knowing full well the consequences of poor or no tax planning. Conversely, McLaughlin Legal does not simply put a bandage on a tax dispute like other tax litigation firms. By drawing on our tax and estate planning practice, we are able to resolve a tax dispute, but then address and fix the issues that gave rise to the underlying case. This allows McLaughlin Legal to represent clients who have tax problems with the IRS or a California tax agency, but also advise on other tax law issues with a perspective not found elsewhere. McLaughlin Legal’s ultimate goal is to ensure our clients’ rights are protected, they enjoy tax efficient endeavors, and they preserve their wealth while achieving greater family or business goals.
