Kevin McCann is not only a fabulous lawyer but an absolutely amazing person in general. He has never let my family down and has continued the hard fight to prove my father’s innocence for the past 3 1/2 years. This man has a strong backbone and a desire to fight for what is right. It took almost 17 years of begging someone to help us to finally be led to the legend that is Kevin McCann. For the rest of my life I will tell everyone I know about this man, how courageous and dedicated he is to helping others. Kevin is the person you want on your side when your life is on the line or you just need someone to stand beside you. Thank you Kevin for everything you’ve done for my father, me and everyone else you have fought for! We are blessed to know you!

Kevin was very helpful from the initial consult to finalizing the case. He explained and represented with professionalism that I thought was lost in the lawyer arena. Our HOA dispute was completed with the best results we could have hoped for. Will use him again for my personal issues - hopefully I never will need him again!

I would highly recommend Mr. McCann for representation in both local and Federal courts. His prior law enforcement experience combined with his extensive understanding of Federal agency interactions provides the kind of depth necessary for sound legal representation in several areas of law.
Mr. McCann handled representation for my family in local courts, represented me personally in employment related issues, and even prepared my will. I have referred multiple clients to him for criminal representation. His personalized attention to his clients is a welcome change from the mid to larger sized firms.

From the first time I talked to Alton, he gave me a feeling of confidence, and that was fully confirmed when I finally met him in person. He's a young man, but there's no doubt in my mind Alton will become a top flight barrister. Throughout my "ordeal", he eagerly answered my calls, I always knew what was going to happen, and he was compassionate when I needed it. He truly earns the moniker "advocate". I saw him with his game face on in court, and it was obvious he was not intimidated by any other presence there. I know I was not his only case, but when I talked to him, he never ... not even once ... gave me the feeling that he wasn't fully laser-focused on my problems. I can't say enough good things about Alton. I pray I never need him again, but if I ever need his expertise, he will be my first choice. You can be sure, if he's your attorney, he will do the best he can to fight for you.

Mr Neil Buchalter saved my son. We were desperate about his situation but Mr. B. came along and took over. Upon reviewing my son's case, he diligently took over and made things happen. I thought it would cost us a fortune but NO. He was very fair, honest with an "open door policy". He never refused to see us he was always there to advise us and give us confidence. His crew is unbelievably professional and capable. If I had to do it over again, it would be NEIL BUCHALTER. No one else. If you want to contact me please ask Mr. B to give you my email as I do not want to disclose my son's name. I recommend Mr. Buchalter with all my heart to anyone in need of his services.

It was late in 2008, I was presented with a tax audit which became very complex. It resulted in owing over 2 million dollars in tax and penalties. What started as a civil audit became a criminal case. I went to various legal firms. I left those offices feeling depressed and despondent when they told me in so many words that my outcome would be federal prison. My depresseion went to despair and at times I felt suicidal. A short time later I was recommended by several attorneys to see Mr. Neil Buchalter. Upon my first visit with Mr. Buchalter I felt a flicker of hope. Within 2 or 3 minutes of crying and trying to explain my situation, this human being came from behind his desk and sat next to me. He gave me a hug and said "Ed, you are going to be OK, I promise you." From that moment I felt that someone cared about my situation and that he was going to do everything in his power to keep me from prision. I felt like a "U-Haul" was just lifted from my back. Mr. Buchalter besides being a credit to his profession is a competent, intelligent professional and compassionate soul. When he took my case, he kept me advised with phone calls, letters and meetings and mostly to make sure I was coping . He reassured me at my weakest moments that everything was coming along. Mr. Buchalter kept his promise and more. I served no time I prison. He worked directly with the IRS and negotiated a very satisfying Installment plan with the IRS. Through Mr, Buchalter's perseverance I have moved on with my life. With no hesitation, I can truthfully say that Neil Buchalter "saved my life". There is absolutely no way that I would have survived this emotionally stressful period of my life with his competence, friendship and faith in God. EW, DDS.

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
- A description of your business and its structure: This will help the lawyer understand your legal needs.
- Any current contracts or agreements: If you're seeking contract advice, bring copies of existing contracts.

- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
- Questions about fees and billing: Ensure you understand the lawyer’s payment structure and fees upfront.
By preparing these materials, you can ensure that your first meeting with a business lawyer is productive and informative.
