Caring and Knowledgeable

Marvin was very helpful in dealing with my situation with the IRS. He helped me work out a good resolution and was very persistent in following up with them. If you want someone who cares about your case and follows up, then he is one.

Top Tax Attorney!

I interviewed a few attorneys prior to meeting with Marvin, but none of them met my expectations besides Marvin. From our first meeting, he made me feel comfortable and let me know even though the process is long that he would be there to fight for me as hard as he could. He did just as promised and ...I couldn't be happier with the results. I would recommend him to anyone who wants an attorney that is compassionate, knowledgeable, and a fighter!

Fabulous Tax Attorney

Marvin Karana was fabulous, he is very respectful, professional and talented tax attorney. My husband and I owed $21,000, to State and $86,000.00 in Federal. Marvin Settled our Mi State tax for $100.00 and Federal (still pending) but expect $50.00. He was referred to me via another Attorney, and s...he was right he is very Good. I would like to add that, when taxes get behind you have a paper nightmare, they are the worst and penalties keep accruing. I was afraid to call them and set up payment arrangements, dealing with such a huge collections company. We hired another Company with the IRS problem, they made it worse. Marvin cut through all the BS and got it done, He always kept me informed. I would recommend highly to anyone. Thanks Marvin..

Satisfied customer

He did a miracle for us. Fully released us front huge state and federal liabilities. It took awhile, but he stayed on the government and got them to send us letters of release for a token offering. We can now start rebuilding a future without the black clouds of debt over every action we do. We highl...y recommend Marvin, don't hesitate to get him involved in your situation. Thanks again Marvin.

Guiadance along the way

Attorney Marvin Karana was referred to me by a friend. From day one he respected and understood my situation. The letters and threats from the I.R.S were overwhelming. I'm a young man who hit a rough patch. I'm not a criminal or out to scam anyone. Attorney Karana understood this and approached my ca...se on a personal level. Attorney Karana made himself available to me which made the situation much less stressful. Mr Karana was able to stop the threats and show the I.R.S my side of the story. He was able to get me a unimaginable deal. The settlement changed my life. Mr Karana was with me every step of the way. Explaining what was going on and our strategy to handling it. I consider Marvin a life long friend and somebody I will definitely look for guidance in the future.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
