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.

Has your back

Marvin is an incredible attorney. He has helped my husband and I with IRS issues that has plagued us for the past several years. He responds immediately and has helped ease our minds with results that we are more than pleased with. I would go to Marvin and his practice for just about any legal mat...ter because I trust him enough to guide me in the right direction!

Anita

Marvin was great!!! I was working with a different attorney for over 2 years and that attorney was a waste of time and money. I owed over $90,000 in taxes and when I came to Marvin, he took care of the balance in less than 3 months! That’s what u call someone who takes care of his clients and doesn’t... give u a run around. He was there with all my questions and concerns anytime of the day! I highly recommend him if you need someone who cares not just for himself but for his clients!

Tax Resolution

My husband and I sought Mr. Karana's expertise to resolve an issue with our State and Federal Taxes. The first thing that struck me was that he did his best to calm my anxiety and fears. It was a terrifying situation for me and I was feeling quite defeated. The services he offered were always very... professional with the added advice to help us address our situation. He was always in contact with us and answered all questions and concerns promptly (even in the evening and on weekends). We have reached a resolution, thanks to Mr. Karana and are very pleased with the outcome. We would highly recommend Mr. Karana and appreciate his expertise and excellent service. Thank you, 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.

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.
