My Review of Christopher Larson

I was referred to Chris Larson by a former client of his who selected him to represent her. I found Chris to be extremely effective in his communication & negotiation with IRS and my unpaid tax issues. He quickly followed up with me when I called him for updates on my case (now successfully concluded...) In my opinion, Chris is the best tax attorney in the state of Washington and I very highly recommend him

Very Knowledgeable

Chris helped me solve a problem with form 3520 with the IRS. He is very knowledgeable of how the IRS operates and was very honest on what i should expect from the beginning. He also charged me a quarter of what other attorneys wanted to charge me. I never had an issue trying to reach him either and a...lways answered my questions in a reassuring manner.

A Great Balance of Everything Needed In My Situation

I first came across Christopher Larson and Insight Law in 2011. I was a young entrepreneur who had made some past mistakes that compounded over time. I had no idea what to do or how to handle my issue and felt helpless. Upon my first conversation with Chris he did a great job at educating me on my op...tions and how to pursue them. He calmed my nerves and we began the process of addressing and solving my issue. I was ultimately granted an offer due to his efforts, expertise and guidance. In addition to the desired outcome I was amazed at his availability and service during the entire process. When I called someone always answered and my needs/questions were taken care of. His attentiveness to my questions and concerns were always met. His matter of fact approach, decisive attitude and knowledge of his specialty all contributed to the desired outcome and a pleased and satisfied client in me. I would recommend Mr. Christopher Larson and Insight Law to anyone needed his specialty services. Thanks Chris!

No More Letters or Phone Calls...Happy Again

had a complex tax issue with the IRS. Chris was responsive and professional. His knowlege base and experience in dealing wiht them is second to none. He answered all my questions and his strategy was on point. I would say that if you have to deal with the IRS, do not do it alone. Contact Insigh...t Law. They will help you navigate, which I am sure is a stressful time in your life and negotiate on your behalf the best possible outcome. I am so pleased with my results and recomend them with the higest of praise.

"Chris is a top notch Tax Law attorney. A good tax lawyer needs to know not just the law but also needs a deep accounting background (what I call a "numbers" knowledge) and Chris has that. From an excellent law school and with the recommendation of former clients and endorsements from attorneys who know him too, if you want to see how much he knows about the law, just read some of the way-over-a-thousand of his published answers to questions at Avvo.com. When you want the best Tax Lawyer around, you need to call Chris. It's as simple as that."

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.
