I recently had a tax issue with the IRS. I called McCutchen McLean and they were able to fit me in quickly. They sat down with me, reviewed all the documents, listened to my concerns, and gave me wonderful advice as to how to fix the issue. They were friendly and understanding. Now my tax issue is resolved, taking a huge weight off my mind. The service, hospitality, knowledge, and professionalism were outstanding!
