experienced in both civil and criminal tax litigation, but he has been helping clients disclose their overseas
assets to the IRS since the very first OVDP program. Thorn Law Group is the place to go with all complicated tax
matters."
"Thorn Law Group is the place to go with questions about the IRS' Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program. Kevin
E. Thorn is a former IRS attorney, which means he has the insider knowledge to help clients get the best
possible results. If you are considering OVDP it is best to speak with someone like Mr.Thorn. I was impressed
with the service at this firm."
"Thorn Law Group and Mr. Thorn in particular did a fantastic job in explaining and advising on how my family
could properly disclose an offshore account. I would highly recommend Mr. Thorn to anyone with sensitive and
complicated international account disclosures."
"Thorn Law Group, led by founding tax attorney Kevin E. Thorn, is unparalleled in its expertise on complicated
international and domestic tax issues. They are sought after to provide counsel and guide taxpayers on
complicated tax matters not only in the DC metro area, but around the world! I highly recommend contacting them
if you need legal tax help."

without a doubt the most exceptional tax attorneys in the DC Metro area!"
"The tax attorneys at Thorn Law Group are highly experienced. They are able to help clients come into compliance
with government regulations concerning international accounts. They explain the IRS' Offshore Amnesty Program in
a way that makes sense, and outline the strict requirements for the program including paying penalties, back
taxes, and interest on the offshore account.
The firm has a developed track record of success for resolving offshore bank account investigations and evasion
charges as quickly as possible, while minimizing the consequences. For example, they helped a client from
Ireland come into tax compliance and escape a four year prison sentence which the government wanted to impose
upon him. Do not hesitate to contact Thorn Law Group with any questions or concerns you might have about
international accounts and/or tax compliance in general."
"I was extremely pleased with the personal service provided by Thorn Law Group in dealing with my tax issues.
Upon hearing that OVDP is closing for good in September, I was afraid about my options and unsure whether or not
I was in compliance with US tax law. Thanks to Kevin E. Thorn, I am now!"
"The partners of Thorn Law Group were formerly with the IRS, and have saved clients hundreds of thousands, and,
in some cases, millions of dollars. In one situation, Thorn Law Group represented a taxpayer family of Middle
Eastern descent who owned multiple foreign accounts. Kevin Thorn negotiated and obtained in IRS Appeals a
non-willful FBAR penalty of $10,000, saving the taxpayer over $800,000 from the penalty originally proposed by
the IRS. He also obtained significant relief in penalties and interest in U.S. Tax Court. Mr. Thorn achieved
these significant reductions because he was able to represent his client's culture and facts in a way that the
IRS could understand."
"Kevin Thorn, the Managing Partner, has represented hundreds of taxpayers with foreign offshore accounts with
complex tax structures. Recently, Mr. Thorn represented a client who had numerous accounts in the islands with
complicated foreign corporate structures. Despite the challenges posed by the client’s unique situation, Mr.
Thorn convinced the IRS that their proposed fines and penalties were not warranted and saved the client over 11
million dollars and in additional taxes."
"Helps bring taxpayers into compliance with their obligations. True professionals in every sense of the
word."
"Kevin E. Thorn and the tax attorneys at Thorn Law Group are exceptional. When I came to them, I had just
received a letter from the Department of Justice concerning an undisclosed bank account at a Swiss bank. I
thought I was going to go to jail and lose everything I had worked for just because my family and my business
are international. Mr. Thorn's knowledge of the tax laws and his skills in presenting my situation to the IRS
and Department of Justice proved superior!"

living in Europe and the US. Mr. Thorn helped us to understand our opportunities for international investments
and estate planning issues so that my siblings and I may continue to further the growth of our businesses, to
care for our aging parents and provide for our children. Mr. Thorn and his team were sensitive to our family's
needs and helped us identify and understand our options and potential risks associated with US and international
activity."
