Testimonials
I would like to take this opportunity to heartily endorse and recommend the firm of McClellan Davis, LLC for any issues related to sales tax in the State of California. I had the opportunity to work with Jesse McClellan on an extended and very complicated set of sales tax audits related to our time in California, and I will say frankly that had we not engaged him, we would have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in incorrectly calculated sales taxes and penalties. His knowledge of the law, and his understanding of the workings of the Board were invaluable during this ordeal, and I can’t thank him enough for all the hard work he did, and more importantly, the results he achieved for us.
