About Mr. Jeffrey R.
Mr. Jeffrey R. Kuhns studied tax law at the graduate level and built a varied legal résumé before settling into practice. He earned an LL.M. in Tax Law from Chapman University Fowler School of Law. He received a J.D. in Business Law from Whittier Law School in 2007. He also holds undergraduate degrees from the University of Southern California: a B.S. in Business Administration and a B.A. in History.
Early in his career he joined The McCrory Law Office as an associate in 2012. That role placed him in daily client work and courtroom settings, and it contributed to experience across multiple subject areas. He later added mediation credentials and transactional work to his profile. The Florida Supreme Court certified him as a county court mediator, qualifying him to handle settlement and dispute-resolution sessions in that forum.
Mr. Kuhns is admitted to practice in a mix of federal and state venues. His admissions include the United States Tax Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, alongside licenses in California, Florida, and Minnesota. That range allows him to handle appeals and tax litigation as well as state-level matters in multiple places.
Professional memberships run through both general and specialized bars. He has been a member of the American Bar Association since 2010. He joined the Maritime Law Association of the United States in 2011 and maintains that membership. These affiliations reflect involvement in national-level legal conversations as well as subject-specific networks.
Throughout his work he has combined tax training and courtroom experience with mediation and practice across jurisdictions. Cases and client matters have ranged from administrative tax disputes to litigation requiring federal appellate filings. The maritime association membership signals interest and some activity in maritime and admiralty issues, while the LL.M. indicates advanced training in tax law.
He writes and advises on matters that cross state and federal lines, often bringing together procedural knowledge and subject-matter training. He balances courtroom advocacy, appellate procedure, and mediated resolution depending on the matter. His current practice centers on tax-related matters and maritime issues, serving clients across the jurisdictions where he is licensed.
