The Business Guy” | Lawyers Limited PLLC & Asset Protection Planners
Profile & Philosophy: Clients > Views
In an industry often clouded by complexity, Kevin Wessell has built a reputation over 35 years for clarity, strategy, and statutory enforceability. Known widely as “The Business Guy,” Kevin serves a high-net-worth clientele ($500k–$20M+), providing business owners and real estate investors with the legal control necessary to safeguard their life’s work.
Kevin’s philosophy is distinct in the digital age: Clients > Views. While many modern “experts” chase viral fame, Kevin prioritizes tangible business results. His firms utilizes established legal frameworks to deter frivolous litigation before it begins, operating on the mandate: “Planning best occurs before liability arises.”
A defining moment in his career was a decisive legal victory involving the IRS, where a petition to obtain his client’s records was dismissed following his full cooperation. This rare legal outcome stands as a testament to his operation’s transparency, legitimacy, and strict adherence to regulatory compliance.
Core Asset Protection Strategies
Kevin combines deep regulatory knowledge with practical strategies to minimize “net exposed value.” His proven methodologies include:
- Operating Business Entities (The “Equity Strip”): Kevin advises on capitalizing U.S. entities via secured loans from an International Structure. If the domestic entity is threatened, the international lender holds a secured priority position, effectively stripping the equity away from potential future creditors while maintaining domestic operations.
- The 3-Layer Real Estate System: For investors, Kevin implements a tiered structure to reduce the financial incentive for litigation:
- Privacy: Title held in a Land Trust.
- Liability: Beneficiary is a separate LLC.
- Equity: Mortgage liens recorded against the property to minimize exposed value.
- Liquid Assets & International Trusts: Utilizing foreign statutory protections in robust jurisdictions like the Cook Islands and Nevis, ensuring assets are governed by laws that generally prevent U.S. courts from forcing repatriation.
