The owner of a Los Angeles tax reassessment business was sentenced to community service today after pleading guilty to misleading consumers with mail solicitations, authorities said.
Sean McConville, 29, pleaded guilty to a dozen misdemeanor counts of disclosure violations for unsolicited mailings that appeared to be coming from a government agency, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said.
McConville, owner of Property Tax Reassessment, was charged in May after a probe by state authorities targeting businesses that charged homeowners substantial fees to fill out property tax reassessment forms, according to prosecutors.
In addition to 250 hours of community service, McConville was sentenced to three years of probation.
