DON’T

1. Take your money - just under $10,000 2. Promise they’ll help 3. Do nothing. 4. Ask for a refund. 5. Silence 6. Lesson learned.

Joke

What you’ve put my husband & I through this whole time has been a joke but you got your money. Now case closed & we are still in the same boat. I will not recommend this company to anyone. The sad part is I was recommended by a church member, how sad..

Tax Case

My Lawyers did everything they said they would do and more. They were very helpful in keeping me informed on how my case was doing and they were very professional and positive. Every time I spoke with them they made me feel that they were doing every thing they could to help me.

Seeking an Attorrney whose experience, ethics & wisdom you can Trust

I was recommended to Travis Watkins by my son, Michael, an excellent attorney himself in OKCity but dealing with other aspects of law than I required. Travis fulfilled all my expectations in efficiency, ethical standards & experience required for the attorney wisdom I needed. Travis & his staff n...ever failed to give my concerns their utmost.attention with valuable guidance through a process of over 4 years. Without Travis Watkins' expertise & experience I would today be penniless & desperate from the wrongful accusations & misunderstandings that prevailed against me. If you require expertise & experience in legal advice I unreservedly recommend Travis Watkins!

"I endorse this lawyer. Travis Watkins is, in my opinion, the finest tax attorney in the State of Oklahoma. I have witnessed this not only as a fellow attorney, but as a client of his law office. I retained Travis Watkins to handle a very serious IRS tax arrearage in 2015 after having a poor experience with a previously retained tax attorney. Travis and his team of attorneys worked tirelessly on my case and treated me with the utmost courtesy and respect from start to finish. In the end, Travis succeeded in securing for me an accepted Offer in Compromise that not only saved me over $200,000, but also saved my career and my family."
