Recommendation for Tracy Pounders, Attorney at Law

Mr. Pounders has been my lawyer for a number of years and has always done a great job for me. He did my first estate plan and has been diligent in helping me keep it up to date. And he’s been available to help me with those day to day legal questions that come up from time to time. He’s reliab...le, responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend him to you.

Sample of Legal Cases

Local Property Tax and The Non-Existent Oil & Gas Pipe

The ARB unanimously agreed that the ownership of the pipe transferred from my client to the buyer prior to January 1, and deleted the tax account; this reduced my client's tax liability on the pipe from just under $15,000 to $0.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
