Scott solved our tax problem in the simplest and least expensive way possible. He gave us full, complete, detailed information about our rights and the best course of action. We were thrilled with his professionalism and expertise.

WOW !!! I was not sure what to expect since I was not from the Tyler area, but trusted a friends recommendation..... Sure glad I did. Scott Scammahorn did what other lawyers didn't.....HE LISTENED. The communication was outstanding, and I was never left wondering or guessing about my case. Let's face it, hiring an attorney for the most part is not fun, but I am glad to say "I now have a good one." Thanks for all you guys did, from Emily who answered the phone, to the final outcome !

Excellent Attorney

Scott Scammahorn is a true professional. He is incredibly knowledgeable and works hard to reach the best resolution possible for his clients. He has represented me on a few different cases and I have always been 100% pleased with the outcome of my cases and his services overall. I would recommend Scott to anyone!

Skilled Opposing Counsel

As an attorney, my civil litigation cases are contested. In a recent lawsuit against Mr. Scammahorn's client, he fought agressively and accurately against me for his client, filing fast motions and objections to my pleadings and identifying weaknesses in our case, to our chagrin. We could, however, trust each other to be straight, produce documents, and adopt realistic expectations for the case. We settled fairly at mediation. Every lawyer likes working with a competent, experienced, trustworthy opponent like Scott.

Great IRS Tax Lawyer

I would recommend Mr. Scammahorn for any IRS Tax issue. He was able to advise me on setting up a replacement agreement in which later the IRS canceled . I asked Mr Scammahor to try and help me get a lump sum settlement in which he was successful. The amount of money I owed the IRS was about $46,000 and he was able to get my income assessment submitted. Mr Scammahorn settled my case with $500.00 pay off. If your seriously needing a great lawyer don't hesitate to call him.
