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, t...rust 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 a...nd 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.

I would highly recommend Scam...mahorn Law Firm!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
