BEWARE

I was a client of the Waage Law firm from 2002-2004 and I attended one of his seminars on how to thwart the IRS and keep more money for yourself strategy sales pitches. He has a silver tongue and I drank the kool-aid like everyone else in the room. Not long into this business relationship, I received... a visit from the IRS. The IRS informed me that my name was on the top of a list of businesses and individuals that were present or former clients of the Waage Law Firm. After 3.5 years of IRS audit (more years to audit me than my business had even been in existence!!) I got stuck with a huge tax liability that would ruin me for the next 20 years. All of this occurred because I, as a fledgling business owner had the misfortune of walking into one of this mans seminars and naively believing that his tax strategy (scheme) was legal. 4-5 years later, I was unsurprised to learn that Waage was permanently banned from doing business in California.

Best tax lawyer we have ever found.

Scott Waage is the best tax lawyer we have ever found. He was recommened to us by our business associates and his firm have helped us with our corporation and pension plan. They provided good service and Scott has saved us a lot of money over the years and helped protect our business and family. W...e recommend Scott and his firm highly.

Wish I Had Found Them Years Ago!

My family has worked with Mr. Waage and several of the lawyers and people in his firm to put together our trusts and family partnerships. They explain things so clearly and are very helpful. We feel very confident that are family is protected now and we are greatful for all their help. Mr. Waage m...akes complicated things understandable and we appreciate his patience and personal involvement. This is a great firm we wish we would have found years ago.

Horrible Experience with this Lawyer

This attorney grossly overbills and is on the IRS watch list. He provides the services needed, but bills beyond belief and then his staff is extremely rude. My corporation used him for a few years and I recommended several people to his firm. I regret the recommendations as several of them had hu...ge IRS issues due to the wrongful practices. Be smart and stay away.
