Scott Morrison Review

We retained Scott to create and establish our estate planning documents. He was very thorough in explaining all of the important decisions that must be made in this process. He was very cordial and a pleasure to interact with. My wife and I would strongly recommend his services to anyone.

Client

Scott provided smart, cost effective services for my Family Trust and services as a probate lawyer. He was able to explain complex matters in a easy way. I have recommended Scott Morrison to all my family friends and colleagues.

Estate and tax planning support through design and execution to successful completion

My introduction to Scott was by my father, a retired banking executive who had retained Scott’s firm to assist with estate and tax planning. We came to know each other well, first through the administration of my mother’s estate and several years later in my role as Executor following the death of my... father. There were a number of tax matters and complex family relationship issues involved and Scott provided professional counseling and thoughtful guidance that ultimately lead to their successful resolution. My wife and I consider Scott to be a true friend of the family and have continued to use his services in relation to our property holdings in California and matters related to family and estate planning.

An Incredible San Diego Tax Attorney

I've had a chance to work with Scott for over 10 years and he's one of the most intelligent attorney's I have ever worked with. His ability to assess our tax or estate planning needs has proven to be extremely beneficial for our company. He is also extremely creative and has a very solid understandi...ng of tax law. I would highly recommend Scott as your San Diego Tax Attorney for any tax related questions or for your estate planning needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
