Heavy Hitter Lawfirm!!!

If you want someone who will take some chances in the courtroom and shake up your opposition, this is the firm! They work harder than any firm I have ever hired. Their written work is amazing. Even I didn't know that my case was so good! They are trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable and kept me inf...ormed. I will never use another firm. Period!

Great Employment Lawyers

I cannot say enough good things about this firm! They just got me out of the biggest mess of my entire life! After years of paying my empolyees as independent contractors, they all got together and hired a nasty money grubbing contingent lawyer to sue me for overtime that they never worked and their ...own unpaid taxes. I would have been bankrupted if Maynard had not proven that they were wrong!!!!! It took about 8 and a half months of agony and over $10,000 in fees to Maynard, but now they are gone, finally! This firm is great! The first 3 firms I talked to said I was going to lose! Thank you Mr. Maynard!

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Scott Maynard is one of the best tax controversy attorneys you will encounter anywhere. I have known him for many years and in my experience, he really knows what he is doing. He is extremely knowledgeable in all types of tax issues and, unlike many other tax attorneys, he truly understands the nuances of business transactions, real estate issues, and international monetary transactions. Scott always gives his clients that special personal attention you would expect from a real professional. In dealing with the IRS, FTB or SBE, he knows how to present the case from beginning to end. Whenever necessary, he is a fighter and is willing to go the distance. All of this I know firsthand, as I worked for him for many years, some 2 decades ago. If you need assistance with any tax problem, I would highly recommend that you consider Scott as your tax attorney."

  • 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.
