Very Untrustworthy

This firm was referred to us during a business acquisition breeach of contract case. We felt confident at first since we only wanted to settle in an amicable manner. However, after two years of littigation & $110K later, this firm dropped our case over a $2K retainer fee. (This occurred the day befor...e we were to appear before a judge) We were left without representation & no information from our file. I sat in their office for three days to obtain copies of "our" file. (They were too busy to copy in a timely manner, even though I offered to copy myself.) Once copies were obtained, we discovered demands by us to opposing council that were completely untrue & false. ie: pain & suffering, mental anguish & other actions that were not requested by us. It is our opinion that Mr. Maynard & Mrs. Hogan were not working towards a quick settlement of our case as we requested, thus requiring additional time & fees. Once our case was brought to mediation with our new attorney, this case was settled within 2 months & minimal dollars spent. (Not counting what was paid to Mr. Maynard) Once this case settled, we continued to try retrieve our Corporate Stock Binder from Mr. Maynard & Mrs. Hogan for over 1.5 years. Three years later, we are still receiving a bill from this firm for services never rendered......

Great Lawyer!

I have used this firm for 2 different matters and have been very happy with the service that I received. Both partners are very responsive and worked harder than any other attorneys I have ever used to solve my problems. They are not cheap, but they are worth it!

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."
