C. SCOTT OMO

Attorney C. Scott Omo

Scott joined the firm in May 2009 after earning a Masters of Law in Taxation from the SMU Dedman School of Law. His practice focuses on estate planning, tax, and business planning, as well as guardianship, trust, and probate administration.

Scott is Board Certified in Estate Planning and Probate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. This certification demonstrates his special competence in sophisticated planning to maximize management and protection of his clients’ wealth over generations. He takes pride in working closely with these families long after the drafting is complete to help bear some of the burdens that can arise throughout the guardianship, probate, and trust administration process. He also assists in fiduciary litigation matters and has been successful at all levels of the Texas judicial system.

Scott is an established tax attorney and has represented clients before the IRS for more than 20 years. He is highly sought after for protection in IRS collection matters, to resolve complex audits, and to defend countless tax controversies throughout the state of Texas. He regularly advises on tax planning matters with a comprehensive style to develop solutions that minimize his clients’ liability from the myriad of federal, state, and local taxation.

Prior to joining the firm, Scott worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers in its International Assignment Solutions group advising Fortune 100 companies and their employees on a variety of international tax planning and compliance matters. While in law school, he clerked for the United States Attorney’s Office where he assisted the Affirmative Civil Enforcement division in identifying and preventing fraud against the government.

Combining his extensive professional experience and exceptional academic credentials, Scott enjoys teaching Business Law to incoming MBA students in Baylor University’s Hankamer School of Business.

Scott and his wife, Nicole, are proud to call China Spring home where they raise their three sons. In his free time, Scott loves coaching his boys’ sports teams, volunteering with the H.O.T. Fair & Rodeo, and serving on the Board of Directors for both the Heart of Texas Goodwill Industries and the China Spring Youth Athletic Association.
