At Scissortail Legal Group, PLLC we have combined over three decades of dedicated experience representing and protecting the legal interests of Oklahomans and their businesses. Our attorneys have held some of the top legal positions in Oklahoma state government and we put that knowledge and know how to work for our client’s advantage every day. Our lawyers have a spectrum of experience advocating and fighting for the most vulnerable Oklahomans, as well as protecting the interests of some of the biggest businesses in Oklahoma industry. Our experience, passion, and representation include:
Special Needs Representation: Children and adults with disabilities deserve the best our state has to offer. We passionately, and effectively, represent children and parents at IEP (Individualized Education Plan) meetings with their public school to help ensure disabled children, children who learn different, and children with medical or other issues get the education they deserve. We also represent clients pursuing guardianships in a variety of situations – whether it be for a disabled child approaching adulthood, or an elderly family member that needs some help and oversight. We have crafted numerous Special Needs Trusts that help parents save and secure the financial future of their disabled child without jeopardizing the child’s eligibility in adulthood for government needs-based benefits. We help design estate plans, trusts, and wills so our clients can have assurance of their family’s lifetime security.
Medical Marijuana Business Representation: We are well known, respected, and experienced legal pioneers in the Oklahoma medical marijuana industry, including the Oklahoma hemp industry established under the federal Farm Bills. Not only have our lawyers played a large role in creating Oklahoma’s medical marijuana regulations, they have played an even larger role protecting the rights and interests of the industry and patients. Additionally, our lawyers have the tax background and experience to help our clients ensure the lowest possible tax burden under Section 280(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. We help business clients to quickly become licensed to operate a medical marijuana grow, processing facility, dispensary, transportation facility, educational or research facility with a focus on compliance and flexibility. We represent medical marijuana business clients against enforcement actions, and we fight every day to protect the rights of Oklahoma’s patients – be it in the workplace, in divorce and custody matters, or from government infringement.
Tax Help: We effectively represent Oklahomans and businesses in dealings with the Oklahoma Tax Commission and the Internal Revenue Service. Whether they are facing a tax lien, are seeking to make an Offer-in-Compromise, Innocent Spouse relief, seek to protest a tax assessment, or are seeking a waiver of penalties and interest, we have the direct experience our clients need. Having worked for the Oklahoma Tax Commission, we have the know how to successfully help our clients to resolve their tax liabilities, personal or business, efficiently and economically.
Litigation: We tirelessly represent clients in litigated matters with a combination of our strongest skills and experience. We have a spectrum of experience in matters involving business transactions, real estate transactions and issues, corporate structuring, divorce and family law, and other areas that effect Oklahomans from all walks of life.
In short, we are a team of Oklahoma lawyers, largely native to this great state, and native to helping all Oklahomans protect, ensure, and grow their future. Our name, Scissortail Legal Group, PLLC, pays homage to Oklahoma’s state bird, the graceful, efficient, and dynamic Scissortail Fly-catcher, as well as our Oklahoma roots and our dedication to the wonderful people of Oklahoma.
