Matthew D. Scott

 Mr. Scott founded his practice in 2011, beginning in California. In 2020, he and his family relocated to Southeastern Ohio, where he has established a practice in Marietta. His license to practice in West Virginia is pending. Mr. Scott and his dedicated teams focus entirely on helping families and business owners to plan their futures. Working in close collaboration with a trusted network of financial advisers, CPAs, bankers, and real estate professionals, he delivers high-quality legal services in a no-nonsense fashion. He has prepared well over 3,500 estate and business plans, from basic revocable trusts to complex special-needs and asset-protection planning. Many of his cases involve high-net-worth business owners who desire sound strategies for their succession and tax minimization goals.

Mr. Scott received a Bachelor of Music degree with emphasis in Vocal Performance from Brigham Young University. He has sung in multiple countries and in a dozen languages, including an appearance at Carnegie Hall.  Mr. Scott has released two solo albums under his own label and continues to perform as occasion permits, including for clients on vintage grand pianos at his offices. Having held FINRA Series 7 and 66 licenses, as well as life, accident, and health with annuities and long-term care licenses for many years, He brings a deeper knowledge of the financial implications of legal decisions on important planning considerations. Although he gave up those licenses in 2021 to focus entirely on the law, he remains deeply connected to the financial industry and maintains important relationships to better serve his clients.
