J. Scott Broome is an experienced attorney in the field of tax controversy and criminal tax defense. His work with the Internal Revenue Service gives him a perspective on tax matters that is extremely valuable to clients. Broome served the government as an IRS District Counsel lawyer for six years before he left in 1994 for private practice. During his time with the IRS, he was involved in hundreds of cases ranging from criminal to tax collection matters, advising IRS agents and officers across Northern Ohio. A large portion of his work at the IRS involved litigating cases before the United States Tax Court. Scott gives our firm an extraordinary dimension when it comes to tax controversy and criminal-related tax cases, Robert J. Rotatori says. His government experience and his ability in the courtroom make him formidable in the adversarial process. A graduate of The Ohio State University, where he majored in accounting, Broome received his law degree from Case Western Reserve University before entering government service. At the conclusion of his government service, he joined the firm of Kadish & Bender where he practiced in civil tax controversy, criminal tax, and other white-collar criminal cases. Broome later joined Roetzel & Andress, where he continued to represent clients faced with civil and criminal tax issues and white-collar criminal issues. Broome is admitted to practice in Ohio, the Northern and Southern Federal District Courts in Ohio, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Tax Court. He has represented clients both locally and nationally. In 2001, he joined his present firm, then known as Rotatori, Gragel & Stoper. Broome became a partner in Rotatori, Bender in 2004. Broome lives in Gates Mills. Contact J. Scott Broome: email: SBroome@Rotatori.com, telephone: 216.928.1010, ext. 206
