We had attention and respect from everyone at Ecton, start to finish!! Pam and her team provided exceptional assistance in resolving my brother’s IRS tax issues. Her kindness, professionalism, expertise, and meticulous attention to detail were truly remarkable and incredibly reassuring. This matter was quite challenging for us to navigate, but everyone's patience and extensive experience was invaluable. Every meeting, either in person or by phone, was pleasurable even if the topic was difficult. How fortunate we were to have been recommended to Ecton Law Firm and I will return the favor of recommendation.

Yesterday, 1/27/2026, my husband and I had a consultation with Mr. Alex Lall from the Ecton Law Firm. From the moment we made the appointment, we were treated with the utmost courtesy and respect. After meeting with Mr. Lall, we were very impressed with his depth of knowledge about IRS legal tax matters, professionalism, clarity, friendliness and honesty. While our case would not be pursuable through the firm’s services at this time, Mr. Lall still took the time to clearly lay out our options and to give us specific and executable advice. We are so grateful for having met Mr. Lall through the Ecton Law Firm. Because of his advice, we feel empowered to take the steps necessary to resolve our matter independently. His honorable approach makes him a credit to his company. In addition, Mr. Lall and Christina, at the front desk, were diligent to email us additional information the same day. We look forward to working with Mr. Lall/Ecton Law Firm and their associates in the future. We recommend their services to anyone in need of professional tax lawyers.

Response from owner

Ishel, we appreciate your kind words and I'm glad Alex was able to help you.

I had a great experience meeting with John Ecton —he is an extremely knowledgeable attorney, who explains complex tax and legal concepts in a clear, practical, and personable way. His insight and perspective on proper business taxes and accounting. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking a trusted and highly competent tax attorney.

Response from owner

Thank you Rachel. Great meeting you as well.

We recently consulted with John about a persistent tax issue affecting our business, which we've been unable to resolve directly with the IRS due to their ongoing disorganization and poor communication. John generously took the time to offer insightful recommendations at no cost, and we're now confidently on the path to resolution. Thanks, John!

Response from owner

I can agree with your IRS assessment of "ongoing disorganization and poor communication." It does make it difficult to get issues resolved. Glad we could help. Best of Luck.

My husband and I are very thankful that Ecton Law Firm handle our Irs audit representation. Our anxiety levels were through the roof just wondering the worst case scenarios. John Ecton explained very thoroughly his plan of action and what he require of us through out the process. Julie was awesome with the updates, we love her energetic personality. Anybody with Irs problems go to Ecton Law Firm.

Response from owner

Thank you Shironica. It was our pleasure to help you with these problems. By the way, glad it worked out so great.

had some serious questions about IRS situation, and Mr. Ecton could have easily taken our money, and made me a client, but instead he helped to shed some light on our problem to help get a better solution to our problem. John did not have to take the time to set us on the right path, and we are forever thankful for john, and his kind staff. Even though we were nervous at first Kristina greeted us just like family, and set us at ease. it was a blessing to get the chance to meet her, and speak with John.

Response from owner

So glad we could help get some better understanding to your problem. We are here if you need any additional assistance.

Dealing with the IRS can be difficult. After speaking with Mr. Ecton on the phone, I immediately felt more at ease about my situation. He patiently listened to everything I had to say and calmly explained what can, can't, should, and shouldn't be done. Having these things explained was a big load off my mind. Give 'em a call. It's that easy!

Response from owner

Our pleasure to help you better understand those IRS problems.

I was in an unusual situation when the IRS came after me for payroll taxes I did not owe. I negotiated and communicated with them for several years until they started to be more agressive. I checked with the well known national tax relief firms and they wanted a rudiculous amount of money to represent me. I decided to contact the John Ecton Law Firm and they were caring and professional and their fees are much lower than the others. The result was it took almost two years to resolve, but the IRS finally recorded a 0 balance and released the lien I had on me and that had disrupted my life. I highly recomend the Ecton Law Firm and thank Laurn Dukes for her expert help.

Response from owner

Russell, I'm glad we finally got the IRS to realize the situation. It can take a while but such a great result. Laurin Dukes sure does know this IRS resolution field.

I reached out to Ecton law firm to assist me with a tax matter for a business. By the time I had reached out to them, I had been dealing with the matter for a couple of years. I spoke to Mr. Ecton and he gave me a rundown of what to expect, and the what the total cost would be. I then got connected with Laurin Dukes, and she has been my primary point of contact as I work through getting the matter resolved. The difference between Ecton the and prior law firm (McCutchen Mclean) was incredible. I was able to get information and details from Ecton, that McCutchen was unable to provide to me in the two years that I worked with them. Laurin is incredibily responsive, and does a great job at following up as needed. I am still working on my resolution with the tax matter, but it's very helpful to have a knowledgable law firm to assist in these complicated matters. The only downside is that Ecton only assists on the collections part, they don't assist with audit representation, so if that's an issue you are dealing with you will have to find another attorney. Other than that, for collection purposes, Ecton is probably one of the best around, and fairly priced for what they do. I highly recommend them.

Response from owner

Jamie, thank you for the kind words and I'm glad your experience is good. We actually do handle audits, but at the time we were so busy, we didn't have the resources to properly take on your audit to the level it needed. We will not take a file that we cannot dedicate the proper time to get the best resolution. I hope you understand.

Anybody that has any problems with the IRS. Ecton Law Firm is the company you need to call. I cannot convey how happy I am with the service they provided. They went above and beyond anything that I could imagine. The lawyer that I had Laurin, responded to all of my emails promptly and was able to settle my 60k debt for 5k.

Response from owner

Great result Jay. Breaking free from the IRS feels great. Thanks for sharing.

Not worth the money spent. And I was reading all the glowing reviews...uh, not in my situation! I met with Mr. Ecton one time and that was it. I was passed off to an associate like a poopy mop! I called the SCDOR myself to get them off my back for a couple of weeks while my amendments where still being processed because the associate said we couldn't ask them to hold off. Wrong. You can go to the IRS and SC Tax websites and set up your own payment plans and ask them to help you through the process. The SC is very aggressive I will say that, so get with them asap or else. Ecton did help me realize I was underpaying taxes on an annuity of mine and advised me to amend my taxes, which I did (at an additional expense), but at least that was done and I've learned a lot on my own about all this. But again, in my opinion, not worth the money, but Ecton apparently does help other people and that's great for them...not so much for my situation. It is what it is.

Response from owner

Judy, sorry your experience did not meet expectations. We always want to be up front about the services, the processes we use, the potential options available for any client and the fee that those services. I can tell you my Associate knows the system inside and out. Her knowledge and experience is exceptional. We do appreciate your input as it helps us strive for improvement in our practice.
