Great Lawyer, Great Guy and Great New Friend

With the prospect of going to jail, losing my job, losing my home and being sued over a 30 second accident which changed my life forever, I was referred to Liam Scully. Thank God ! My case was very complex with multiple changing parts along the way. Liam's insight and strategy was spot on. He was pr...epared with every court date with an exact strategy and anticipated some surprises. Liam's Savviness in The Court Room Won Me a Favorable Decision, which I am Forever Greatful. But not only that Liam went Above and Beyond to Orchestrate a Deal with My Civil Case Lawyer and Other Party to Avoid me from being Liable and Losing My Retirement Fund and Home. I Highly Recommend Liam Scully and I am Forever Greatful for His Services !!

My experience with Atty. Scully

Atty. Scully is a true legal professional. He is an excellent listener, and really made me feel like I was being represented who understood the nuances of my case as well as I did. He also explained the details around my case, our legal system, and the laws in play, so that I didn't feel as much like... I was 'flying blind.' This consultative style of Atty. Scully's really allowed me to feel informed enough to have confidence in him, his abilities and our ability to work as a team to navigate the court process together. We won the case -- though after getting to know Liam, it was no surprise. He's a pro! I appreciated his help so much, that I have called him back since that initial case, just for advice, which he is happy to give. If ever I need a lawyer again, Liam will be my first choice.

Best decision of my life

After a DUI arrest I called an attorney friend of mine for help. He strongly recommended that I call Liam Scully and it was the best advice I could have gotten! From our initial meeting Liam was professional , courteous , and knowledgable in advising me on what my options were and how to proceed. A...fter reviewing the arrest report and the facts of the case Mr. Scully recommended we go to trial but made clear it was my decision. Six months later I was found not guilty and my license was reinstated. I would recommend Liam Scully to anyone in need of counsel.

"I endorse this lawyer. Liam is a skilled and passionate advocate, who has the ability to try a case at a moment's notice--and win. He cares about his clients, is professionally courteous to the opposition, but, despite his pleasant demeanor, he is a stone-cold killer in the courtroom. I recommend his services because I could see myself hiring him if I got into trouble."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
