An amazing lawyer and the best defense you can get

Scott Lopez is an experienced attorney with an amazing track record. He helped my family when we really needed it and stuck with us until we won the battle. We found ourselves in a situation that was beyond our control and made no sense to us and he fought for us and delivered a successful result.... Scott is intelligent, hard working, highly experienced, has a proven track record and cares about his clients. Although no one wants to need a lawyer, if you do need one, you are in great hands with Scott Lopez.

Our journey!

I thank God for putting Scott in our path, since the first day we met we felt that we were in good hands. He is human (he cares!!), he is extremely fair and excellent at his job! We had a long journey because of my situation and he never made me feel unimportant! He was with us until the end and mor...e! Scott has won our respect and we will always recommend him as he is one of the few that actually cares!!

Avvo Rating

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.
