"Hammer and Hope"

I made the right decision to have Attorney Scott Camassar represent me for my medical malpractice case. He did an OUTstanding job. He really took the time to learn all of the details of my case. It was a very long process and he always kept me informed with the status. His professionalism, dedicati...on, and understanding are unmatched. I felt extremely comfortable with him. He was knowledgeable, honest, compassionate, and supportive. He believed in me and in my claim and I felt that he went above and beyond with persistence and diligence to portray that. I trusted him completely to tell the facts of my case. He was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to anyone! If you want the job done thoroughly and with commitment you will get that from Attorney Camassar.

Great Lawyer!

You can trust that you are going to get the possible representation with Scott Camassar as your attorney.   His team provided outstanding, friendly and trustworthy service. They took care of everything, and worked with me step by step with the utmost professionalism, always making sure I was satisfi...ed with the ongoing details of my case. Scott was very fair and worked very hard to get the possible settlement for my claim.   Every time I would have a question by e mail I would immediately receive an answer.  I would recommend Scott to anyone that wants to be treated like a priority, as well as see substantial results in their case.

Grateful and Appreciative

I hired Attorney Camassar to assist me in filing an out of state claim regarding an automobile accident. Mr. Camassar listened to all of my concerns and handled the case efficiently. Although it was a small claim, he worked hard to get me the largest sum possible. I would highly recommend Attorney... Camassar to those needing a lawyer.

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.
