Amazing at what he does

We started my journey with Scott a bit over 5 years ago. He is calm and knows how to make sure you stay calm. He is extremely knowledgeable and is a master at his craft! Everything that he recommended worked out in our favor and we couldn't be happier with our end result. Thank you for making this... a smooth journey for us.

Thanks so much for your nice review! I really appreciate that you took the time to do this so that others will know that they can trust me to help solve their legal problems. It's amusing to me that my being calm was what you noticed. I think it comes from training in the martial arts for 32 years. I think of it as being in the eye of the hurricane.

Excellent Debt Renegotiation / Restructuring Attorney

Scott did a remarkable job restructuring my debt and releasing the full value of my personal assets. Prior to working with Scott, I was weighed down by almost US$100,000 in personal and medical debt, and facing the very real prospect of bankruptcy as well as the foreclosure of my property. Within 18 ...months of hiring Scott, not only had I been entirely relieved of my previous debt burden, but I had also managed to retain and invest in some cash-generating assets, thereby allowing me to pursue a fresh start in life.

I want to thank this client for this wonderful review. It is truly appreciated. I strive to have all of my firm's clients feel that they got more that they expected. Although I am very experienced with bankruptcy law, it is a last resort. I try to help clients avoid that and look for other solutions whenever possible, as was the case here. I'm very happy this worked out so well.

Superb and Trustworthy Attorney

I have known Scott for about 8 years now. I met him after having bad experiences with several attorneys in connection with an investment property I own in the Bronx. I had reached a settlement with my lender and sent them an agreement and payment but the lender tried to foreclose anyway. Scott filed ...papers with the court in a contested case and helped get the case dismissed. It was an amazing result! He is very experienced and knowledgeable and always protects my interests. With his help, I've been able to collect rent from my property for many years and the legal fees were minimal compared to my rental income. He also offered me flexible payment terms. He always takes the time to explain things clearly to me and has been very easy to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney for litigation, foreclosure, or business matters.

Excellent advice.

I consulted with Scott on a bankruptcy/collection matter. He correctly advised me not to pursue it as the odds were stacked against me and emotion would not make it work. He was correct 100%. None of the creditors that filed against the company were paid and he wound up saving me thousands in lega...l expenses that I never would have recouped.

Thanks Sam! This review shows that sometimes it makes sense not to pursue legal remedies. Sometimes, when the benefits are far outweighed by the costs, the best advice is to just let it go.
