Experienced Advice and steadfast guidance

I first contacted Scott for a consultation and several minutes into our conversation, I knew that he was the right attorney for me. Besides being very knowledgeable, he has a reassuring bedside manner. He is honest and has an unbiased direct approach to the situation, followed by how he can help and ...the best way to approach the issue. I never felt pushed into making any decisions and my questions and concerns were always met with understanding and concern. Scott is very approachable and was always very responsive and available to speak with me - both before I hired him and after. This was extremely valuable to me. Scott was instrumental in helping me reach a successful outcome.

Professional, Aggressive, and Experienced in Court

Scott helped me resolve a dispute last year. I own and operate a hair salon in NJ but I was sued in a NY Court by the company that handled my credit card processing. That company committed fraud and was being investigated by the Attorney General.My business has no connection to NY. Scott researched... and drafted a motion to dismiss the case and argued it in court. The judge agreed with our motion a nd forced the company to settle. I was very happy with the result.

Thanks so much for the review! This case involved challenging issues of contract law, fraud, and jurisdiction. I was very happy with this result also. Being ready and able to battle in court is what it takes to negotiate the best settlement. Scott

Scott Gets Results

My Condominium Board hired Scott Lanin after an owner in our building had their lawyer threaten to sue the Condo. We got on the phone with Scott and immediately felt like we were in good hands. He knew exactly how to handle the situation and helped us avoid a lawsuit. Since the owner clearly had no l...egal recourse to go after us, they ended up selling and leaving the building. Scott is a great attorney, very experienced, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him.

I'm so glad this worked out. I always try to help my clients avoid the time and expense of litigation. It's not always the best option to fight in court but it helps when the other side knows you can.

Smart, efficient, professional, and tough (where you need him to be!)

Scott Lanin was recommended by a friend whom I trust (through a shared professional organization; the other gentleman is not a lawyer). He was amazing. Based on my voicemail and email, he contacted me over a weekend, continued to write to me and receive documents, and called me on Sunday, even thou...gh he had family obligations which he was juggling. He was reassuring and smart, honest and efficient. I have no doubt that he worked for every penny he billed for, and I am happy to pay him for his help which ended up avoiding costly litigation and settling the dispute in my favor. I always felt that I was in trustworthy and competent hands. He's smart, takes his time, and get results. What more could any client ask for? He even reminded me that my constant emailing him in my anxiety was raising his fee! Totally honest person. His firm was a pleasure to do business with, including his staff and his paralegal.

Smooth chapter 13 experience

Scott is extremely knowledgable and to the point. He knew how to deal with the trustee to ensure our proceeding went smooth. Scott also recommended that we wait for the homestead exception to increase in NYS before filing. This was a great idea because it saved us a a lot of money money and made our... chapter 13 possible. I highly recommend Scott for anyone looking for a quality lawyer.

Thanks so much for your nice review. I really appreciate it so that others will know that they can trust me to solve their legal problems. In this case, what made the difference was the knowledge that New York State was considering increasing the homestead exemption and waiting for that to happen a few years ago. Once that occurred, my client's Chapter 13 payment plan became feasible because the higher exemption reduced the percentage he was required to pay his unsecured creditors. We used the law to our advantage here!
