Jeffrey P Scaggs

Ridiculous criminal case with soon to be ex husband and Jeffrey was beyond professional and got the job done so incredibly fast. He got all charges dismissed and was available for questions and advice throughout. Extremely communicative and an absolute pleasure to work with. Would recommend to anyon...e.

Jeff represented me in a criminal case which later also involved a family case. I was facing two misdemeanors and an infraction. To complicate things, this was all taking place during the height of the COVID pandemic. Courts were on back log, and my case was in a position where it could have pote...ntially dragged on for well over a year. This meant that, due to an exclusionary order of protection, I could not return to my home during this time. To top it off, I was facing a DA that was totally aloof to my predicament. Jeff went above and beyond to expedite and resolve my matter. He was able to circumvent all the red tape and barriers and obtain an expedited hearing which involved the total dismissal of all the charges that were pending against me. After the conclusion of the criminal case, Jeff represented me in the family case that followed. He was able to quickly obtain an exclusionary order of protection for me and I was able to return home the same day. He concluded the family case by locking in a very extended order of protection for me and a full acknowledgment of guilt by the offending party. Jeff was accessible, responsive, communicative, available, hard working, skillful, patient, sympathetic, capable, open minded, knowledgeable and much more. Also, I can't stress enough how easily he was able to circumnavigate the monstrous barriers created by the COVID pandemic . He is an amazing lawyer, will continue to be my lawyer and I highly recommend him.

Mr Scaggs had defended me in a case that came up for me out of nowhere for something that I never did. Mr. Scaggs was very helpful throughout the whole process and always available to help and advise me when needed. He presented a great case and eventually aided me to the not guilty charge that was r...ightfully deserved. I would recommended Mr. Scaggs to anyone who needs a great defense attorney for any reason.

Mr. Scaggs also REFUSED for more than 6 weeks to provide his Photo ID to LawClerk.com to hire more lawyers who would assist him, which was part of our LEAD ATTORNEY AGREEMENT. He came up with more lame excuses which ultimately lead to the CANCELATION of our LawClerk account, which caused harm to the ...reputation of our organization. Other LawClerk lawyers who wanted to work with us, wrote us emails stating that "This appears to be a scam. I am reporting it to the Attorney General and also notifying LawClerk to investigate and bar your listings. Please do not contact me further." Needless to say, that we had no other choice than to terminate the LEAD ATTORNEY WORKING AGREEMENT with Mr. Scaggs. When we asked him to provide a refund of at least $6,000 for the payment of September 2019, which we wired to him one week in advance of the months end, Mr. Scaggs REFUSED to refund the money for the work he has FAILED to do. We would not recommend this unprofessional Lawyer to anybody, as it seems Mr. Scaggs works with "one liner responses" through his iphone only, but in the 2 month of working with us, Mr. Scaggs has never written any letter or any custody enforcement order even though we asked him to do so from day 1. We also have not received any professional billing nor any overview of how he spend our money. Overall, a horrible experience with Mr. Scaggs who was supposed to assist us in returning kidnapped children to their left behind parents, but instead he takes our organization for a ride and smears our reputation with LawClerk for not performing at all, even though he signed up for this in our working agreement. STAY AWAY FROM MR. JEFFREY SCAGGS IF YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE YOUR MONEY.

I have consulted Mr. Scaggs on countless legal issues in New York. His analysis is always spot on. He knows when to take a diplomatic approach, but he also knows when to fight, and nobody fights harder. One of the things that really separates him from other attorneys is that you can always get a h...old of him (even weekends and holidays). Mr. Scaggs has always gotten me top notch results, and I could not recommend him more.
