Excellent lawyer! Highly recommend!

He took our case on assignment. He worked very hard to get us a good return. He is very professional and kept us informed as to the developments of the case. He is a very good lawyer and we highly recommend him.

Excellent service!

Great communication from Scott and his office. The handling of our case was very professional with an eye towards minimizing our involvement. The office took care of 75% of the daily needs which was greatly appreciated while we were in Covid lockdown.

Litigation lawyer | Nov 10

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Scott is a worthy adversary and a pragmatic attorney. He knows when to play "hard ball"and when to negotiate in a client's best interest. We have been on opposite sides of several cases as well as on the same side in others. He is responsive, considerate, knowledgeable, ethical and always available. I would hire him if i had a trusts and estates litigation."
