Civil

Scott is very thorough and knowledgeable I would highly recommend him. My case is a very sensitive matter and he was comforting and understanding also.

The BEST in Family Court

Scott Cannon's professionalism, compassion, experience, empathy and strategic protocol truly defines that of a first-class attorney. Family Court had been a difficult and emotionally draining experience for the past 3 years, until I met Scott. Having met with and retained, two previous attorneys, n...either produced the results that Scott has. Scott is a "people's" attorney. He listened to me. He kept reminding me to "change the channel" in my thinking so that I could begin to heal from 18 years of abuse in a Domestic Violence situation. Scott's motto is, "I understand." And he does! Scott has helped my children and I to get our lives to a place of healing and growth. Scott Cannon is the epitome of THE BEST. I am so grateful to Scott for all he has done, and continues to do. There will never be another attorney, besides Scott Cannon, that will be there to represent me.

Child Custody

I met with several lawyers before Scott. As soon as I walked into the office I felt welcome. His staff is very professional. Once Scott stared asking me about my situation, I could hear compassion in his voice. I knew right away he was the right choice. His experience was obvious. Scott was very educ...ated on the effects of Domestic Violence. He even cared about my well being. We had to met often due to my ex causing issues with my children. Scott helped me keep them away from an unhealthy person in their life. Its not always easy to get full custody without any visitation. We ended up back in court several times. Which he guided me through every step of the way. He even stops me from being all worked up. I was scheduled to testify at the last court appearance. Thanks to Scott's power of persuasion I didn't have to. He left me in awe. I couldn't be happier! Scott is an amazing lawyer with an actual personality. He went above and beyond for my children's well being. Very trustworthy and knowledgeable.
