Took my case knowing full well it was an uphill battle
Scott Melton is a wonderful, caring man with a heart of gold. He took my case knowing full well it was an uphill battle. And what attorney does that?! Takes a case even though they realize they will likely lose money?
He tried tirelessly throughout and kept me updated at all the critical points of the case. He always talked to me with honesty, admiration and with the utmost respect. Even though my case wasn't strong enough to recieve a settlement, he was gentle and thorough in his explanations of the "why" to me in a way that made me ok with the outcome. Highly recommended if you want an attorney that truly puts his client first & pushes through with resilience rarely seen these days. Thank you Scott Melton :)
Attorney Scott Melton is skilled at wasting your time. He will seem very nice and supportive, in the beginning, then treat you like he could care less about you. He said he would probably take our case in January 2017 and then would not return phone calls or emails until September 2017. He left a message on my answering machine saying he would not take the case. So rude!

Malpractice case
I contacted this lawyer Oct. 2012 and it took him till Apr. 2013 to let me know if he would even take the case. It took him 6 months to decide and tell me no...that is unreal..He never called me or returned my phone calls..I was sick and tired of this and am really happy he decided not to take the case. I contacted another lawyer Apr. 1, 2013 and as of Apr. 4 ..I now have a lawyer in a matter of 4 days. What took him so long? That is what I would like to know..was he paid off? Who knows and who cares...Now since I sent him most of my medical records so he wouldn't have to pay to get them I just wonder how long it will take him to send them back. I sent them to him 2 days after he requested them but I bet it will take him 3 months to send them back. Just sayin...He doesn't cared about people or what people have gone through..He has no sympathy how much pain one can be in...Please, find yourself another lawyer who cares !!
