Excellent Advice

Scott requested that I contact him directly after a post on Avvo he replied to of mine. Scott gave me very good advice over the phone with regard to handling a contract dispute I was dealing with. Based on our 10 minute phone call, I would not hesitate in contacting Scott for my legal needs.

Well versed in Real Estate matters!

Consulted with Attny Pavelle on two encroachment matters; he is incredibly knowledgeable. He made me certainly feel that I'd have someone in my corner should issues arise where I may need more help; but, for now, we are writing letters to give our neighbors the chance to do the right thing. Attny... Pavelle offered useful, specific information that provided not only ideas of what we need to do first to protect our property from further damage but how to handle each encroachment matter. He also emphasized that we must decide on what we'd be willing to accept to make us "feel" whole again from the damage done to our property, even though one of the issues cannot possibly be restored but simulated. He also quoted the law section several times, provided calculation resources for evaluating the destroyed privacy and other encroachments, and he advised me on how our issues could play out. He was very thorough and thoughtful. I would highly recommend him!

Like getting legal advice from your best friend! Superb Lawyer!

I sent an inquiry to Scott regarding a small claims issue. He was very professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to provide me with the legal advice that I was seeking knowing that the value of the case would probably preclude me from retaining his services.

Excellent & Informed

Very good counsel on contract matters for us - thorough and complete service.

Posted by anonymous | April 24, 2017 | Real Estate

Honest, helpful, and very knowledgeable

This was in regard to the purchase of an acre of land that we are contemplating on purchasing. He told us legal traps to watch out for, what all needed to be done, and how he could help us. He was terrific. Although this was a consultation, we may decide to hire him in the future.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
