D. Scott Lautner

I have been using Scott Lautner as my Attorney for over 14 years,specifically for Divorce,Custody, and Child Supprt matters. He is experienced, professional, knowledgeable,and honest. He is always available to answer questions. I also appreciate that he offers appointments on Saturdays. I recommend h...im to anyone looking to hire an attorney.

Bad NEWS! This guy is so bad I ended up negotiating my divorce with my Ex-wife and her attorney directly. This guy could not negotiate visitation terms or even win a simple case involving transportation. He would NEVER return phone calls, never return e-mails, and never consult with you about your ca...se, strategy, or anything. He's horrible at answering our questions (HUGE ego problem - God Complex). He would never call you to let you know what happened in court when he would represent you in your absence. He is a rogue attorney who goes off and files things (whenever he gets around to it - When he feels like it) without your knowledge or permission. He even screwed up my custody case wherein my daughter had been sexually assaulted in her home by waiting for months too long to file any paperwork. The Judge yelled at him about this in court! This guy could not win his way out of a wet paper bag let alone ANY case in court! He's a useless waste of Oxygen! Please do not waste your money on this Bad, Bad, Bad Lawyer!!! Needless to say, I ended up firing his butt after I had finally had enough. I'm considering reporting this clown to the state ethics board and the Allegheny County Bar Association for his clearly demonstrated poor ethics, misrepresentation, misconduct, manipulation and theft by deception. At times during my divorce, I believed he was possibly working for apposing counsel. That should NEVER be the case. I always felt as though my case did not matter to him. All he was ever interested in was money, and how he could get more out of my pocket. Slick talker when it comes to getting you to pay him but once he has your money, he turns into a ghost in the fog. If you hire this guy (even to wash your kids bicycle) you will end up regretting it!!! Trust me, I've Been there, Done that (over a few years), and glad I fired him!! He does NOTHING honorably!
