Stop scrolling you just found your Family Lawyer!

I don’t even know where to start… Scott, and his associate Colin are excellent lawyers. It was more than obvious that Scott had experience, empathy, communication, and numerous other exemplary skills. We hired them to help us in a custody case that was very emotional and it had many moving parts. The...y not only got to know us, but they got to know the children on a personal level. This made it much easier for them as they went through this very hard time in their life. I couldn’t be more impressed with how Scott navigated the court system. He obviously is respected by his peers as well as the judges and hearing officers. Even though our case was settled issues pop up from time to time and when I reach out they respond quickly with the guidance that I need. A friend recommended Scott and he lived up to every high expectations that had been set.

Knowlegable Lawyer

I recently found myself in the world of family law, and while I had the pleasure of working with a highly competent lawyer named Scott, I learned a valuable lesson about the importance of communication in legal matters. Scott knows his stuff when it comes to family practice—his expertise is unden...iable! However, I quickly realized that his communication style left a lot to be desired. Without taking the initiative to schedule weekly calls for updates, I would have been left in the dark about the status of my case. His calls were brief, and even though I appreciated the updates, I often found myself wishing for more thorough explanations. And let’s be real, legal services aren't cheap. I expected a bit more engagement given the investment. So, here's my takeaway: if you're diving into family law (or any legal matter), don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself! Set up those regular check-ins, ask questions, and ensure you're getting the clarity you deserve. Communication is key, and it can make all the difference in your experience.

Terrible Experience - Stay Away!

I wish I could give zero stars. Hiring Scott Lisgar for my child custody case was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. First, they charge outrageously high fees but completely fail to deliver on even the most basic aspects of service. For the amount of money I paid, I expected at least decent c...ommunication. Instead, I was met with constant silence and had to chase them down for updates every single time. Emails and phone calls went unanswered for days or even weeks. When I did manage to get a response, it was short, dismissive, and lacked any useful information. In such a stressful and sensitive situation, the last thing you need is to feel ignored by the person who is supposed to be advocating for you and your child. It’s clear they care more about collecting fees than actually helping their clients. I deeply regret hiring Scott Lisgar and would strongly advise anyone considering their services to look elsewhere. Save yourself the frustration, heartache, and money.

Truly grateful

Scott is an excellent attorney, and I am so appreciative of his support and hard work in handling my divorce. He communicates efficiently, with care and empathy. I always felt supported, and he helped me understand the legal process and made it less overwhelming. At times I was very emotional, and S...cott was able to ease my anxiety with a simple phone call. His expertise guided me through the most difficult time of my life and trusting him resulted in a quick resolution setting me free from my abusive marriage. I can’t remember the last time I felt as happy as I do right now. I am forever grateful to Scott and highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

Impeccable Service

Attorney Scott Lisgar is consistently successful and highly experienced in resolutions of divorce, support, child custody, equitable distribution, harassment, and orders of protection (among most other practices of law). Scott’s no nonsense approach and impeccable reputation among his peers speak for... themselves. He gets results that are enforceable and works extremely hard to keep clients informed about the processes of the court systems and the short and longterm outcomes of the orders he procures. The staff is friendly and efficient, phone calls are promptly returned and Scott is personally accessible during the entire process. Over the course of the last 18 years, as a Realtor, I have confidently referred clients going through separations, divorces, estate liquidation and property settlements with excellent results. His associates are also highly specialized and true professionals.
