This is the lawyer you need!

I cannot thank Scott and his incredible team enough for their dedication, compassion, and professionalism throughout my custody case. Regaining custody of my son has been the most important and emotional journey of my life, and having Scott by my side made all the difference. From the very beginni...ng, Scott approached my case with both expertise and genuine care. He took the time to understand not only the legal details, but also the personal dynamics involved, and I always felt like more than just a case number. His team was equally supportive—organized, responsive, and truly invested in helping me navigate every step of the process. What stood out most was the perfect balance they struck between being professional and personable. They were honest with me about challenges, clear in their communication, and unwavering in their support. I felt empowered and informed the entire way through. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, I now have the chance to build a better future with my son. I’ll always be grateful to Scott and his team for helping make that possible. If you’re looking for a legal team that combines skill with heart, I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Strategic and Skilled: Scott Gets Results

I’ve worked with Scott on support, custody, and divorce matters, and I’m so grateful for everything he’s done. Thanks to his strong mix of legal knowledge, strategic thinking, and skill & confidence in the courtroom, he's helped get the results I was looking for. Along the way, Scott really helped... navigate what was worth taking to court and what could be handled more informally, which saved time, energy, and stress. He was always there when I had pressing concerns, and I really appreciated how responsive and available he was to offer sound legal advice. I also really appreciated his quick action on a nuanced and complex issue that remained unresolved right before trial. He took the time to explore the legal specifics quickly and efficiently, ultimately bringing it to a favorable resolution and making it possible to settle the case. Scott is smart, quick on his feet, and has a natural rapport with everyone in the courtroom. I’m genuinely grateful for all his hard work and dedication. I can’t thank him enough for his support, and I feel confident recommending him to anyone who needs a skilled, dedicated lawyer.

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.

Thank You

I can not speak anymore highly about Scott Lisgard. I would recommend this lawyer to anyone that needs a well-organized and committed lawyer. He goes above and beyond and he fights for what his clients deserve. The best part is that he fought for me and got me everything that I wanted and more. He wa...s a great help throughout the most difficult time in my life.

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.
