Empathetic, Strategic and Smart

From the moment I met Scott Pollins, I knew that he was going to spend the time to understand my particular situation and support me through the legal process. Scott was able to sift through the emotional elements of my case to determine the facts that would support my claims. Scott was able to create a compelling case from the facts and did so in a strategic manner. Scott’s positive attitude pulled me up during times when I needed it the most and I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me. I could not recommend the team at Pollins Law any higher.

I Would Recommend Scott To Anyone

Scott Pollins was an outstanding attorney I hired when I was seeking justice against a previous awful workplace environment. We won the case with a remarkable settlement. He was thorough, honest, and compassionate throughout the entire process, and for that I'm eternally grateful. Also as a member of the LGBT community, I consider Scott Pollins an incredible ally. I would recommend Scott to anyone.

Amazing consultant for a fellow lawyer

I hired Mr. Pollins to consult on a criminal case where the conviction in a criminal matter could affect his employment at a large company. Mr. Pollins walked the client through the process of notifying his employer, gave clear and to the point advice, and was available for follow-up. I will call him for all of my employment questions in the future.

Honest, Communicative, & On Point

I walked away from my initial meeting with Scott Pollins confident in his abilities and ultimately hired him to represent me on a matter with my employer. He was responsive, patient, sensitive, and communicative. It was a pleasure to work with him throughout the entire process. Because of his vast knowledge and experience, Attorney Pollins ably guided the matter and offered insights whenever I had questions. He was on point every time and I never doubted that I made the right choice. I appreciated his sage counsel and will always be indebted to him for his assistance. I offer this recommendation with zero hesitation.

Truly Superb: Professional and Caring

Scott Pollins has skills within the arena of employee's rights that are ideal for anyone searching for strong representation. He is knowledgeable not only from a factual, legal perspective but also with regard to character, personality, and the subtleties these cases often present. He was able to handle our case with legal acumen and was both highly efficient and very thorough. Besides navigating the case with legal skill, Scott operates with sincerity and sympathy for the dilemma. Always responsive to calls, he will extend himself during stressful periods by going the extra mile. For example, he reaches out regularly—even during weekends and holidays-- to keep an open line of communication. I would very highly recommend Scott to any employee who wants a lawyer with superlative legal and communication skills, tenacity, ready responsiveness as well as an often difficult-to-find sincere empathy for the client's often stressful dilemma.

Professional and straightforward

I have known Scott for almost 5 years in which I have worked with him 3 times. The first time was in 2010 for a dispute over an exit agreement in which Scott was able to resolve quickly in such a manor that my former employer paid his fees and all monies owed to me in a matter of days once he was engaged. I had also worked with Scott on an executive employee agreement when I sold my company in 2012. It was a very complex agreement which Scott had my best interest while I negotiated the contract. Recently I worked with Scott on a settlement agreement for my shares in this company as I had left to pursue a new start up. There were several firms involved in this process and Scott kept the process moving along to achieve a settlement that I was very pleased with. Scott made it a priority to really understand my situation and kept me positive during this process. Scott made himself very accessible and was vey responsive to my request even after office hours. I highly recommend Scott for employment and labor advice.

One of A Kind

I have had the great pleasure of working with Scott over the last year regarding an ERISA case and going up against a huge insurance company. Scott is a master of his craft and an expert with ERISA law. From the day we first met, Scott has been nothing short of creative, smart, professional, communicative, and honest. He makes complex laws incredible tangible for a person like me who is far from acclimated to the world of Law. He is willing to fight for the "little guy" and I could have not felt more proud to have Scott represent me in the court of law. Our journey was successful and I would recommend Scott to anyone with high regard and zero reservation. A true gentleman, Scott is a 100% class act. Scott is a team player who went above and beyond the call of duty for me and my case ... for that I am eternally grateful. Anyone would/will be lucky to have Scott Pollins represent them in any legal matter. One of kind!

Outstanding attorney

I started my journey with Scott two years ago. During that time, Scott was professional and knowledgable. He kept me informed throughout the entire process. Not only did Scott help me through the legal process but he also was concerned with my well being as this was a very emotional time. I was fortunate to have Scott as my attorney and very pleased with him. I highly, highly recommend him and he has me as a client for life.

Timely and excellent results - An attorney that really cares

In December of 2012, I contacted Scott Pollins for legal advice concerning a severance negotiation strategy. Although this was a difficult time for me, Scott was thoughtful, responsive and professionally prepared to take on my widely recognized former employer. Scott is articulate, well organized, experienced and an ideal liaison between my former employer and me. In addition to taking on a partner in one of the largest law firms in the country, Scott was confident, patient and in contact with me frequently, keeping me apprised of any new discoveries and to partner and strategize our next move. Within a few months, Scott was able to successfully negotiate a substantial severance agreement that both parties could agree on, shake hands and walk away. I would recommend Scott to friends and if I had an occasion, would hire his professional services again.

injury lawyer

very trustworthy and professional but i think the best thing about him is that he really listens and cares,couldn't have picked a better person and Lawyer to fight for me....highly recommended.

Easily intimidated.

Scott advised me to tell my employer I didn't want pictures of women in bathing suits to be hung in the company cafeteria which was happening, and so I did, and got fired. Scott pretended to be wiling to help me and after i paid him at a hearing, he sat there and didn't say or do anything and then never called me back. He is a coward in my opinion.
