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 cre...ate 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 h...im 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 kn...owledge 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 han...dle 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.
