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.

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, communi...cative, 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!

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, e...xperienced 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.

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 n...ever called me back. He is a coward in my opinion.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
