Excellent lawyer

Mr. Nigel Scott answered my immigration-related questions promptly and professionally, he was very patient clarifying and explaining, and all the information procided was up-to-date and accurate. My situation changed, so we did not hire Mr. Scott, but I am sure that he would have done everything prop...erly.

Avvo Rating

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.
