PFA

Highly recommended, my sons mom tried to keeps us apart by claiming I’m abusive and not qualified to care for your son. The day we went to court it was a blessing to have Scott represent me because I’m pretty sure the judge would have took her side with all those lies she was accusing me of.

Best Custody Lawyer in Philadelphia

I was being in a bad situation with my daughter's father, the things escalated to a point that he restrain my daughter from me and he didn't let me see her just the days that he wanted, then at the court Scott did everything he had on hands to get the fair agreement that I wanted since the beginning ...which was shared physical and legal custody, what he did for me means everything!!!!!!

Feeling Much Better

I was very stressed about my custody situation prior to my consultation with Scott. Furthermore, when I first saw his amazing office I was intimidated but after speaking with Scott he not only assuaged my fears about the fees associated with a child custody case he also made me very confident in the ...probability of winning. Scott is actually one of the first attorney's I've spoken to in regards to this case that was compassionate about my financial situation as well as attentive to what my expectations are for an outcome. I will post another review at the end of my case, but I suspect my feelings and rating of Scott's services will not change rather if they do they will only get better.
