Scott Alan Bennett

From start to finish Mr. Bennett and his secretary were very communicative and knowledgeable. they made me feel comfortable from the very beginning of my case. Mr. Bennett's advice was wonderful in terms of obtaining documents and my standpoints from a legal perspective. His office kept me abreast of... goings-on and findings in terms of my case and kept up the fight until the case was won. I would definitely recommend Mr. Bennett for future services and to friends and family.

I came to Scott Bennett's office the week of April 5, 2018. I explained to him that I had fallen into a concrete sink hole on July 1, 2017 and as a result of my fall I sustained a left and right ankle injury along with a torn meniscus of my left knee. I was scheduled to have surgery as of April 30, ...2018. I consulted with Mr. Bennett and gave him all pertinent information and he proceeded to have me sign paperwork to take my case. I have my surgery and go thru 12 weeks of therapy. It is during my recovery that I update his Paralegal Ethel of my condition. I realize my case is a process and will take some time. Ethel informs me a month after my surgery that they are waiting for the surgeons progress notes along with other pertinent information from specialist that I consulted with. I have been speaking to Ethel for months and all the time I am led to believe all is well and that there is still documentation needed from the surgeon. All was not well! I received a letter dated January 8, 2019 stating that "proving I had sustained a serious injury as a result of my fall could be problematic." The letter then goes on to state that I had no documentation of left ankle pain but the physical therapy notes clearly showed I had been receiving therapy on both ankles from the beginning. The letter then proceeds to tell me about doctors and dates which were incorrect. The letter stated I had seen a particular doctor with the Rothman Institute but the doctor was actually with another practice. Then to add insult to injury no where in the letter is there documentation of my left knee surgery which I thought was the merit of my case. The letter was dated January 8, 2019 and my statute of limitations was due to run out on July 1, 2019, absolutely unbelievable!! To make matters worse Scott Bennett would not speak to me, if he had he would have been made aware of the gross negligence of msinformation that his Paralegal Ethel had sited. When I received the disc of my file which held all my progress notes and the surgeons notes, the latest date stamp showed September 2018. I am led to believe he sat on this information for 4 months and could have dismissed my case in October 2018 giving me more time to seek legal representation. What bothered me the most was not that he dismissed my case but that he sat on this information for an extended period of time and left me to scramble last minute to find another lawyer to take my case. Scott Bennett along with his Paralegal are very unprofessional and I don't want anyone to experience what I went through.
