He was a blessing for my case

I can not say enough good things about attorney Scott Ives. He represented me in a fall an injury which happened Sept 19, 2014. Scott did everything possible working with Doctors, Insurances, hospitals, and Medicare. He showed so much concern for my healing. He always returned my telephone calls ...which was a huge blessing and a comfort. I would highly recommend him.

I refer clients to my colleague Scott Ives

I have known Scott Ives since about 2004. We have tried cases against one another, and I can attest to both his dedication to his clients and competence as an attorney. When I have been unable to take on a particular case, I have referred clients to Scott for representation in divorce, personal inju...ry, criminal, traffic and employment matters. I have done so with complete confidence that the client will be in good hands, and I have received excellent feedback at the conclusion of the case.

Personal injury

Mr. Scott Ives assisted me in receiving a monetary award for medical expenses and pain and suffering following an incident that occurred at a restaurant. I bit down on a pebble in my soup and my tooth was shattered. I required intensive implant surgery. Mr. Ives recovered all medical expenses and... received additional money for pain and suffering. His attention to my needs was excellent. He is a caring, kind and a very knowledgeable attorney.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Scott Ives since about 2004. We have tried cases against one another, and I can attest to both his dedication to his clients and to his competence as an attorney. I recommend Scott to persons in need of an attorney whom I cannot assist for divorce, personal injury, criminal, traffic and employment law cases. I know the client will be in good hands, and have had reports back of excellent results. Scott is an excellent attorney whom I heartily recommend!"

Employment and labor lawyer | Dec 05

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had Mr. Ives as an opposing attorney on several cases. He is very knowledgeable of the law and argues with passion for his clients. As a result of seeing his work ethic, tenacity and skills as a family law attorney, I know that the same skills carry over to his other fields of law; therefore, I have referred several employment cases to him, a field that I do not practice. I trust Scott Ives and know that when I refer a client to him, he will do his best to resolve their respective issues in the client's favor."
