Really did me wrong
Scott Ives is not the guy you want to hire. I am a now divorced mom of three, at first he was great, he turned so ugly so fast. My divorce was complicated. I had 50k of credit card debt from house hold expenses, was a stay at home mom with three children under 6. We were renovating the home and liv...
Scott Ives
Replied last January 06, 2017This is the first bad review I’ve received on Avvo after fourteen five star ratings. I guess it is to be expected that after almost 30 years of practice there will be an unhappy ex-client, but it is still disappointing. I’m sorry that this client was not happy with my services. Virginia ethics rules and professionalism prevent me from defending myself by discussing the facts of this client’s case. But I do feel it is important to note that all decisions regarding this intelligent client’s case were made with her full knowledge and consent. I am sorry that this client now indicates that she was unhappy with my services several years after her case ended. I strive to represent my clients to the highest standard and in a manner which leaves them satisfied with my efforts. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with this client to discuss her concerns further.
Scott Samuel Ives's Lawyer Endorsements
"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!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Ives and I have been opposing attorneys on several cases and I find him to be well prepared and highly capable. I regularly refer cases to him when I am unable to accept them."
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer. Scott is an extremely dependable attorney. He is conscientious and takes the time necessary to make sure that each of his clients' cases are handled appropriately."
"I've had the unique pleasure of working with Scott on many criminal matter and, unfortunately, against him on a family law matter. I will say this about Scott, his clients come first, and I glean tremendous insight about the law and the practice thereof, when I speak with Scott. Incredibly knowledgeable, absolutely professional and a great person. I highly recommend Scott Ives."
