Luckily I had never had the need for a lawyer before in my life, so I was skeptical in how to select one. Of course, google shows you a million results, and then ads in your apps after you search, but after calling different lawyers and dealing with their unavailability; I dialed to the Law Office of... Scott S. Ives, I expressed how urgent my matter was, he dropped what he was doing and immediately started helping me out on my case! He has proven to be reliable, knowledgeable, empathic, and well known in the local area. The other party had the "big" firm, with all the names and partners, and the more expensive bill, but Mr. Ives proved to be triumphant in the end; if you hire the other guys, you will rarely speak to your lawyer, you will end up talking to the receptionist, the paralegal, and rarely your lawyer. That doesn't work for me, I want to talk to the man that is going to be standing next to me when we enter the ring and that is what you will get here, with Mr. Ives! The big firm lawyer was so excluded from the details of the case, that that she would make mistakes that anyone else who is aware of your case would never make. Mr. Ives puts your case in the forefront of my life, working on it at any time your situation requires, teaches you steps you will encounter in the process and creates the right expectation along the way. I will always be thankful for Mr. Ives's services, as his relentless determination, and amazing work ethic. In a bad situation, where you need legal representation, Mr. Ives has been blessing to my life.

Mr. Ives is very upfront and honest. We consulted him about some home matters and he gave his assessment of the situation and what our best options were and what we should consider before hiring him. He did not try any subtle pressure into hiring him because what he would charge may be too much for o...ur problem. He said he would always be available to us in the future for help. He is very easy to talk to. He is very attentive and seems genuinely concerned with our problem. We really couldn't have asked any more from him. I would highly recommend him if you think you need an attorney.

My Ex and children relocated to the Sterling area and I sought representation for some custody issues. Mr. Ives was professional, responsive, and efficient. I could not have asked for better representation and Scott was both dedicated and highly competent in handling my rather complex issues. I hi...ghly recommend Scott Ives to anyone looking for Family Law representation.

Scott is an outstanding attorney who genuinely cares about the best outcome for his clients. He took the time to answer all my questions and guided me through a difficult domestic matter. He is highly professional, knowledgeable and ethical. If you are looking for a responsive and trustworthy attorn...ey to represent you with integrity, I recommend contacting Scott Ives.

Mine was a difficult case. My ex was extremely toxic and made this a very high conflict case that ultimately went to trial. Scott did everything he could to settle but she was having none of it and we went to trial. Scott is an excellent negotiator and also a bulldog in the courtroom. Something that ...sets him apart from most attorneys is that he is also ethical and never made choices that increased the conflict rather his intent was always to find a solution that minimized the costs. I cannot recommend him high enough.
