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.

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.

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...ing there. There was 120k in equity after renovations. 50k was on my cards. They never got paid. Scott did nothing but charge me money and yell at me. I received the lowest alimony possible having been married 12 years. 8 k for debt resolution. No money for lawyer, ex was able to ruin my credit. I have lived with others for 4 years now due to the fact that I am in school, my credit is ruined, and income so low. He never got my photos, never received 401k. I have had to hire another lawyer. I paid Scott over 20k. Worst result of any divorced woman I know in this income bracket. He took time to review the law for every question I had. He had no idea about what is admissible and what is not. I may have been one of his first divorce cases. He was awful!!! Please please please if you are a woman, RUN. My ex 401 had several k in it that Scott failed to view, or review. I lost about 30k there. I am interested in a class action suit.
