Very Satisfied

Mr Scott was Very Instrumental in resolving issues with my Father's estate. I live in AZ and my Sister lived in MD. There were several things that were wrong with how my sister was handling my Dad's estate, it only took 1 phone call from Mr Scott on my behalf to bring my sister to the table and agr...ee to my demands. I would Highly Recommend Mr Scott to anyone who is in need of an Attorney who is not only Knowledgeable but also is Result Driven.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
