Hire Abigail!!

I cannot recommend Abigail Scott highly enough. She represented me in a very difficult and emotionally draining family law case involving custody, and I truly believe the outcome would not have been the same without her. From day one, Abigail knew my case inside and out—honestly, there were times ...I felt she knew it better than I did. She was incredibly responsive, always took the time to answer my questions, and was straightforward with me about both the strengths and weaknesses of my case. I always knew where I stood. Going through a custody dispute was the most difficult time of my life, and Abigail not only provided exceptional legal representation but also showed genuine compassion and understanding for what I was going through. I never felt like just another client. My ex was seeking sole legal and sole physical custody of our children. By the end of the case, she voluntarily dismissed her claims, and I credit Abigail’s preparation, strategy, and advocacy for helping achieve that outcome. I sincerely hope you never find yourself needing a family law attorney. But if you do, I would recommend Abigail Scott without hesitation. She is knowledgeable, professional, responsive, compassionate, and an outstanding advocate for her clients.

Straight Shooter

When my ex cut me off from seeing my children, Abigail helped me to get back my access and renegotiate the agreement. She exhibited a lot of patience and good counsel in dealing with my narcissistic and manipulative ex. It wasn't always what I wanted to hear, but it was what I needed to hear to ensur...e I was mas making good decisions about my case. She kept things real, and I truly appreciated that.

Review

I hired attorney Abigail Scott to represent me in my custody case. She limited the amount of stress I felt during the duration of this case by thoroughly explaining the process and guiding me every step of the way. She was always available to answer any of my questions and helped us come to an agreem...ent before trial, that benefited all parties and most importantly my child. Her professionalism was top tier and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney.
