Not for me

Scott does not have an honest bone in his body and talked to me like I was his mistress after I hired him, continually making offensive remarks. As a young professional I felt degraded humiliated and he failed to provide quality rep, constantly lying about when he would have his court documents to me..., made crude jokes in front of the judge that negatively impacted my case and ran off his paralegal so he has no help. Plenty of other folks to hire don’t waste your money on Scott

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.
