Highly Recommend Mr. Scott

Robert Scott is an excellent litigator who I have used for title insurance claims litigation involving real property matters on numerous occasions. I have always been impressed by Mr. Scott's knowledge, intelligence, and ability to obtain favorable decisions. I highly recommend Mr. Scott's services... for both trial and appellate-level litigation.

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.
