Professional, ethical and experienced

Mrs. Scales represented me in my divorce. She did everything she could to help explain the law to me. I received even more than what I thought that I was entitled to. She and her staff were professional and courteous throughout my divorce. I appreciate her help and will use her for any future cases. ...Her fees were reasonable and I hope my ex-husband is still having nightmares after our final hearing.

Professional and worth it.

My divorce was complicated. With the help of Mrs. Scales and her excellent staff what seem like impossible obstacles and stalling from the other side was handled quickly and to my great satisfaction. This lady is worth it!!!!! I could not thank her enough for everything she did for my children and I.... Now I can look forward to a happier future. Thank you, Brooke

Highly Recommend

From the beginning of the process to the end, Ms. Scales was professional, extremely knowledgeable and well prepared. I never once felt uneasy or unsure going into a hearing. She would always let me know beforehand what to expect at that time. Her staff was always professional and when I would cal...l the office to ask a question regarding my case, they were extremely helpful and would call me back promptly with the answer. I found her fees to be fair and reasonable especially after talking with others who had also been through the divorce process with other attorneys. Going through a divorce is a very unsettling time for people. It's important to find someone that will make you feel confident that they are fighting for you. I highly recommend Ms. Scales.

Recommended for most

I feel she handled my case well and the results were more than satisfactory. Yes, she's expensive. Yes, she has a strong personality. No, she won't let you cry on her shoulder (it's really not a lawyer's job, to be fair). But when she says she aggressively represents, she's not kidding (at least in m...y case). If you need representation in Family Court, it's worth paying for a consultation at the very least.

Over priced and charges you for everything under the sun

Hired her to be knowledgeable about my circumstances. Then I get charged for her incompetence in not knowing the law. Very upset with her services. Go find another lawyer and save yourself some money. A divorce with her will cost you 5K or more for simple cases. She will charge you for the air you br...eath.
