Excellent choice.

I was extremely satisfied w/ hiring Rick for what has been a very difficult child support issue that i have been dealing w/ for years. Rick handled my case like it was nothing.. He's a stand up kind of guy & just gets the job done...Outstanding!!!

Provided clarity in a time of crisis.

I hired Rick for what proved to be a somewhat complicated divorce and he was able to explain to me what I was legally entitled to, what the law required, what outcomes would be reasonable to expect, and what my options were along every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable and open to considering... all possible solutions to a problem. Everybody in the office is responsive and courteous. I am glad that I chose to work with them and would recommend this attorney and this firm.

Review of Rick W. Scott

Rick's handling of my legal issues was thoroughly professional, competent, and timely. His fees were reasonable and his staff's support was exemplary.

Posted by Ozzie | August 12, 2016 | Hired Attorney

Just the help I needed

After our initial interview, I knew that I had chosen the right firm to represent me in my time of need. Mr Scott went over my concerns meticulously and explained everything in a language I understood, more importantly he understood me. I was treated with respect and patience. All my questions were... answered and my concerns dissolved. Mr. Scott and his team are professionals that I want on my side. I will recommend this firm to anyone I know. I can not thank them enough for helping me get my life back from darkness.

Seeing it through!

After meeting with several lawyers I chose Mr. Scott to represent me in a separation/ divorce case because he presented to be very professional, knowledgable, and my initial gut feeling was that he would fight to get the job done and he had my best interest in mind. Over the last six months my case ...became very difficult and Mr. Scott always was honest, reliable, and gave me many options and much guidance when troubling situations presented. He ended up also helping me settle a traffic violation which was a very smooth and stress free process. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in need, and although I hope I do not have any more troubles I will seek his assistance again if need be.
