Posted by M.H. | December 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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.

Peace of Mind

Mr. Scott and the staff at Hartsoe & Associates gave me peace of mind every step of the way in handling my divorce. They addressed every concern and issue I had in a very timely matter regardless of how insignificant the matter might be. They were clear in giving advice and instructions to compl...ete paperwork and options available to me. I would highly recommend this group to any person who is going through a divorce or separation.

Great job, and very professional!

I had a wonderful experience with Mr. Scott and the whole law firm at Hartsoe & Associates. I contacted them regarding a speeding ticket and was contacted back very quickly. They gave me all necessary information up front and there were no surprise fees or paperwork. Mr. Scott did an excellent job on... my case and the follow up was also professional and efficient. Thank you!

Excellent Results

Recently I was stopped and received a citation for not wearing my seat belt. To make a bad situation worse, the officer also noticed I was not wearing any corrective lenses and added this to the list. Pick your excuse, traveling, work, family, forgetfulness, life, etc., I compounded the problem by... missing my court date. It seems our law enforcement system doesn't take kindly to missing your court date and I received a nice letter stating my license was being revoked. I decided to seed professional help. Knowing of Hartsoe and Assoc through a Christian affiliation I was hoping they would be able to help. I was referred to Mr. Scott who listened to my dilemma, then handled my case with outstanding professionalism keeping me informed every step of the way. He had the court date rescheduled and represented me while I was out of town. There were still some court costs but the results were much better than expected. When I went to the courthouse to settle the costs, there was a discrepancy. One call and he was quick to followup and get the records corrected. I highly recommend Mr. Scott if you are in need of representation.
