My divorce case

During my divorce case back in 2009, I got screwed totally. My attorney, Scot Ellerin, did not fight for me in any shape or form, no valuable recommendations, and did not have my back. I literally had to give up my house, my retirement land and more than 1/2 of my lifetime savings, 401K and everythin...g in between. Like most guys gone through a divorce, us men just want to get it over and move on, so I didn't fight for much or under stress and not knowing. This is why I hire a lawyer to fight for me, but unlike so, end result was I got the very short end of the stick, with lifetime pension payment, lifetime alimony, child support (which is ok), everything else could have been fought or counter. I think about it everyday and feeling the aftermath effect since, and still trying to rebuild my life. I definitely would not recommend Scott Ellerin to anyone! A word of advice to the men out there if anyone going through a divorce, be sure to fight for everything and make your lawyer work for you, otherwise you'll be paying for life!

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jan 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Scott has a strong knowledge of family law matters. I have enjoyed having cases with him over the years. He is prepared to go to court (and does go) when necessary, but more importantly (in my mind) is he is willing to work towards a reasonable settlement to avoid litigation if the opportunity arises."
