This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Thankful and Blessed!!

I am so thankful and blessed to have been referred to Mr. Scott Gwartney to represent me and my family in a wrongful death case involving our loved one. I found Mr. Gwartney to be extremely knowledgeable, reputable and respected in his field of expertise. It was immediately apparent that Scott was ...a man of high character and of christian faith. Scott realized early on that I was, without question, out of my "comfort zone" and he and his incredible staff did everything possible to make me feel at ease. Scott informed me from the beginning that he and his staff would be by my side through the entire process and, that they were!! Although I found myself at times having to recall and recollect information and details that were personal and difficult to discuss, I was always made to feel as comfortable as possible, under the circumstances. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Gwartney to anyone in need of an attorney in his field. He will definitely always be my "go to" attorney, should the need arise. Thank you, Scott for the professional and caring manner in which you handled our case. May you and your staff always be recognized and respected as the "Best of the Best"! Yes, indeed, I am truly thankful and blessed!!

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.
