Christopher L Scott

I had several phone consultations with this attorney about the same case. He couldn’t remember the info I had given him when we spoke each time. He lost his notes that he had written during the consultations. He gave me a price of $5,000 retainer and I agreed. He said his legal asst would contact me ...for an agreement. After I did not hear anything for a week, I contacted their office and Kathryn responded with they are short staffed and unable to take our case. Kathryn referred me to another attorney that was not even practicing the type of law we needed from an attorney. I do not recommend wasting your time with this attorney for family law or adoption. He should have never agreed to take my case, give me an amount then tell his legal asst to contact me & tell me something different than he had. By the way, his office isn’t as busy as they made it seem. I checked into this and he took on several cases after mine that were similar. He was shady and dishonest, instead of being up front and telling me he didn’t think he could handle it or that he didn’t think we would win. By the way- we did win, so his loss!

This attorney has no resect for people and has called my wife a puppet and has never once exercised my rights to a attorney. After have been appointed this attorney by the state, I was never once contacted by attorney Chris Scott in over a year period while been appointed him by the state, and nearly... lost my children due to his lack of care or communication. I was fighting a dependency case for my two girls and was held illegally in the county jail for Contracting without a license for a year. I had been incarcerated the entire time illegally and he never once came to see me to give me any updates on my court dates, legal documents, or legal issues that were happening to my child. My daughter was bit by a Boxer at her temporary housing foster parent, and no one informed me of this incident. They even moved my children without letting me know. I have filed a complaint with the Florida Bar and took over two days to gather evidence and witness to get it mailed out. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!!! He had little respect for my family and would most likely do the same to yours. I suggest if you get into a situation that calls for a attorney, ick one who has care, sympathy, and is willing to do up and beyond what it takes to help you win your case legally.

I hired Mr. Scott in September 2018 to seek custody of my two children which I had not had for 6 years. His office worked timely and efficiently on my case, getting everything filed immediately. Even when they were dealing with the hurricane, Kathryn still kept in great contact with me. We went to co...urt twice on the matter, and my children returned to me on the second court date. He was to the point, and extremely professional. I experienced the best possible outcome in my case. I could not be more grateful to Mr. Scott and his office staff. I highly recommend if you are looking for a family attorney to hire Chris Scott!

If you are In need of an Attorney who knows Family Law and you need someone who will respond immediately with precise knowledge and will help you navigate the Florida Custody Laws concerning Divorce or Separation, call Chris Scott. Chris will spend as much time as it takes to help u better understan...d your situation and make you feel more confident moving forward. Chris agreed to take my case and it was because he truly wanted to help me tell my story. At a time where I needed a voice, he listened and didn’t make me wonder if he was going to get involved, he jumped right in. He has quality associates/staff that make you feel like you have a team of lawyers working for you WITHOUT pushing a large retainer or upfront $ amount at you. Very flexible and what amazed me is that he even reached out to me and would call/email on the weekends if there was something on his mind. He really showed true interest and concern for me and my family. I knew I had made the right decision to call Chris Scott and when you talk to him you will know you made the right choice too. JFBJR
