Love ❤️ Scott Fistel

I have used him a couple of times years ago, and now he is helping me again. Great man, honest, and works hard to obtain his goals in a quick and efficient manner. Thank you Scott for all you’ve done! ✅ A+

Wasted a year no results no Atty just messenger- no file return. Statute is up?

They have had my case for almost a year. little to no contact, unless I initiate it. Most responses by text from “assistant” or someone else. Few to no continued updates. Get a letter saying statute MIGHT be up? Requested copy of file via text and email- nothing. No one ever ANSWERS the phone. Maybe... a messenger calls? No file.. wasted my time.

Scott is an excellent attorney who has assisted many of my clients. I would not hesitate to contact him if you have any legal issue.

Posted by Lista | September 09, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Foreclosure

Mr. Fistel Kept Me In My Home!

I first came across Attorney Scott Fistel in 2014 after my former attorney did not show up to my Foreclosure Trial, and a default judgment of foreclosure was entered against my Husband and I. Mr. Fistel sought a stay pending appeal, citing my former lawyer's malpractice and the fraudulent foreclosure... process. Not only did I get to remain in my home, but my former attorney returned all fees that were paid to him for the poor job that he performed. Scott is one of the best attorneys in South Florida! I am so glad that he was able to represent me in my time of need.

Foreclosure lawyer | May 10

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"F. Scott Fistel is a unparalleled litigator and negotiator. I've seen him first-hand in trials, depositions, and other hearings representing the best interests of his clients in seemingly impossible situations. However, with his grade of his experience, he somehow reaches a favorable judgment or settlement for his client. He puts other lawyers to shame."

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.
