Disorganized, ill perpared,sloopy,Should be disbarred.!

I retained Scott Orsini for a divorce and custody issues. He did not perpare for my case at all, He shows up in court unprepared and couldn't ask a first year law question. My case was a simple and he still managed to mess it up. He over bills for services that he never renders. I have read all reve...iws and I see Scott likes to make excuses. So here is my advice Scott. DO THE WORK YOU ARE PAID TO DO. Start actually preparing for your cases, especially for your trials and maybe your reputation will improve. You need to be repersented by a lawyer like yourself and see how you like it. YOU NEED TO BE DISBARRED.

Replied last November 01, 2011

This review was fraudulently submitted by the opposing spouse in a case where I represent the Husband. The Former Wife made these same comments to my client over the phone the night before the review was posted.

Scott is the most turstworthy Attorney I know - Great Christan

I went to Scott in reference to a family law matter. I was referred to him by fellow Catholic members. Scott is a very honest and upfront attorney and a great professional. Scott was great in court and I would recommend him 1000% to anyone. Thank you Scott Orsini for your great service!

Wonderful Attorney

Excellent, professional attorney. He always kept me informed on my case and is a pleasure to talk to. I would highly recommend him.

There is NO ONE else I would want to represent me!

In my personal and business life, I have a need for lawyers to handle all types of issues. Scott has handled a wide range of issues for me from divorce, adoption, custody, corporate contracts and more. There is NO QUESTION he is brilliant. The two things that impressed me most is 1) how well he kn...ows everyone at the courthouse --- obviously, he has done a lot of work in courtroom experience and is well respected by all and 2) when I am anxious about my case, Scott Orsini keeps calm and an even keel --- well, that is until the other side tries to take advantage. Then, he lets them know that his kind manner is not a weakness ---- a different side of Scott comes out....bottom line, there is no one else I would want representing me in a fight --- he knows how to take care of business!

Not Only Professional & Knowledgeable...But Caring As Well

Mr. Orsini was recommended by one of his clients. He has/is handling a case on my behalf and I very pleased with the manner in which he has addressed the issues. Its all a matter of expectations...and so far he has exceeded mine. I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so.
