left me high and dry

impressed when first talked to him had a slam dunk case with a post agreement that was bulit proof current lawyer was retrieing becaus of health and scott took the case but then didnt stand ground at all and rolled over for my ex wife and gave them everything they wnted post agreement said i get h...ouse 4000 sq ft which I build full custody spousal for life and child suport for 5500 also got to keep BMW m5 competition and have insurance covered now i dont have a house car kids and only get 1500 a month and now they cut me off from blood pressure medicine and insurance and instead of fighting tells me i have to jump through tape to even hold grouhnd only after i said i'm leaving did i get any trackshin and even now its not much and he was unprepared for the first case which the judge punished me for. maybe for some cases hes great but for single father who loves kids and just wants his family all that matters is money

This individual hired me within the last month, we haven't had any substantive court hearings and at our meeting last week seemed happy with the progress of the case. To address his review. I haven't "rolled over" on anything and the conversation about traction did not occur. I am genuinely puzzled about this review because the case is ongoing.

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.

couldnt ask for Better..

I was sued for custody and DV, several of the best attorneys's in pinellas county would not take my case.for fear of opposite attorney and judge.Mr Orsini was referred to me we met and he agreed to represent me and financially did not bankrupt me as other attorneys had quoted me extreme prices that... I couldnt afford and gave me a undetermined length of time that case would end.He kept me informed, and answered questions quickly so I wouldnt worry.. and most important.HE WON my case..When other attorneys were fearful.I Srongly reccomend Scott Orsini He was Honest,Knowledgeable,and most of all a very FAIR attorney.

Disappointed-Wasted Money- No results

I spent alot of money with no results. I called the office on several occassions to make an appointment to discuss my case and he was never in. I never received any updates...just a waste of time. When I finally got the appointment he was no help..my case was dismissed due to inactivity. I found o...ut by reviewing the court records on line! Horrible waste of time and money.

This client did not provide sufficient information for me to identify him, however I can say that I have not had a case dismissed for non-activity for a client who was current in his billing.

Horrible-Wasted alot of money

This was the worst mistake I ever made. I wasted so much money. He didn't keep me informed. I called the office and he was never there. He never responded to any messages I ever left. Should not be practicing
