Tara Scott Lynn

I would advise anyone who is seeking a divorce attorney to look elsewhere. This woman single handedly ruined my financial well being. She does not advocate or fight for her clients. My husband of 15 years broke my right hand and took our business. Tara told me I should stop living in the past and get... a job. Well I had a job- an amazing business that my ex took from me. I would love to forget the past but my mangled right hand is a constant reminder of what he did and took. That was her advice to me? She took $4500 and did nothing. No court appearance, no advocating, nothing but agree with my ex’s attorney that I should get all of the household bills, mutual credit card debt, and all business debt and pay for all of this with $2,000 a month. As well as take care of our two children. While my ex should get the business and all of its income???? I don’t know who in their right mind would think that’s doable or what the court ordered. It’s not- she was in over her head and instead of saying so, she took my money and my time and left me out to dry. I had maintained my credit and financial well being until she became my lawyer. EVERYTHING FELL APART AS SOON AS I MADE THE MISTAKE TO HIRE THIS INCOMPETENT ATTORNEY. It’s been a long divorce due to Covid- there are a lot of pieces to my case. I get it’s a lot- she knew what was going on and said she could handle it. She didnt. She is the epitome of lawyer jokes. Please don’t waste your time like I did. Unless it’s an extremely simple, no assets, no kids, no ABUSE case. I’m sure she would do just fine on that type of divorce. Anything besides the straight forward and u are wasting your time. I wish someone had told me this info before I wasted time and energy with this horrible attorney.

My family was going through a very troubled time and on top of everything else going on I was assisting my daughter to look for a divorce attorney. Not something you really think about until you find yourself looking around wondering where I begin looking for the best qualified attorney out there. I ...asked a my accountant a professional working in the area for numerous years if she knew anyone that she would personally recommend and Ms. Scott was that attorney for which I couldn’t be more grateful. Ms. Scott handled the case with dignity and poise regardless of what transpired both in and out of the court room. Ms. Scott is very intelligent and knows how the judicial system works; she doesn’t take short cuts and was always working tirelessly towards our desired outcome. Everything was explained to us throughout the process yet we still inundated her with calls and emails when we felt issues were arising which she handled as quickly and efficiently as she could. She even conducted in office meetings and teleconferences to provide us with the current status of the case as well as the plan going forward. I guess using the analogy of a doctor having a multitude of patients so you can’t just walk in their office and demand to be seen, our attorney also has other clients and is not at our beck and call even if we believe our case is the most important. So while we learned to dial it down a bit, Ms. Scott did everything she could to safeguard the wellbeing of my daughter and grandson by hiring experts in their field when needed to look after my family’s interests. I was rather surprised by some of the negative comments here about Ms. Scott. Having gone through this process and witnessing other cases that coincided with ours I believe too many people are approaching this process with aspirations of instant gratification, “the lawyer on television was able to wrap up their case in an hour” so why can’t you? Why is my case taking so long? While not expecting it to wrap up in an hour or a week I was surprised at how long it transpired, had I not experienced it myself I would have had no idea that our judicial system just doesn’t work that way. There are so many necessary steps that our attorney had to take to bring our desired outcome to fruition. Heck just waiting to get back on the judge’s calendar for our next 30-60 minute appearance, then waiting for court dates so our issues to be heard. I feel we should bear in mind that just as we have our mind made up as to the preferred results upon conclusion of the case so does the opposing party so until all involved reach a happy medium the case will continue to be litigated. Another point worth mentioning is if you have everything all figured out why are you hiring a lawyer to begin with? When I hire a lawyer I am doing so because they are the subject matter experts in their field, while providing relevant details is important, telling my lawyer how to litigate the case is not going to provide me with the anticipated outcome I am looking for. Finally I would recommend approaching the process with realistic expectations and checking your emotions at the door because they tend to be the root of most the disagreements that occur. In closing I would like to thank Ms. Scott profusely for the time consuming effort you put into our case. I would also like to publicly apologize for everything you endured during this case as a result of being our attorney. May all your future cases be less emotionally charged than what you experienced with ours.
