Tara Scott Lynn

While my case is not yet finalized, I have no hesitation in reviewing the Law Offices of Tara J. Scott. Ms. Scott is trustworthy, has appropriate empathy and is hard-working. Her office team is also top-notch. Paralegal Rebecca Argeaux-Ott is very quick to respond and communicates well. At the be...ginning stages of my case, I needed an emergency hearing; all of the members of the office were responsive, quick to action and worked to ensure a positive resolution. As a member of the LGBT community and as a father, I was concerned that some attorneys may show judgment or lack of knowledge regarding the law; Ms. Scott is well-versed in the law, especially concerning LGBT rights, and is considerate of gay parenting. I would highly recommend Ms. Scott and her law office.

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.

Hired ms scott two years ago. In those two years she has hired and fired about 10 paralegals. The lack of communication from her and her office was always crazy. I stayed due to the people that sent me to her and she knew my case and also agree after the intial 5,000.00 was done she would take paymen...ts for anyrhing else that she needed. When she was done with the 5,000.00 i was told she would not take payments and i had to find a new attorney or pay another retainer. I asked her aboyt the agreement for payments and was told that was before she had a heart attack and needed to lighten her case load. I said i would be in touch to let her know what i was gonna do. I called back to ask a question when a paralegal answered and when i explained what tara said i was told she hadnt had a heart attack but was in hospital due to stress but she was fine. I was told that she pulls this with alot if cliets that question something she does. I was told she tries to get rid of those cliets so i ended up paying another 1,000.00 despite everything cyz it was still easier to keep her on. During this time she went through another 4 paralegals n then mt daughters father n his attorney offered a deal. I agreed to take the deal i went back in forth with things i wanted and the wording...in between this time tara fired this paralegal then also n said she was closing her office n she was going to work from hm....i knew my case was sooo close to being done i just prayed i could get it finished n then id be fine...for whatever reason tara had stuff in the parenting plan n thentook it out..i asked her to put it back in n she said ok the next email she sent a few days later said the father signed everything n i just had to sign also...when i looked before signing i saw that tara still had not made the changes ibasked her to make n did not readd what she took out n so i said i wasnt siging it until she fixed the parenting plan n readded what she took out but was in their to start...she replied to me n said go get another attorney...im filing my motion to withdrawl...i was in shock that i couldnt say to her that there was a mistake..i know everyone makes mistakes so no big deal she made a mistake just admit it n fix it n it would of been fine but no tara took thinfs to a whole new level...very unprofessional n i plan on filing a complaint with the fl bar as i feel she is leaving me high n dry at the end...very very end with not another 5,000.00 for another retainer for a new attorney so when u leave people like that...i just feel what she did was not ok. I also after calling around to other attorneys found out more...another attorney i talked to said that i was the second person that had told him this same thing happened to them within the last week n it was from the same attorney (tara) so for me it was more proof that she is wrong and i have also found some of her other paralegals that she firrd throughout the years during calling ariund trying to see if other attorneys would help me finish this case and the things her other paralegals havebtold me about her prooves for me she is sooo unprofessional but for me she is also unethical...but the fl bar i guess will decided if she is unethical to them but if nothing else plz no one use this attorney...run run...she is sooo unprofessional..doesnt keep u up to date on ur case either..u ask her things and sje ignores u n wont answer u..i am not anonymous so plz feel free to contact me with any questions or if u used her n jad a bad exp also. The more of us that get together we can hopefully stop her.
