Posted by Jessica | September 10, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Amazing helpful attorney

I recently used Scott as my attorney. I was referred to him and so glad I was. I went through a custody settlement for my child and I'm so glad Scott was there every step of the way. He kept me informed with what was going on, when I didn't understand something he explained it till I did. Very down t...o earth person. And does the job above and beyond. Amazing guy an amazing attorney. The effort he put forth was just incredible. You feel like family.

Posted by Tracey | September 21, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Incompetent negligent, grossly irresponsible, inappropriate Neglect

WARNING: This attorney, licensed for 19 years, is grossly incompetent and fails to fulfill his duties. His inappropriate behavior and negligence have severely harmed my case, creating significant issues. He neglected to appear in court, failed to obtain necessary discovery documents on time, and prov...ided no assistance whatsoever. I was forced to hire additional attorneys and publicly expose his misconduct through Google reviews. He is unresponsive, with a 342-day period of inaction leading to his termination. His communication is nonexistent unless extreme measures are taken. Regardless of your identity, if you hire an attorney, they must uphold their oath to do no harm to their clients. Scott’s actions have caused me substantial harm, prolonging my case by another year, which has already dragged on for three years. Save yourself the frustration and seek representation elsewhere.
