Professional, Personable

After reading these reviews, I arranged for a consultation with Scott Rowland. After meeting with him I had no doubt that I wanted Scott to represent me in my divorce case. I found Scott to be professional and personable. He kept me abreast of the case and answered any and all questions I came up wit...h. Scott was extremely well prepared for a difficult mediation. In tense situations, Scott remained calm and kept my interests a priority. Scott is a professional at his craft yet has a personality that kept things light and even humorous at times. Scott Rowland did and excellent job handling my case. I highly recommend him.

Professional all the way

Scott Rowland provided great service while representing me in a recent court case. He was always prepared and kept me abreast of my case and what was expected of me. I have heard there are attorneys who will promise you everything to take your case. Mr. Rowland never promised we'd win, he did promise... me he would fight hard for my interests. In the end he did exactly that. I would definitely retain his services again. BTW, his staff does an awesome job of making you feel at ease and always forwarded my concerns immediately to Mr. Rowland if he was in a meeting. Great customer service!

Professional, Practical and Ethical. Best attorney by far!

Attorney Rowland is professional, ethical and knowledgeable. He provides accurate answers to questions and always projects a calm, competent demeanor. His staff is thorough and quick to respond to calls or emails. Attorney Rowland is logical and kind, he always presents different options and choices ...to his client and assists the client in making the best choice. Attorney Rowland is patient yet persistant on behalf of his client. He provides wise counsel and is an excellent attorney. He handled my complicated divorce case (I have a disability - Fibromyalgia) and was able to help me get to Settlement rather than go to Court. Attorney Rowland worked with me to prepare for every possible problem that might arise in my divorce, so that we were ready "if" it ever happened. He is always prepared, always anticipating what his client might need to do. He explained every step of the divorce and negotiation process clearly, even repeatedly, when I asked him to do so. He guided me through the Mediation process (which could have been very stressful) and helped me stay calm and clear-minded. Attorney Rowland has a great sense of humor that he uses when appropriate -sometimes you need to laugh a little during a stressful divorce! But aside from that, he's all business. He's smart, he's honest and he'll work hard for you. I recommend him with the highest marks!

Best Decision - Hiring Scott Rowland

Going through my divorce was very draining and emotional. Scott Rowland clearly walked me through every step of the process. He assisted me in getting my case resolved, while being honest and upfront regarding all possible outcomes. Scott patiently answered all my questions in a quicker response t...ime than I anticipated. His balance of knowledge, experience, and dedication to my individual case made hiring Scott the best decision I ever made.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
