Divorce

Scott M Finelli is a great Attorney, he makes sure that his clients are well protected and looks out for whom he is representing. He’s very reasonable, passionate of what he does, has great personality and always answers all your questions. If he’s with another client he makes sure to call you right ...back at a reasonable time. I highly recommend Scott Finelli. Thank you for providing me with the highest level of customer service. Sincerely Michael

No time for you

He will run your bill up, and not listen to your needs. He will continue to disregard your instructions and will not be your advocate. He has no time for you and will charge you for literally doing nothing on your case. I had to ask him multiple times to do most things and he would charge each email ...and response while not actually doing what I asked. Then, after he has your money, he will not respond to any follow up. 4 or so times asking to reach out to the other attorney and he would respond with just wait and be patient charging for each email or call, then finally would get tired of me asking (or maybe he felt he made enough off me) and he would reach out and the solution was made in seconds. I did the work, he did nothing. I have the emails.

Since I am not sure as to who you are, I can neither defend/explain myself to you nor pinpoint exactly what it is you are unhappy about. While I empathize with your comments and understand perceptions about why things occur in a representation can vary, this is not how I deal with clients, if you read what other people who have utilized my services have written in this forum. I would welcome the opportunity to review with you where you feel you I did not listen or not respond to your requests. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss this further, as I would like to review with you what your concerns are.

Closest thing you can get to family.

Scott is the closest thing you can get to one of your own family members representing you. I don’t have a whole lot of experiences with lawyers actually this is pretty much the first. And he is so honest from the very beginning, I was worried about getting taken advantage of as I am not that knowledg...eable when it comes to the law. But Scott made everything really easy and he is very easy to talk to. He helped me with my divorce and custody that had been going on for months and we managed to get everything finalized and closed in my favor in less than 60 days. He is a god sent to me and has made my life a lot easier. I don’t think he understands how much I appreciate everything he did for me and the best part about it all is even after everything was done he follows up with you to see how things are going. If you are looking for a GREAT HONEST lawyer Scott is your man. Thank you again Scott for everything you have done for my kids and myself.

A Trusted Adviser and Strategic Partner

Scott gave me hope when I had been told by so many other attorneys that my case was hopeless. After 8 years of divorce, I had enough of an ex-wife who was unwilling to allow me any say in the education and upbringing of my 2 children. Scott genuinely empathized with my situation. Scott valued my i...nput and, as my trusted adviser, we crafted a strategy to lower child support and make a bid to reverse the established custodianship. It took 16 months! However, I received more than I ever hoped. I won full custodianship of my children and child support was reduced to zero. The victory is huge, but more than that; the partnership I felt I had from Scott was what propelled me forward in this case. He always was very timely in response via both phone or email and always kept me very involved as a strategic partner in the process. You may not have the same results I did, but you will have the same experience with Mr. Finelli; I could not recommend him more.

Excellent choice!

I hired Mr. Finelli to represent me in a Domestic Violence Injunction, filed by soon to be ex-spouse, which was fabricated solely to remove me from the marital home. Mr. Finelli did an excellent job of preparing for the case. During the hearing he totally had control of the situation, blowing so ma...ny holes in her petition, and statements to the police, it was remarkable. He made my spouse's lawyer appear as if she knew nothing regarding litigation. Despite the false accusations and charges brought upon me by my spouse, I honestly felt bad for her because it must have been painfully embarrassing witnessing Mr. Finelli own her lawyer and the tempo of the ligation the way he did. The DVI was dropped halfway through Mr. Finelli's cross examination. If you are seeking an intelligent, honest, caring, and devoted attorney who will passionately defend your rights, look no further than Scott Finleeli.
