Very pleased with an extremely thorough job.

Mr. Gosnell drew up my corporation papers, my living will, and my last will and testament. Having recently gone through the process of executing a relative's will, I have come to appreciate the work that Mr. Gosnell did for me as excellent.

Excellent Corporate Attorney

Scott Gosnell is the most fearless attorney I have ever met. He actually listens to your issues, answers all of your questions, and makes you feel more comfortable and at home. And he actually wins. I will hire Scott Gosnell for any litigation needs from now on.

He helped me get through a criminal case.

Scott was great. He made me feel alot more comfortable about going to court and helped me understand the law better. I will be using him again.

Very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Mr. Gosnell handled my business incorporation and developed several employee contracts for me. He has reviewed several contracts as well. He always kept me informed and made sure all the details were right. He is always available for last minute advise and genuinely cares about your situation.

Avvo Rating

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.
