Wonderful

Mr. Scott Wantland is very responsive and knowledgeable. He assisted me in the finalization of two estates. I do not live in the state and she helped to reduce the amount of time I would have to travel down to handle the legalities. He is efficient and assisted me in knowing what needed to be done.... I would have been lost at what I legally had to do to close these.

The best!

I was in real financial trouble and I knew I had no other option than bankruptcy. I was terrified to make that step but after meeting Scott my fears were put aside. Him and his team really made me feel more at ease in this highly stressful time in my life. I have since got back on my feet and I owe i...t all to the team at Wantland law!

Is Scott Wantland the best Attorney?

I was involved in a nasty custody case. I had used another lawyer who was not getting any results. My children were in a desperate situation. A person at work said try Scott Wantland. Scott listened and fought for what was best for my children. With every move he made we got a step closer to getting ...my children to a safe place. He is not a miracle worker, but if you will listen to his advice, good things will happen. How do you say thank you to someone who has helped your children Is he the best Attorney maybe. Is he someone you want standing beside you in court? Absolutely!

A lifesaver

Scott was highly instrumental in mitigating my traffic violation. As an out-of-towner with a speeding ticket, he went the extra mile to limit my stress involved with the case, prevent me from driving hours to appear at a court date, as well as reduce the fines associated with the citation.

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.
