Three words for Joe - Compassionate respected expert!

Several months ago I made a bad decision in which the possible consequences of my actions could have harmed my family for years. I was in a very desperate situation. I contacted Joe Scott seeking help and advice. He and his staff quickly took charge and went to work to help stabilize my immediate ...personal situation and remedy my legal matters. Not only did he work with the presiding judge and prosecutor to resolve my case in an extremely favorable manner, he worked with them afterwards to clear up some confusion with my state’s DMV which could have resulted with some extremely harsh penalties. Three words for Joe - Compassionate respected expert! Thank you.

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.
