Wonderful attorney

My husband and I hired Scott to creat trust accounts for us. He did an excellent job. We were both impressed by his knowledge base of family law, in conjunction with his compassionate personality . Scott answered all of our questions. He was able to convey recommendations in an easy to understand w...ay for us as lay people. We will definitely continue to retain Scott for any future legal matters, and we can't say enough good about him.

Helped w/bankruptcy case

My wife and I hired Mr. Ciolek to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for us. It was an embarrassing situation to be in but he made us feel comfortable discussing our financial situation with him... The entire process was less stressful because his office kept us updated and prepared us for each step. I'd re...commend him to anyone in financial distress!

Unknown lawyer | Mar 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of knowing Scott from prior to his entering the practice of law. He is so intelligent and approaches the law with such a unique approach and with such effort and dedication that I have seen him get results for his clients that were not imagined (by the client or by other attorneys) at the outset. Scott is never content to settle into a "business as usual" attitude regarding his client's matters and he will explore and exploit all possible avenues in his representation of 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.
