Excellent experience

Fantastic Lawyer!!

I wish I could find all the right words to explain how extremely lucky I felt to have found Scott to take on my very lengthy custody battle. I had met with other lawyers in the area and was feeling defeted in my search for representation until I met with Scott. He was extremely professional, was quic...k to respond to questions/concerns, and was 100% upfront and realistic about the process. He fought hard for my child and I and reached the best outcome possible!

Honest and fights for you.

Scott is very honest with what he thinks which i refreshing for a lawyer. He wont waste your time or money on nonsense. He is a very nice guy and very firm in the courtrooms. He is amazing at getting results. I have had the chief of police tell me i got a good "hound dog" which if i were scott i woul...d take that as a compliment.i am so happy he is/was my attorney

You want Scott as your attorney

Scott Sylkatis is truly a genuine guy. He was very hard working for the entire duration of my child custody/divorce case. He truly cares about his clients and their families and works his hardest towards your wants/needs. He is very knowledgeable in law, extremely detail oriented, kept me well inform...ed, and answered any questions that I may have had quickly(whether it be through direct phone calls, texts, or emails). I never felt as if I was “left in the dark” during this case. He made sure to explain every detail of the process to me. I truly trust him as an attorney and would recommend him highly to others. He isn’t one to play games and nickel and dime you at every turn but; to the contrary, tries his best to save you money. He has a fair price and always worked through payments with me. Thank you again Scott for all that you did for my family and myself.

Incredible Work Ethic!

Scott is the reason I spend so much time with my Children today. I have never felt more empowered knowing Scott is advocating on my behalf. And I am wildly impressed with how much effort he devotes to understanding my issues and working to achieve the best possible legal outcome. Always returns calls..., emails, provides regular updates, is honest, logical, diligent. For the last two years I have never doubted Scott's decisions, and I have always been astonished with his ability to listen and understand all aspect of each circumstance. I am grateful he is on my side.

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.
