Trying to get in contact with you Scott, I thought you're my lawyer

Hi Scott, I'm your client. I've been trying to reach you for three days and you are always "out of the office" when I give my name. I believe you made a mistake in my divorce. I'm supposed to be able to sell my house or at least make payments on it. I own the house and I'm about to be foreclosed on a...nd lose everything I haven't already lost. I can't afford a new lawyer because when I did all the work on the case, you asked for it and then charged me for multiple people to review it. As far as a review, plan on being your own lawyer. If my mother wasn't a retired paralegal I would have lost everything. I practically had to force them to subpoena documents. Afterwards, they said they found no evidence of my allegations. I had to ask for the documents and it was hard getting them for some reason even though I think I'm supposed to be sent a copy. Thanks for the document dump by the way. I sat down for 16 hours making an excel spreadsheet showing proof of all my allegations. He seemed mean after that. Like I was forcing him to work and I got the feeling of "just go along with it". I feel the same way all the other negative reviews. Ignored, work not done, doing the work myself and being charged, felt like he was working for the other side, always in the dark. I felt like I had no power or say in anything. If I said anything he would get an attitude and be very rude in my opinion. I was afraid. I couldn't afford another retainer because nothing was happening with the case. My ex had perjury in the double digits and nothing was done to change it. I had no income for 3 years, which is how long it took me to get divorced. I do not have children. I thought you were given a divorce within a year if you have no children. I thought this lawyer was out of my life, but now my house is being foreclosed on and I can't make a payment or sell it. What a nightmare. I guess I'll borrow another $5k for a retainer for another lawyer to fix his mistakes. It's Friday and I've called for three days. He clearly isn't going to respond to me. I think the positive reviews are fake, unless I'm treated this way because I'm a woman or because I don't make six figures a year and he can charge an outrageous amount for his paralegal and office clerk to do ALL the work. God help you if you hire him, no one else can.

Scott is the one to hire for your divorce

Scott is a hero. I hired Scott and his firm for a complex divorce. He was able to navigate the many twists and turns that arose over the 6 years of my divorce process. He is brilliant at seeing the big picture and helping get to the end goal. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for ex...cellent results during the stressful divorce process.

100% ++ recommend

Scott was there for me with everything I needed going through my divorce, and well even after when I needed him. He was the only reason I survived everything!!

SCOTT IS THE BEST DIVORCE ATTORNEY OUT THERE

With the help of Scott and his staff I just finished what has to be one of the worst divorces possible. I believe I received the best results possible given my situation using this firm. I fired my first attorney for poor communication and "0" results and then learned about Scott through 3 good frien...ds that were very pleased with Scott and the results from their divorces. I'm a small town USA, Ohio guy and to be honest figured I couldn't afford this big city TOP NOTCH FIRM. I was wrong, ended up i couldn't afford not to use Scott. I would recommend Scott to anybody looking for a great divorce attorney. I'm giving Scott 5 stars because that is my highest choice. I'm going with 10 stars if you've read my review to this point.

Highly Recommend

I would highly recommend Scott not only for his legal expertise in domestic court but because he really does care about what happens to you and your family. I had a case that was dragged out by my ex and he was there every step of the way. He listened to my concerns and always communicated ahead of t...ime what I should expect.
