"Strategic. Relentless. Respected — The Attorney You Want On Your Side."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Attorney — A True Advocate You Want in Your Corner As a professional law enforcement officer with over 40 years of experience, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with many attorneys—both professionally and personally. Without question, Scott Bieniek of Bieniek Law, locate...d at 3 East Franklin St. in Greencastle, IN, is among the finest I’ve ever worked with. Scott recently represented me in a very complex legal matter where I was the petitioner. From our first conversation in his office, I knew I was in capable hands. He immediately took charge of the situation, clearly outlining a strategic plan and tirelessly advocating for my best interests from beginning to end. What sets Scott apart is his exceptional intelligence and strategic foresight. He sees the big picture, yet never misses the smallest detail. His presentation in court was nothing short of masterful—he has a unique ability to convey your side in a way that resonates with clarity, logic, and common sense. His arguments not only make sense, they stick. Throughout the case, Scott’s communication was consistent and reassuring. He gave me the confidence I needed during a very trying time, and his support never wavered. His fees were more than fair for the level of dedication and effort he brought—always going above and beyond, giving nothing less than 110%. If you’re facing a legal challenge, do yourself a favor: make Bieniek Law your first call. You absolutely want Scott representing you—and trust me, you don’t want to be sitting across the courtroom from him. I give him my highest recommendation without reservation.

Character

How anybody can represent someone dead set on keeping a child away from someone willing and able to be there is the 2nd cruelest thing you can do. The 1st being his client, who wishes to use a child as a weapon and lie lie lie about everything.

This review is from an opposing party in a custody case, not a client or someone that consulted the firm for legal advice. The decision by a parent to file a request to suspend or restrict parenting time is difficult. If such a request was filed, I can only say that a child’s physical or mental health was at risk. Possible causes could include criminal activity, substance abuse, and/or mental health issues. If you find yourself concerned about the safety of your children while in the care of the other parent, please reach out to Bieniek Law. We can discuss the actions you can take to protect your children, which might include a request to temporarily suspend or restrict parenting time.

Child Centered

I just had my first conversation with Scott. I was very impressed with his desire to do what is in the child's best interest.

Criminal defense outstanding

I hired Scott Bieniek for myself due to having gotten in trouble for a 3rd OWI and needed to have some respresentation. Now I never heard of him or had any talk about him. Just was walking around outside of courthouse and found his office on the square and I am so so glad that I found him. I don’t be...lieve I could have hired a better attorney for the upcoming court hearing and the trouble I had gotten in. He really took the time to listen to me and explain as well how certain things worked and how the outcome could potentially be. Very well mannered and also talks to you on lamens terms as well. We all know you want a professional in the courtroom and a buddy in a sense outside of there to put you in check every once in awhile. He worked with me and explained all outcomes and what he could offer. I would have to say for the money that I paid and the service I gotten I couldn’t beat it anywhere else. He is very smart and knows the law like the back of his hand. Also if there is something he does not know, trust me he will research and find out exactly what it is and all possibilities. I want to thank him very much for working for me and doing suck an excellent job. Also Cassie in the office is very great at handling matters and considerate.

Scott is exceptional

Scott is exceptional! He is a very down to earth, humble person who sincerely cares about the people he represents and the work he does. I went through a year long divorce and Scott was more than helpful every step of the way. He is extremely intelligent and will never steer you in the wrong directio...n. He often said "You pay me too much for me to not be honest with you." I greatly appreciated his sincerity and dedication. I have had friends who have complained about paying expensive attorney fees for lawyers who seem as if they don't even care. Scott was definitely not that way! I will go through Scott from here on out with any legal matters that may come up. I can't speak highly enough of him and his work!
