Wonderful, Caring Attorney
This is our second time seeking assistance from Mr. Scott for legal matters with a criminal case. Both times he has been caring & patient. He is fair as well as realistic with you on possible outcomes when consulting. He patiently takes the time to explain the processes & answers any & all of the questions you may have. I would ONLY recommend retaining Mr. Scott for legal representation if you envision moving forward with a positive outcome.

He takes the fear and anxiety out of hiring an attorney!
I typically don't review someone's services prior to the end result. However, after speaking with Mr. Corey L. Scott, I was inspired to write a review just from our initial consult. Because of a previous, TERRIBLE, past experience with another attorney, I had a lot of anxiety when I contacted Mr. Scott about handling my son's criminal case. But his calm, pragmatic manner quickly put me at ease, and his meticulous knowledge of the law and the legal system confirmed to me that I had, indeed, contacted the right person. By the end of the conversation, I was convinced that he would employ every, single, solitary option to bring about a positive outcome to my son's case. You also get the sense that he takes pleasure in taking on cases that might prove challenging--i.e. David vs. Goliath! I think I am just as excited about witnessing him in action as I am about obtaining a favorable result. Of course one can never predict which way a case will go or the outcome, but it helps and is certainly comforting to feel that your attorney is willing and prepared (excited, even) to go the distance for you. I am looking so forward to writing my final review!

A Great Attorney
Mr. Scott has been a true blessing to my family. After my daughter lived with me, exclusively, for a year and a half, her mother took her from me. The courts even gave her a two-year restraining order against me aiding in her efforts to keep the baby from me for good. After hiring Mr. Scott, I not only had my daughter returned to me, but was also awarded Sole Custody of my two year old daughter. He was a man of few words, but his actions spoke enough for him. I'll forever be grateful and in his debt.

Excellent Attorney
Mr. Scott helped me with my divorce. He was extremely professional and helpful during the difficult and stressful process. He gave me sound advice and advocated for me and my children. He then proceeded to help me with another legal matter when I did not know where else to turn. I will use Mr. Scott's services for any legal matters that may arise in the future!
