Professional and Concise

Scott handled our real estate transaction VERY efficiently and thoroughly. He was always responsive to my many questions and patiently explained each step of the process. A no-nonsense guy who is good!

Well Done!

I have contacted Mr. Yaldo several times regarding various condominium related issues. Each time, I was either guided or equipped with the right information to resolve the problem quickly. Most recent, another condo issue that I wasn’t able to remedy on my own. Mr. Yaldo took the bull by the hor...ns and had things resolved to my satisfaction in no time. Actually, Mr. Yaldo not only fixed my issue, the outcome was beneficial to the whole condominium community. Many thanks Scott!

Major powerhouse

I've been an expert witness for 14 years. I recently sat through an entire trial with Scott. I've seen more attorneys than the average person (dozens) arguing cases. He won hands down getting a substantial judgement in favor of his client going the extra mile every step of the way. I'm getting nothin...g for this review and now live in another state so I am not looking forward to future business from Scott, rather I'm being totally sincere and disinterested. He's truly a gifted litigator and comes across to the jury in a way I've never seen before. He didn't even refer me on this case rather I was already an acquaintance of his client who hired me directly herself. Scott is truly brilliant and a man of honor and good character. Hire him!

Excellent

I had an issue where I had to leave my home and face foreclosure. Mr. Yaldo assured my wife and I that he would take care of us. We found him to be a man of his word and I would HIGHLY recommend him if you are in need of an attorney.

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.
