SO Smart!!!!! Nothing he can't handle

I have been using Scott for over 10 years. He has helped with so many things. He is really a big help and I find that is knowledge of various kinds of law is outstanding. If you need a lawyer that is honest and will give you the straight facts...you need him.

Amazing Lawyer

I HATE LAWYERS... Until I met Scott! I was referred to Scott by an old friend for a simple traffic ticket about three years ago. Scott cleaned up the mess created by the lawyer who worked for me before that time. A simple traffic ticket had snowballed into what was practically an arrest. Long story ...short, Scott took my case which had become borderline criminal at that point and helped me clear up not only the mess created by my last lawyer but also completely cleared up the original ticket. The ticket was taken off my driving record and I got no points, I just had to pay a court fee for like $120. About a year ago I needed someone to represent me in a case against a pet doctor who did some permanent damage to one of my dogs. Scott wrote 1 letter the and we never even went to a court or nothing. The vet sent a check for not only the cost of his service but also payment for the damage he caused ($3,500 total)... not as much at I wanted to get out of him, but it showed that he accepted responsibility and was trying to solve the issue. I still hate lawyers but I LOVE Scott Yaldo and he will always be my lawyer!!!

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLES MIRACLE

Our company has been working with Scott since early 2002. We cannot ask for better service nor could we have a better group of legal professionals on our side. My company grosses $10 million/year and we find ourselves consulting Scott at least 2-3 times a month. We have utilized the Yaldo law team fo...r legal services for everything from debt collection to the traffic tickets given to our in-house truck drivers. Scott even helped us with our invoice terms so that we now have an air-tight agreement on all of our invoices making it easier to collect unpaid account balances. I won’t say the exact number, but the Yaldo Law Firm has collected far more than $300,000 in what our accounting department had considered uncollectable debts. Scott has become one of my most valued business associates and I’d recommend him to any company.

Scott is an outstanding attorney and truly cares about his clients.

Scott has represented me as a small business as well as personal legal matters for me I would highly recommend his services. His knowledge as well as his professionalism and honesty is hard to find. I believe that Scott is excellent at what he does because he truly cares about his clients. Scott is n...ot the attorney that cares about the almighty dollar . Scott is not happy unless you are happy. I have used other attorney's in the past with poor results and alot of money spent. Owning a small business there are many things that you need to worry about other than legal matters Scott takes care of those legal worries and relieves stress from my husband and myself so that we can continue to run our business and raise our family.
