Truly A Child Support Specialist Attorney!

Scott J. Longton is a professional, kind and knowledgeable Child Support Specialist attorney. He truly ensured me that he will do his best for the welfare of my daughter in getting her what she needed. When my daughter and I first went to Scott's office, he said, "She is not to be left behind". From that statement, I knew he was the right attorney for me. If you are in need of an excellent attorney who will fight for your child's financial welfare, do not hesitate to give him a call. I recommend Scott with my highest reservation. MH

Scott Longton is a very professional and amazing attorney. Not only is he skilled in the law but he is also compassionate and empathetic when emotions are high. He fought extremely hard for me and consulted me in difficult matters; telling me what I needed to hear (even if I did not want to hear it) and was always there for me as my attorney and a friend. He cared very much for my child’s well being and future as much as mine. He did everything possible to work with opposing council (ex wife’s attorney) even when they we’re extremely difficult and did not back down when they became aggressive. Scott Longton is the family attorney for my entire family in various matters from business to separation and custody. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Scott Longton!

Longton! Thank you for successfully mediating my ex's latest claim; the sixth of a few more, I'm sure, lol. To everyone else: Scott Longton did all the things good lawyers are supposed to do, and I was particularly happy with how both judges involved in the matter responded to him - with obvious mutual respect between them all.

I couldn't bee more satisfied with Mr. Longton's representation. He was attentive to the needs of the case. I have dealt with other attorneys in the past who were not as attentive. Mr. Longton fought for my rights and for my children. I can say that I now sleep better at night because they are safe. This was money well spent.

A good lawyer is hard to come by these days and in Mr. Longton i had found a Great lawyer. In an unexpected turn of events in my busy life and in needing a great lawyer my friend turned me to Mr. Longton. He may have costed alittle more then other lawyers, but he is worth every penny. He made this terrible process and transition in my life go by so smooth. Mr. Longton was always informing me, guiding me, there when I needed him, would call me back if I left a message, and would always fight for what I was looking for. What i liked most about Mr. Longton is that he would tell me the reality and not try to "sugar coat" anything. He was really working for me. In the end I was more then pleased and recommend him to anyone. If you want a real lawyer, look no further. You get what you pay for and more.

Scott is an AMAZING lawyer. I needed more just some lawyer to represent me, I needed guidance. I had no idea what I was doing and was totally scared. He explained everything in detail so I was clear what actions were be being taken during my case. He was always available or able to answer my questions through his wonderful staff and my questions and concerns were addresses promptly. He's a family man and that shows in his practice. He cares about his clients and the children especially. I couldn't have chosen a better lawyer and I recommend him to everyone I know.
