Litigation Attorney | Jan 25
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Mr. Melton and I represented opposing parties in a real estate dispute. During mediation his willingness to listen to my client's concerns and respond with empathy helped the parties reach a pre-suit settlement and avoid costly litigation."
Medical malpractice Attorney | Apr 02
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer. Great Medical Malpractice Attorney."
Personal injury Attorney | Jun 04
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse Scott. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
Birth injury Attorney | Jun 25
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"With years of experience and widely respected by his peers, it is easy for me to recommend attorney Melton. Handling a Birth Injury case is extraordinarily difficult and often very contentious. Major issues are involved and the process can seem exhausting and emotionally nightmarish for people. Scott knows all that (and more) and can be the one hope a person has in finding justice when the medical system has failed. I admire him for his knowledge and his skill and the fact that he cares, and I highly recommend him to you."
Personal injury Attorney | Dec 21
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. Scott is a great lawyer. I have had the oportunity to work closely with Scott on complex litigation matters. He achieves results that most lawyers cannot. He achieves these results through his knowledge, dedication and the respect he has earned from opposing counsel.. He truly is concerned with achieving gghte best result for his clients."
