Timely and Efficient!

I hired Atty. Butler after I was attacked by someone's dog and was just concerned about my medical bills and insurance getting paid. Atty. Butler was able to ensure that and much more! He knows what he is doing and will fight for what you deserve! He also takes care of all the paperwork so you don't ...have to figure out the confusing insurance stuff! Would highly recommend to anyone in need of assistance like this.

Scott did an excellent job as my injury attorney. I reviewed his profile and read the reviews from other clients. From there I hired Scott. He came to my home and we went through my case. I was injured in a car accident. Over the months Scott kept me into the loop. He learned that the guy who hit me ...had no car insurance. Scott worked with my insurance and the hospital. He did a great job making sure I had very little to pay and walk away with money to help defray costs and the pain I endured. Its never fun to go through an accident but Scott's legal team did a great job turning over every stone making sure nothing was missed. Thank you Scott!

Amazing representation!

I was injured in a car accident and the driver was ticketed. I had, what I thought, were normal aches and pains which were steadily increasing. I received an email from the driver's insurance company stating they paid for my ambulance and emergency room and in addition, they would give me $1300 dolla...rs for me to keep. That did not seem like a lot since both cars ended up totaled and I was feeling so sore. I spoke to family and friends who encouraged me to talk to an lawyer. I did not contact anyone directly but rather, posted to a generic site asking for advice. I received a call from Scott inquiring about my accident. I was nervous, however, he told me, let's just talk. There is no cost to meet. So I did.. I was instantly impressed by his candor. Scott listened to my concerns and hesitation at proceeding as I felt I would eventually feel better physically. I recall him telling me "you never know how the accident could have impacted you physically at this time". I sort of shrugged my shoulders but agreed to let him handle my case. He assured me, no settlement, no cost on my part. My condition started declining. I was seeing a chiropractor and visited a physician for a hip injection. I could no longer exercise and it was a struggle to walk a few blocks. I was becoming depressed. I returned to my physician who explained to me although I had osteoarthritis, before the accident I was not a candidate for hip replacement, but now, I was. Several months later, I had chiropractor bills, hospital visits and surgery costs to contend with. All was covered because of Scott Butler's hard work advocating my case with the insurance company. I am pain free and happy. The final settlement: $200,000 versus the initial offer of $1300. Wow! Had I not meet with Scott, I would not have known any better about my rights as someone was injured by another party in a car accident. I am so grateful to Scott Butler and highly recommend him!

Thank you Scott

I hired Scott as my lawyer after I had gotten into a accident. I was getting boarder line harassment phone calls from the ladies insurance company because I wasn't able to take his phone calls. It was a lot of call backs on both our parts. So I got Scott's name and number from a family member. I call...ed Scott and we talked about what was goings-on. I hired him for my daughter and myself. He was willing to work around my odd hours. Within the time I hired him to the settlement was only a few short months. Scott took care of everything and made this experience a pleasant one. If I ever need to hire another lawyer I will be giving him a call.

"Attorney Butler launched himself into the legal community right out of law school by taking a number of cases that other firms dismissed as hopeless to trial and winning. Other firms took notice.
