Hiring her was the BEST decision I made regarding my case

I hired Attorney Scott after 3 years of me fighting a custody case/ parentage case. My former attorneys strung me along for years only wanting to continue to collect monthly payments in exchange for continued court dates. Letting them go was the best thing I could have done. It allowed me to find and... hire Attorney Scott. She is highly informed with what the law says concerning specific matters. Nicole immediately came in with a plan and her execution was seamless! She was fair regarding pricing and an awesome communicator. I felt that I was always informed and knew exactly where the case was going. I am forever grateful that she saved my family. Thank you so much!

Great experience

My experience with NMS Law Firm was exceptional. From the moment I reached out, their professionalism was evident. They took the time to understand my case thoroughly, offering clear guidance and expertise every step of the way. What truly stood out was their responsiveness. Whenever I had a quest...ion or concern, they were quick to address it, providing timely updates and keeping me informed throughout the process. It was reassuring to know that they were always just a phone call or email away, ready to assist me. In terms of value, NMS Law Firm exceeded my expectations. Not only did they deliver results, but they did so efficiently and effectively, maximizing the outcome while respecting my time and budget. Their dedication to providing quality service at a fair price was truly commendable. Overall, my experience with NMS Law Firm was nothing short of excellent. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and value set them apart, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I was very satisfied with my results and ver...y pleased with her services and the price that they agreed to help me with my case I highly recommend for anyone else.

"Attorney Scott is one of the hardest working, most dedicated people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Attorney Scott has an enormous heart and goes the extra mile to serve her clients. Attorney Scott and I attended The John Marshall Law School together where I had the pleasure to study alongside her for 3 years. During the years of study together I got to learn how great of a person she is. She was always studying longer and harder than others and obtaining the VERY BEST grades. Attorney Scott is an attorney I often turn to for answers to questions I have. Any time anyone asks me for a family law attorney I ALWAYS refer them to Attorney Scott. The reason I refer to her is because she is passionate, very diligent and truly cares about the advocacy that she performs. Attorney Scott is one of the brightest legal minds I know. I HIGHLY recommend Attorney Scott for all of your Family Law needs."
