"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."
