Excellent Counsel !!!

Great Attorney !!! I would definitely recommend her to my friends and associates. Attorney Kontoh-Scott provided excellent counsel on my behalf. Swiftly and adequately advised and fought for my right during my divorce proceeding.

POA

I worked with Anita to arrange a POA for my son. All my questions were answered, and the signing of the forms was very easy.

Short sale

Helped me in maneuvering into my short sale process when I was in a very tight corner. She took over my short sale from a lawyer who didn’t do anything about the process for 4 months but still had the patience to see me through the process without hassles. Thank Anita, Paula, Patrick and the entire s...taff.

Awesome

Very professional and knowledgeable. She has handled my divorce, fathers will, and the sale of my parents house. When ever I had any questions she was always willing to help no matter the size of the issue. Both her and her assistant Eve have done an outstanding job helping myself and my father trans...ition into the new phase of our life’s. There are not enough words to explain my appreciation and gratitude for everything she has done for my family. If you are looking for a lawyer that actually cares, your search has ended. I know I am only allowed to give a 5 star rating but personally she deserves more.

Great Attorney

I hired Anita for a somewhat complicated real estate deal. She was very patient and thorough, explaining all my options at every point. She's a great negotiator and made sure I got the best deal possible. I believe her fees are very fair and she was worth every penny. I would definitely recommend ...this lawyer!
