Scott Lucas reccomendation

It is my pleasure to recommend Scott Lucas as a courtroom attorney. I had the occasion to use Scott’s services two years ago and I couldn’t have been happier: Scott listened to my concerns, explained the legal process and stakes in layman, but respectful, terms and created a successful strategy for c...ourt. I relied on his legal expertise and emotional support and he delivered both in a very strong way. I would highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
