OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY

Scott Kramer is an exceptional attorney! He is extremely knowledgeable and well respected in the field. He is determined to defend the rights of his clients and settle cases fairly and collaboratively. More importantly, Scott is kind, patient and attentive to the concerns and emotional well-being ...of his clients. Scott Kramer gave me the guidance, the strength and the courage to get through a very difficult time in my life. I cannot thank Scott enough for all of his support. He was caring, compassionate and had my best interests at heart. I highly recommend Scott Kramer!

ALL LAWYERS SHOULD BE THIS GOOD!

It was highly recommended to use Scott for my recent divorce. Even though he's a lawyer (and we know their reputation) he's a caring and kind human first and foremost. He guided me through my angst, calmed me down when I needed it and was always accessible. If you have to get divorced, Scott will ...give you the guidance and support you'll need.

Patient, Thoughtful, Knowledgeable, Responsive, Caring: Just a Few Words to Describe Scott Kramer

Scott is a fantastic family lawyer. From the beginning, I told him that the well-being of our children was the number one focus in our case and he never lost sight of that. Admittedly I wasn't the quickest, the smartest, nor the calmest client but Scott was always patient and guiding and talked m...e off a figurative ledge many times--I joke that he is seemingly part attorney, part therapist. When all was said, and done, and we walked out of the courtroom, my ex-wife told me that she learned more in the short amount of time she spent with Scott, than she did in all the time she spent with her own attorney. That said, if you're in the unfortunate circumstance of divorce, Scott is the man you want on your side to see you through it. P.S. His supporting team of paralegals are also top-notch.

My divorce experience

I was referred by Scott P Kramer by a dear friend. After reluctantly delaying because of the personal difficulty in following through with divorce proceedings. I called the offices of Griffin McCarthy & Rice and arranged for a consultation with Mr. Kramer. From the moment of our introductory han...dshake and throughout the hour and a half consultation I was made to feel comfortable with the care that Scott Kramer showed. I made it clear to him that I did not want to either go through or put my wife through a contested or contentious divorce. Scott explained the options thoroughly and eventually sent me on my way to consider all that we had talked about. The path that I agreed to was to have a mediated divorce. This required my wife and I to go to mediation sessions with an independent and impartial mediation professional. Scott listened carefully to and advised me on the findings that were determined to be fair after mediation sessions. He also deciphered legalese from my wife's attorney and advised me on any details he felt were not in my best interest. I came back to Scott throughout that time and had various phone calls with him which again proved to me that he cared deeply for the outcome of our case and most importantly to me that he respected my opinions and decisions of how I wished to see those outcomes transpire. Scott synchronized perfectly with another attorney who had been recommended to me and consequently hired to draft documents about business separations and related filings. Scott was highly professional and to the point in court and the process proved to be efficient. I would highly recommend Scott P Kramer. Divorce is the most disappointing thing that I have experienced in my life. He made that process more tolerable and comforted me with excellent guidance throughout a very difficult time.
