waste of time and money

do not hire this attorney or this firm. He will sway you into paying a retainer of over $25,000 while doing the minimal work. This attorney is creative with the billing by assigning over 7 attorneys to your case. All the attorneys will do the same work eg. research, emailing, reading emails- in the e...nd, they will not do anything for you but bury you in dept of over $200,000. This is what happened to me.

Scott will mislead you to overbill you!

Scott Shell will raise your hopes up in making you assume he will help but only to raise your bill and drop you in the middle of trial proceedings. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone.

overbills and does not show up to court

Do not hire. Scott overbills you by doing research and conferences with other attorneys within the same firm only to raise your bill on purpose. He fails to show up to court to present your case. He hides when he makes wrong decisions over your case. Worst mistake was hiring this attorney who put ot...hers to do his work. He is lazy and a misrepresents his clients.
