Review retraction

I once left a scathing revew for Scott on Avvo however, I was very, very upset, and later changed the way I felt. However, when I went back to retract my review there was no place for doing so. I have written Avvo and asked them to remove it however, they never responded. Not only did I make a mista...ke when posting that review, I recently hired Scott again to work on another project. If I am unable to remove the review, I hope that this statement tempers my original document. In case you are wondering, the original is the worst one of the bunch.

we should have read the 1st review

We found Mr. Sinton to be evasive, unprepared, and ineffective. We saw little evidence of any effort and he did not want us in the courtroom during our hearing while he plead our case.

"Let's get them in and out"

Scott was my first attorney for my child support case. His idea was to get as many cases possible and get through them with as little work as possible. He did not explain what was going on and agreed to things he shouldn't have. For example, he agreed to no discovery, which, after a little knowledge,... you know that is unbelievable. When asked about it, he just said, "Oh it is one of those legal things." Even the judge questioned him about his decisions. I see him in court with other clients and I want to pull them aside and tell them to get another attorney! When I finally got smart and hired a different attorney, I discovered what a real attorney is supposed to do.
