Legal services poor

He was not organized and not prepared for legal appearances. He did not prepare me in advance of court time regarding what to expect. He did not read or verse himself well with my case ahead of time.

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.
