Douglas Charles Scovil

Doug is a honest, humble, busy, hardworking, "tell it like it is" kind of guy. All of my meetings were brief and straight to the point, he took everything I gave him and knew exactly what I was talking about(saves money) we barely spoke, not even 15 mins at most appointments sometimes. However he kn...ows what he's doing and if he has questions he will call you. I had a divorce and child custody hearing. I brought him all the documents needed and he was on my side the entire time and delivered results. He knows how to negotiate and not scared to walk into the courtroom for you either, if things can't be settled pretrail. Doug looks out for his clients. If you are prepared he is prepared. I am so thankful for him, his knowledge, and confidence. His staff is pretty helpful too they are just a really busy place because.... they know what they're doing. Thank you again Mr. Scovill.

Unfortunately I used Doug Scovil as my divorce attorney. The divorce took 3 year to finish, what with all the things other dissatisfied clients identified. After almost 30 years of marriage and four children ( he is an executive), my settlement was my car, <$80k and a QDRO. The QDRO took 4 addit...ional years to complete. What I WAS NOT told is that I can't collect any of the QDRO until he retires, which he will never do. Upon his death, it will be reduced to a very very small %. I should be retired now but I have to work two jobs. It was a very stressful time; Doug did NOT look out for my best interest and should never have let me agree to that settlement.

I had a divorce with a business involved and he did not execute due diligence to reasonably appraise the businesses and the properties. He lacked competence. During meetings, I asked questions but he did not do anything, like request interrogatories to the other side. When I requested a meeting to... prepare for the trial, his office denied the request, but when a Caucasian friend called and asked for a meeting, she got a meeting right away. He did not explain that the petition filing had a statute of limitation and therefore the trial could not be continued, just that it could not be continued. My former husband told me that he paid-off Scovil, while I was also still paying bills from Scovil. Scovil held up (sat on) my alimony payments my former husband had made until just before the statute of limitations expired. Finally, I did all the preparation work and they did not do any. After I fired Scovil he refused to return my documents to me so that I could prepare for trial.

Doug is a great attorney, I justed started my divorce but he's a great man to work with. His staff is very rude and untrustworthy. He has been thru alot of staff members lately since he took my case on and I love him to pieces. He was sick and in the hospital and I cried my eyes out for GOD to heal h...im and he received a speedy recovery now GOD answered my prayers so he will answer mine. My husband lied in court and so did his father who testified and we didn't know he was going to have witnesses and we both were blindsided. But Henry County is so crooked that shows what money buys in this county, this is the opinion of one woman, I feel sorry for alot of people that probably lost cases because of this reason. I lost my lil gift from GOD for the above reasons on a temporary basis.
