Posted by anonymous | May 31, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Great Lawyer

Helped me with my divorce. The only thing is I wish he was more time management friendly. I felt like everything dragged out for so long and I don’t know if that was on him or my ex’s attorney or the court but it was longer than I anticipated.

A royal D, but a great attorney

Doug Scovil represented my child custody case a couple years back. His associates have left and the staff has changed. I'm aware of some health issues as well. The secretary and office help are often unprofessional, and at times, unprepared. Which is unfortunate, since I know that Doug is a fantastic... lawyer. He's rather stoic and tight-lipped. I believe it must be his no nonsense, matter-of-fact approach that allows his to negotiate so well among other fellow attorneys. I would seriously recommend him to family and friends. I made the mistake of terminating our contract early for his legal services because of the terrible staff. I should of held out until all matters of my case were settled. My next two attorneys following Doug had been the worst nightmares of my life. Please take my advice and stay away from Jennifer Olsen and Dennis Jasper.
