Douglas Charles Scovil

This attorney is poor at responding to clients. He fails to return phones calls. He was rude and condescending. Finally, as the simple divorce should have been coming to a close he dropped me as a client. He took the retainer, did nothing in return and walked away without finishing the divorce. Save ...your time and money and go elsewhere.

I hired Doug because a lot of people said he was the best. Not at all! The office is extremely unorganized. Constantly losing paperwork and information. Had to call his office several times to tell them my now ex address because they kept sending his paperwork to my address. Then double charged me fo...r a service which after a long period agreed I was double charged. Then again found more mistakes. Takes forever to do anything there. Did not really listen to me and what my kids and I needed or our situation. In the end he withdrew from my case without finishing his job!!! Please do not hire him. You will regret it as I did. If he was the best he is now a hot mess! Beware!!!

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.

First time I ever had a custody battle and thanks to him it has cost me. He didn't fight for me. He told me that if I wanted an ugly fight it would cost me between $7000 - $10,000. Knowing now, what I know, it would have cost me %11000 and I still would have lost. I gave him over $5000 and I woul...d have had the same result had I walked into the court without him. He is rude, he never gets back with you. You never want to call him because its $50 just doing so. He is terrible. I know why he lost all of his partners now. I wouldn't want to be associated with that name either. He is crook. Very disorganized. Anyone would be better! Don't make the same mistake I did.
