Estate Planning

Mr Scopel made a very hard process so easy. I needed to establish a will, advance directives, power of attorney for personal and medical and create an trust. I will definitely use him again.

Hired the wrong guy and I ended up in jail

Posted by

I searched for an attorney to defend my traffic ticket. First time offender , speeding ticket of 100 mph and I ended up in jail even though I had an attorney. Through out my case , he never took me seriously. I begged for mercy with the judge at least he showed mercy but not my attorney. My attorney didn't even know my ticket was a misdemeanor . I did a mistake of hiring him , please don't repeat my mistake.

Rand Scopel's response: I regret that your outcome was not as you had hoped, however, I did everything within the law to get you the best outcome available, which was better then the prosecutors recommendation in your case. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
