About Scott
Biography
I enjoy trial. I enjoy being in the courtroom. I have built my reputation on my ability and willingness to try cases both before juries and judges. I have also earned the respect of my clients by providing candid legal advice based upon what my clients need to hear rather than what they want to hear. My clients may not always like what I tell them, but they appreciate understanding their rights and strength or weakness of their position.

Amazing
I have dealt with a few for name change, custody etc... And point blank even if someone else says they will handle a legal matter for free, I will go to Scott. He has handled three adoptions and a name change for me and without any stress or drama. That is absolutely amazing and beyond impressive.

Highly Recommend!
Scott helped us with all 3 of our adoptions and it was amazingly painless, they did all the foot work for us and handled everything very professionally! We are so pleased and our family is complete!

Amazing work and very thorough!
Scott finalized an adoption and guardianship for us in 2016. He went above and beyond and made sure during and after it was done that we had the documents we needed. He also got are new birth certificates very timely.

Scott Hamblin Review
Scott is a very reputable attorney. He truly has compassion and great knowledge for the clients he serves. Scott was our attorney for our adoptions. We are very thankful for him!

Best Adoption Attorney
Scott is always professional but always keeps you at ease. Scott is one of a few attorneys that know all of the adoption laws, and that makes us feel so relaxed and self assured that he will represent us and get the job done without any mistakes. When it comes time for the adoption date I am usuall...
