Scott C. Hinote

Seriously. I hired Scott for a custody case, and now I realize why people (and other lawyers in Ozark) questioned why I went with him without even considering a sit down with them. If you hire Scott, be prepared to never hear out of him. If you do, it will only be email. He never returns phone calls ...and you'll only see him in person when he wants money. He never reviewed my case before we went to trial, and I wound up losing custody to a registered sex offender (mind you I have zero felonies and I'm a woman). As if that wasn't enough, he asked for $3,000 from me...never saw him again. He then tells me that I need to hire an appellant attorney. Funny how when I emailed him asking about a refund, he can't respond to that. He royally screwed me and my kids over. I have already made back the money I lost, but I will never have anything to do with him ever again. DO NOT HIRE HIM!!

I hired Scott and paid in full only for him to take a year to get my child support raised. He figured up the amount I should be getting, then the day of court and we should go for $120 less than what I could of got just so we could, "get it all done and over with". I was not happy about this. I had o...ther concerns that he completely ignored. He would never return my phone calls and unless I sent a bunch of emails, he wouldn't reply. My ex kept my daughter from me for 3 days and Scott wouldn't do anything about it. I do NOT recommend hiring him. He may be fairly priced but he is not a good lawyer.

We used Scott Hinote for a modification and he did a poor job representing our case. He didn't take the time to learn about the details, we sat in the court area while he was arguing the case with the judge in the judge's chambers and he did a poor job against the other attorney even though we had a... strong case. He doesn't return calls or inquiries in a timely manner. He convinced us into accepting the other parties offer even though the judge would have granted more time. I would NOT recommend Hinote to anyone except my enemies. Oh, he also likes to make fun of the parties on his facebook page. Very poor professionalism.
