Posted by Anja | January 5, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

hired for three separate things

Absolutely love Scott. He is flavorful in personality, knowledgeable in his profession, professional in his demeanor, and fierce in the courtroom. Hired him for three separate matters, and in each one, he handled it quickly and gave me realistic expectations that I was very pleased with. Pleased with... the outcomes and genuine appreciation for this person.

Highest Recommendation

The BEST family law attorney in Arkansas. He was honest and direct with me and knew the law. Great at communicating my rights and expectations. I would have him represent my child and that is the highest recommendation I could give any attorney.

Great

I used Scott for a family law trial and he was very well prepared and extremely knowledgable about my case and the law. I interviewed several attorneys before hiring Scott and was not disappointed. I should have known to go with him immeditately when his name kept coming up time and again as a reco...mmendation. I highly recommend him on any legal matter.

Outstanding Lawyer

Scott did a fabulous job for me and my children. I have recommended him to my family and that is the highest endorsement I can give. If you need an attorney for any family law or divorce case you should hire Scott before the other side does....you do not want to face him in court.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
