Scott Edward Parker

I Initially called Scott Parker to schedule a consultation after briefly giving him a description on what my custody battle was all about. We then scheduled a time to meet at his one man "Law Firm" (He showed up half an hour late and said: I'm sorry I'm late, I was having a few drinks at the bar/res...taurant down the street claiming the owner of the restaurant is his client and blah blah blah ( Red Flag # 1 ) I gave him the benefit of doubt because I only cared about whether or not his experience and expertise / services can help me. He Told me that he "specialized" in family law and has won many custody battles for his clients and has had countless years of experience doing so! He was very convincing and used manipulative Persuasions such as," the judge is my buddy and we play golf together" and what not... (I later found out they were ALL LIES) he told me everything I wanted to hear just like a used car salesman. I decided to hire him that day after falling for all his lies and not knowing any better. After hiring him as my attorney, he made me sit down in his office and build the case for him, I did all the work for him yet I was still being charged for it! (Red Flag #2). I literally sat in his office for five hours and completed everything from start to finish along with evidence and everything such as recordings / phone records / pictures I mean absolutely everything, in immaculate order ! All he had to do was copy and paste (literally) ! He was completely unprepared in Court (Red flag #3) extremely sloppy all the way around, ungroomed, smelled like a carton of cigarettes, clothes was completely wrinkled and looked like as if it was pulled out of a bottle! this guy was a disaster ! I was blown away how unprofessional he was and most importantly his lack of knowledge. He got ripped apart by the opposing lawyer, I mean this guy had NOTHING, no rebuttals, no objections, he never knew what to say, always stuttered and ask the judge numerous questions which was actually upsetting the judge constantly ! It was only at this point that I realized he didn't know anything about family law .He didn't even submit the evidence / recordings I had provided to him which was crucial in my case and ultimately cost me my child's custody ! I remember at one point even the judge said to him : you're a licensed attorney , why are you asking me ? you should know this stuff , this is your case not mine !!! I knew right then and there I had lost the case and MY CHILD. And sure enough after losing the custody battle towards the end the opposing attorney asked me if I had hired him from Craigslist. (Wow) Scott Parker is the worst attorney EVER. he took THOUSANDS of dollars from me and took complete advantage of me at a time when I was at my weakest and most vulnerable ! I wish I had more time on my hands to file a grievance against him with the State Bar for negligence and incompetence, But I had to use that time to find a different attorney who was actually knowledgeable and wasn't a "con" man! I wouldn't recommend Scott Parker to my worst enemy ! The fact that this person is still able to practice law without even knowing it, is mind-boggling ! ( I guess that's why they call it practice ) Do yourself a BIG favor and don't walk away, RUN AWAY !!! P.s. I'm doing this for all the good Fathers out there hoping you don't get taken advantage by this person. don't fall for any good reviews. I have nothing to hide and I used my Real name, Richard.

Scott handled my divorce and stuck with it through thick and thin. He got the results I wanted and was able to change the Amicus' mind on possession. He stuck with it through a long drawn out process and activist judge who required us in court 5 times. He was reasonable with fees and cut breaks wh...en possible. I would recommend Scott for any type of legal issue.
