I have worked with Mr. Parker on several family and juvenile issues over the past 10 years. He has not only been an excellent champion for my family in the courtroom but he has also been a great help in navigating various juvenile criminal issues that came up. With his help my family is now moving fo...rward in a much more positive direction. I have recommended Mr. Parker to many of my friends and colleagues for both family and corporate issues. I would not hesitate to recommend him again. His help and expertise has been a blessing to us over the last 10 years! We are grateful to have found such an excellent attorney!

Excellent lawyer

I was referred to Mr. Parker several years ago from a friend of mine to handle some matters that needed attending to with work and family. He was very patient in explaining how the process would go and answered any and all questions I had. I would definitely use his services again and do plan ...to in the near future.

Wasted time, money, effort & emotions

Scott wasted my time and money in a family law case. He worried more about the $$ than about what he was actually getting done. I gave him a poor (but honest) review about 2 months ago which apparently made him mad because he just contacted me AT WORK to tell me he wasn't going to work for me any lon...ger because I "posted a one-sided review" and I "don't have faith in his services". A review IS one-sided which is why it is called a 'review' instead of a debate. I provided honest feedback in my review about the weeks and months of my time that he wasted by not completing the things he constantly promised me he would complete. The single remaining item I needed to have filed is a motion to enforce - for which I have already completed the bulk of the work - he just needs to file. Instead he chose to 'fire' me because he is not happy with my review. Perfect example of why he received a bad review. Finaly, weeks after the bad review he tells me he isn't going to finish the work - more of my time wasted. There are dozens of attorneys on every corner in this city - no need to hire this one.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Mar 25

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Scott and I were opposing counsel on several divorce matters----one where he represented the woman (the Petitioner), and one where he represented the man (the Respondent). No matter what side of the case he was on, he fought equally as hard for his client and represented the client zealously. Moreover, he was willing to search for negotiated solutions, where it was appropriate for the client and saved on legal fees. I found him to be forthright, ethical, and a good example of what attorneys should be."

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.
