A strong ally, dependable and reliable...

I retained Mark Scroggins to handle what could have been a very difficult and contentious divorce involving custody of minor children. As it turns out, it wasn't, and I believe this is a direct credit to the way Mark managed the situation. He was extremely professional, but aggressive and intuitive... when dealing with opposing counsel. His years of experience and his knowledge of the law and court system were invaluable. Mark was very accessible, but did not schedule unnecessary meetings or phone calls. He was timely throughout the process, and very thorough. He does what he says he will do. I found Mark to be a strong ally, dependable and reliable at all times. His staff is also remarkable. While I know he handles many cases at any given time, I always felt as though mine was the most important one he was working on.

Straightforward, honest and efficient

If there's any chance your divorce could become contentious, you need strong, experienced counsel. In retaining Mark Scroggins, I had all that and more. He was direct, honest, strategic, always prepared, responsive and ever adaptive to whatever came our way during my divorce. He was always upfront... with me and able to articulate the options and possible outcomes so I could make the best possible choices. As great a job as he did litigating my case and helping both me and my daughter, the thing I most valued was his candid, straightforward approach when giving me advice, something you absolutely need during an emotional time. His strong, steady way was a great source of confidence and support throughout the matter. When all was said and done, he helped me achieve the objectives I laid out to him at the beginning of our relationship.

Thanks for the kind review. Child custody matters are always difficult, especially when they are contentious. I always make a point of shooting straight with my clients so they know both the good and the bad going into a situation. That way, sound decision on how to proceed can be made and positive outcomes can be achieved.

taking care of business: divorce w/child involved

A very stressful situation for more reasons than I care to divulge was made much simpler by a knowledgeable and efficient law firm. I was given all the tools necessary from the start and all the info was top notch and accurate. Mark never failed to return a call or reply to any email in an extremely... timely manner. His knowledge of family law seems to require no thought, but rather naturally flows from obvious experience. Even with some not so ordinary circumstances Mark knew exactly how to proceed and did a fantastic job with my case. I'm impressed with Mark and the entire staff. His paralegals we very knowledgeable, and extremely efficient. I would highly recommend Mr Scroggins and the entire firm to anyone needing efficient, knowledgeable legal service.

Thanks, Joe. It was a pleasure working with you. Divorces are difficult by nature, but the emotional trauma can be minimized when you have a good idea of what will happen throughout the process. From our first meeting, I make a point of preparing my clients for likely outcomes based on strategic decisions that will be made throughout the process.
