This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Civil Eviction Case

I went to JP Court, (represented myself), to evict a tenant for multiple violations, and not paying rent for months. Judgement was awarded in my favor. However, my tenant played the COVID card, claimed CARES act protection and many other things, to file an appeal. Tenant was granted the appeal to ...a County Court. I hired the Guest and Gray Law firm to take this matter over. Scott Gray was the Attorney that put my case together. Due to a conflict, Robert Guest stepped in, and tried the case. Both of these attorneys were well prepared and presented a great case before the court. The actions of these people resulted in a judgement in my favor. This thing seemed like a nightmare that just kept dragging on-and-on, until I hired these people to represent me. With the pandemic, shut-downs, and all the mandates put in place to protect tenants, these people still got it done. Trying to get an eviction case before a Judge, during these terrible times we are all experiencing, is difficult. Getting a positive outcome, even more so. Their office staff were great, and they charged me an unbelievably fair Price. Thank you Scott and Robert!

This guy owned the insurance company lawyer

Case was set for mediation at years of litigation. At mediation the insurance lawyer was a complete ass. He made the mistake of trying to bully our lawyer and got owned. We got a great settlement and it was fun watching Scott in action. He's a warrior for his clients.

Car Accident Lawyer Who Cares

My family is going through a terrible car accident lawsuit and we chose Scott to help us. This has lasted years but Scott still takes the time to discuss our case with us and let us know what's happening. The insurance company is trying to get out of paying for this accident, but Scott won't let them.... We have worked with lawyers before and Scott is the best so far.

Would reccomend to anyone.

I was involved in an accident where I was the passenger and the victim of the whole incident. I was constantly worried about the outcome whenever I recieved a letter saying i was being sued by the other insurance company for an outrageous ammount of money. Mr. Gray made sure I was clear of any kind ...of money or responsibility for the incident and if i had any kind of questions I could call him any time and if he didnt answer I recieved a call back from him almost immediately. He knew I was anxious about everything and made sure to call me down and kept me informed the second he found anything out. i would suggest him to anyone. He is a reliable respectful guy and is going to make sure that you have the best experience he can give.

Here is the deal with personal injury cases, sometimes you investigate the case and find out it is not a case you can pursue. That happens and you advise the client to seek other counsel, which usually pisses the client off, understandably so. No one likes being told their case is not as good as they thought, it's part of the personal injury business though. We are sorry that this client was not satisfied with our services. However, we have a duty to be honest about the merits of each case. Scott is a highly rated and has been named a Super Lawyer by his peers. He is on the best personal injury lawyers in the State, and any client is lucky to have him review their case, or represent them. Still, the goal at Guest and Gray is always 100% client satisfaction, which may be impossible, but we strive for it and we are always working on ways to improve the client experience, even when it comes to delivering bad news to a client seeking help from our firm.
