An attorney with integrity.

I have worked with Scott Cain for many years. I am impressed that he gives honest, thoughtful and truthful advice to his clients. Sometimes it may not be the advice and answer the client is hoping for. Scott cares about his clients; he advices, consults, and counsels. He is available to them ...and timely completes all necessary and promised work.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Cain was honest, ethical and very reasonable. He was very easy to work with and very honest with us. We have used him on several occasions and have been been pleased with his attention to our needs. We will continue to use him for all of our legal work.

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.
