Best Lawyer I dealt with

Being in the construction supply industry, you come across builders and GC's that plain suck at paying, or simply don't care to pay. We ran into a similar issue in TX. We hired Scott to represent our company (based in IL). Previously, I would avoid attorneys at all cost. However Scott made this a ple...asantly painless ordeal, not only did we win, we also collected all attorney costs. I would 100% not only recommend Scott, but will use him every time we need legal counsel in TX.

Scott Wert helped me!

I was dealing with a very private issue that was effecting both my work and personal life. After one consultation, Scott took the bull by the horns and moved quickly and efficiently to get my situation resolved. He was very responsive to my emails, kept me updated, and was extremely candid regardin...g next steps, recommended strategy, and possible outcomes...allowing me to make good and informed decisions. And....we were successful! Not only is Scott a great attorney....he is a good man...and I really appreciated the way he handled my case and situation. When you are facing a traumatic situation in life what you want is speed in handling it and to know that the person handling it cares....you get both with Scott! Bailey and Gaylen is a great law firm....not only do you get a great attorney like Scott working for you...but you get the full brain trust of Bailey and Gaylen as well...plus I found their rates to be very reasonable and they worked with me on my payments. I highly recommend that you call Scott Wert if you need help with a legal issue! Thank you Scott!

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.
