Aggressive and Dedicated Representation, Regardless the Situation.

Since I started my practice, I have assisted clients in a variety of matters.  I began by appearing immediately in Court, and first-chaired a three-day jury trial by the end of the first year.  I always strive to keep clients informed and create postive outcomes in uncertain situations.

I handle all types of probate/estate matters.  I have prepared wills for clients and represented heirs in situations requiring heirship declarations and administrations.  I also handle probate litigation and have been involved in multiple will contests.

I also have extensive experience in family law matters.  I have assisted clients in custody cases and divorce cases.  I also assist in name changes and adoptions.

Using the skills and experience since I started, I am able to assist in all types of matters of litigation.

Divorce attorney
Mr. Reiner represented me in a very messy and traumatic divorce. He gave me sound legal advice and realistic expectations regarding divorce and family law in Texas. I highly recommend him as an attorney. If I ever need any other legal representation, I will retain Scott again.

Scott Reiner is a five star attorney
I highly recommend Scott Reiner for your legal needs. Mr. Reiner was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, efficient, and affordable. He was able to come into a difficult existing situation and do an excellent job of resolving it for me. I was very pleased with his help with a guardianship and will certainly rely on his legal services again in the future.

Brilliant Win!
Absolute amazing legal counsel! My case was a civil case concerning my ex wife and the custody of my child. After being served I retained Scott and we put together a legal defense strategy. Scott was able to defend me brilliantly and not only did he get the case thrown out, we was able to secure a $5000 legal fee judgement that my ex had to pay. Scott is young but sharp as a tack. Give him a shot!

Probate Case work
After my wife passed away, I realized a few additional items of her estate needed to be finalized that required I probate her estate. After contacting a few lawyers in the Houston area, I found Mr. Reiner's attitude and eagerness to help to be the deciding factors in hiring him to help me through the probate process. Scott was fully up to speed on everything involved in the process and lead me through each step needed, making it as easy as possible for me. We were able to handle much of the process digitally, which was a great boon to my busy work schedule, and he was very flexible in setting up the needed court dates. He completed all filings perfectly and in a timely manner, saving me from any return actions. I highly recommend Mr. Reiner for anyone needing to go through the probate process!

My first lawyer
Mr Reiner helped me with an Emergency Intervention Application for Access to Personal Property after my sister passed away. He also got me an Affidavit of Heirship so I could settle her affairs and remove items from her apartment. This was all accomplished much sooner than I expected. He returned all my calls and replied to my emails very quickly. If I ever need a lawyer again he is the one I will call.

Wonderful
Throughout the entire process he looked put for what was best for me and was made it an overall a smooth process. Couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and will definitely be using him again if the need arises. Works with you every step of the way and makes sure that you are taken care of.

Excellent Family Attorney
Scott did a great job with my case. He was very attentive and informed. Had great advice even when I was doubtful. He knew his way around the court room and he was always just a phone call away and very reassuring when I had any questions. He has such a calm personality that helps you ease right through the process. I can't express how thankful my children and I are that this is all behind us thanks to the help of Scott.

Scott is the best!
I have never had an attorney who cared for me as a client as much as Scott did. I know he had other clients as well but he still managed to constantly update me. He was extremely courteous and professional with me and was able to win me more than we hoped for or expected. He also always seemed happy to answer any questions I had about the process moving forward or where we stood in the case. If you want a dedicated, hard-working and caring attorney that is going to fight for you, hands down go with Mr. Reiner.

DONT HIRE
He was the worst!!!! I hired him for my criminal case dragged it on for a year he had all the tools to get it dismissed and still put in zero effort he lied about the work he was doing he never spoke to the D.A and still expected more money for trail. I fired him hired another lawyer my case was dismissed 2nd time at court
Response from Scott Reiner May 15, 2018
Nothing is more sacred than liberty. Since a trial is the final destination of determining whether someone’s liberty will be taken from them, it is essential to have all pieces in place to maximize the chances of securing one’s freedom. Every case is different, and some require more resources than others. The pieces, how many, and their magnitude dictate the amount of resources necessary, and it is all too often limited. This limitation was felt during my representation, but I am certainly glad to hear that the pieces ultimately aligned and that the system worked
