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.

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 $5...000 legal fee judgement that my ex had to pay. Scott is young but sharp as a tack. Give him a shot!

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 dism...issed 2nd time at court

Replied last 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

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.

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 thr...ough 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.

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.
