Excellent Work

Margaret was an excellent attorney who helped and advised me in a very difficult situation. I was going through a rough divorce and child custody case. She answered every phone call I made even during her time off and if she didnt answer she was always quick to call back. She also kept me calm and al...ways reassured me when I was worried. She was able to win my case and I now have custody of my children thanks to her. Highly recommend this attorney. She is well worth it.

Do NOT recommend

Mrs. Scott was hired to represent my husband & I in our divorce proceedings. Even though we had agreed that she would be working for both of us, as my husband and I wanted to go forward with an amicable divorce and had agreed on everything prior to hiring Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Scott gave my husband ill ad...vice that had negative consequences and made things more complicated for my husband and I. These negative experiences could have been avoided had Mrs. Scott had not given my husband damaging advice aimed to be hurtful towards me. For example, a particular residence was awarded to me including keys, escrow funds, etc. For example, Mrs. Scott advised my husband not to surrender the escrow funds to me even after the judge signed the order. She is not trust-worthy, never returns phone calls, and makes promises she doesn't have any intention in honoring. Don't waste your money with her.

My Divorce Lawyer

This lawyer stole my money and did marginal work on my behalf. She quit on me (withdrew herself as my lawyer) after she took my money then sent me a bill for another $2K. I filed a complaint with the State Bar of Texas and she never tried to collect on the bogus bill she sent me. She was just tryi...ng to justify the theft of my money to herself. The most worthless lawyer I have ever come across.

annullment

margaret scott, handled an annullment and she will be highly recommended by me. margaret, is truly a very good lawyer, and was absolutely marvelous in handling my my case. She is also very reasonable and I would really recommend her to anyone. I have used two other lawyers in the past, and they wer...en't as good as margaret, or as kind and understanding and honest about what she says and will do for you. The negative review is to be ignored it is not true, margaret, is truly a great lawyer.

The Right Lawyer

Ms Margaret Scott helped me tremendously with a legal situation I found myself in. With her reputation among many well known attorneys, and a friend's advice, I called on her for assistance! She immediately saw me, listened to me, and guided me with her support, and "up front" explanation of my choic...es. She is known for her lack of intimidation from other attorneys, as she "knows the law"! She was very reasonable in her fees and I would use her again anytime! I am so glad I called, as she made my life better, and now, I know who I can trust. Some people are envious of her great reputation, or angry at themselves for not complying with her advice. She is honest, reliable, friendly and of high moral character.She is also bilingual. I would recommend her to my family, close friends, or anyone that needs a winning attorney. Thank God for this compassionate person, that understands your fearful feelings and helps ease your way through. Bless Ms Scott.
