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.

An Outstanding Attorney

Has been handling a case for me to this date every things seems to be going better then my last attorney. She has treated us fairly and has kept us informed as to what is going on with the case.

Best Attorney

Margaret helped us in an adoption of a kinship(family Member). we owe Margaret more than Money can pay. We were in a situation that was virtually impossible and Margaret made sure we had our son one month after his birth. He was in a foster home where the mom was saying he needed a feeding tube and h...e was brain damaged. None of this was true. i dont know what would have happened to our son if he was there one day longer. We had a terrible experience with cps and Margaret protected our rights all the way through it. Every time i see my baby smile i think of how much i owe her. we plan on adopting more children and plan to have Margaret Scott as our Attorney. WE recomend her especially on tough cases> unlike other attorneys Margaret always returns your phone calls.
