Scott, Most Excellent Attorney

My first and only visit with Scott in his office along with his associate Chris, took the burden off of my shoulders as I was pro se initially. He gave me confidence and help along the way. In a very short time, he had the case against me dismissed. The petitioner's attorney was so convinced by Scott... that his case was without merit. Therefore, the petitioner's attorney sent a motion to dismiss with prejudice, which means, that the petitioner cannot come back against me with the same issue. Scott always and quickly responded to questions that I had via email or the phone. He was so helpful and when I needed to pursue what I wanted to do, he counseled us correctly and I was so at ease and at peace with his counsel. We have nothing but good things to say about him including Christ and Becky.

Outstanding Attorney

I wish I could fully convey my thoughts about Scott. Scott took on my case midway through the process when my previous attorney quit my divorce. I found myself in a really bad spot having to find a new attorney that was willing to go to trial with a judge that was not in my favor, and against my ex’s... attorney who was free. Scott had good graces knowing that I came from an attorney that honestly loathed him, and he took up my banner in the middle of his heavy case load. I cannot tell you how indebted to him and his team for making the impossible possible. By the time my trial came my case had been completely revamped. His partner Mckail worked diligently on my exhibits for my case and spent the time to really prepare all my witnesses before trial. We walked in to court with a better case than I had in the last year, and Scott’s acumen in the trial was shrewd and well informed. His arguments consistently met with the approval of the judge, and he deftly handled my ex’s attorney when they tried to sneak in testimony that was underhanded. In the end I got what I fought for two years for, my kids and the equal right to be involved in their lives. My children and I are the direct benefactors of Scott’s skills and help. I absolutely give my recommendation to Scott as an attorney worth working with.

Excellent Attorney

Scott helped me out at the hardest time of my life. He went above and beyond and I felt confident and at ease the entire time. Charges were honest and reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone!

The best there is!

Scott Weight is a phenomenal attorney at Esplin & Weight! I first came to him years ago for a divorce. Every experience I've had with him has always been a positive one. He's very knowledgeable and very professional. He's always taken the time to meet with me, listen to the details of my case and has... offered helpful instructions to help me navigate through it all. I will definitely think of him first any time I may need counsel and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a great attorney!

Top Notch!

I met Scott Weight when a friend had criminal and family legal issues. I found him highly professional, dedicated, and knowledgeable. So, when my son needed help with divorce and criminal charges we hired Scott and experienced the same quality treatment my friend had received. Because my son was also... a disabled veteran Scott brought in another member of his firm, Laura Cabanilla with military experience which showed wisdom and humility on Scotts part. Laura was every bit as high caliber as Scott.
