Christina Marie Scott

Very simple non-contested divorce, my ex-wife and I had everything laid out. She met with us once. Before the ink dried on my $3,500 check she had cashed it as soon as we left what she calls an office. She shares an office space with another attorney, and sometimes someone answers the phone. 99...% time you just leave a message that usually doesn't get returned. If you want to do any contact with her you have to use email. Very unprofessional to just be an email attorney. We tried to get a second meeting to make sure she had all of the wording correct as her boiler plate contradicted our portions of our decree. After the decree was finalized I contacted her and she failed to get me the documents I needed for a home loan. After a few emails, one telling her I may have to contact the bar association she sent me a scanned copy within minutes with a nasty email. Nice when you first meet but after she takes the money and runs and you are hard pressed to meet with her again. I wish I would have paid attention to the other reviews, but my son recommended her Good news is everything is done.

I didn't use a lawyer for my divorce so was a bit lost on how to select one. I contacted Ms. Scott and she was initially responsive. She was actually listed in my legal plan through work. I decided to hire her because of the flat fee and she seemed like she understood what I was up against. Once ...I hired her, she became completely unresponsive. She works alone - no paralegals and uses a Regency type receptionist who answers all sorts of other peoples calls too and can't answer anything regarding your case. You are completely reliant on waiting for Ms. Scott to get back to you. When I was getting ready to attend mediation, I had to reach out to her to ask what I needed to do to prepare. She told me that I needed to remain calm and the mediator would be writing up a recommendation to the judge based on our responses. She also told me to bring all my notes and documentation to the mediation and bring up everything. I arrived only to find out this was completely the opposite and that if I didnt feel comfortable discussing something I shouldn't bring it up. The mediator stated that the whole process was confidential and the judge would only know that we didn't reach agreement. As a lawyer Ms. Scott should have known what type of mediation I was attending and I lost faith some faith in her. I called her immediately after it was over and had to leave a voicemail. Then I tried emailing her several times over the next few weeks and left a few more messages. After almost 3 weeks I sent a nasty email telling her the lack of responsiveness was not acceptable and unprofessional. I finally got a call from her. But she was full of excuses why she hadn't contacted me. One of which was she was on vacation. Which seems to be a theme with her because I was with her from November to March and she went on 3 extended vacations. By the time that I talked to her about my mediation, I was so upset with her and felt like I was not being represented that I decided to hire another attorney. When I asked for partial money back she sent me a list of stuff she had done (which is completely exaggerated) and she claims she spent $4060 on my case. This lawyer literally filed paperwork to respond to my ex in a custody matter and answered 3 emails and then talked to me 3 weeks after my mediation. My new lawyer (who is not flat fee) has done so much for me and is in constant contact when issues come up. i know what to expect and feel like I'm paying for a service that I'm getting. She is more expensive but I'm fighting for my children and I cannot put a price tag on that.

Mrs. Scott represented me during a very tough custody battle between the mother of my child and myself. She was very upfront with me as to what I can expect and how things could play out. I saw that she was honest and she came off as very "human" which is big for me. We worked together for over a ye...ar only to land at a victorious conclusion. Mrs. Scott is a busy woman and It is important to understand that patience is best in dealing with any case. There were times when I became anxious, but there wasn't anything that couldn't be done in time. I definitely appreciate her for all of her efforts.

Bad experience for me. A simple uncontested divorce but she never kept me informed and rarely responded to my inquiries. She never discussed the process nor explained what to expect. Divorce is final now, so I guess she completed the task, but now I feel like she went out of her way to make it a more... painful experience than it was already. I would recommend you find someone else.
