Scott Frederick Pomerantz

Retaining Scott F. Pomerantz to represent me was the worst decision I’ve ever made. Before retaining Pomerantz do your research! If I had researched Scott Pomerantz I would never have allowed him anywhere near my case. The more research I did, the more I discovered both in terms of his alleged outrag...eous misconduct & his lack of jury trial success. How Pomerantz even has a license to practice law is beyond me, especially after what he did to an 8-month pregnant doctor in the middle of her deposition. Before retaining him ask: “How many jury trials have you won?” & “How much money did you win? & “What’s your largest verdict?” I was shocked to learn how he had had almost no jury trials & had won such a negligible amount of money. He didn’t even carry malpractice insurance so I couldn’t even submit a claim for his alleged malpractice! I researched Pomerantz’s record as an attorney and learned Pomerantz was, in my opinion, an unsuccessful attorney where many of his cases were his own personal cases, many of which were suing his own clients and he engaged in conduct documented in court records I found morally repugnant. In LA case # SC119009 Court records include 2 Declarations, one by attorney Shauna Frasier the other by an 8-month pregnant Dr. Heather Oxford where they describe how Pomerantz started screaming profanities at Dr. Oxford in the midst of her deposition & how he grabbed the table & thrust it into Dr. Oxford’s pregnant belly! She states in her Declaration, “I could feel the force of the table press against my belly” & how “the videographer said ‘he is crazy’” & “I was very scared & stressed out…I could feel the baby acting differently due to my stress….I cannot go forward with another tense & terrifying experience such as this prior to the birth of my baby.” Fraser declared “I am very fearful & upset over what occurred” & that she “genuinely believed that Mr. Pomerantz was going to come across the table towards Dr. Oxford.” The Declarations outline their terrifying ordeal with Pomerantz. I discovered court records involving a psychiatrist, Dr. Carlotta Freeman, the 1st African American President of LA County Medical Assoc. She filed for an Order to Stop Harassment against Pomerantz, Case SS017047. She too describes a terrifying ordeal & states “I thought he was going to assault me…his rage shook me & I trembled with fear for my life. I called the LAPD.” Dr. Freeman indicates she believed Pomerantz vandalized her car. Given the Declarations of an attorney & 2 doctors it’s unfathomable how the California State Bar has failed to take action against Pomerantz. Court records show Pomerantz sued his landlord Sandy Berens over a dispute concerning his security deposit. Berens kept ~$1300 claiming Pomerantz damaged her property. Beren’s Trial Brief in case 09C01807 states she didn’t deduct the full amount of the damages “due to his intimidation.” She states she was afraid of Pomerantz & in court documents states he was “abusing his position as an officer of the court to try & extort money from his former landlord.” All of this is consistent with what I experienced with Pomerantz in my case. He was abusive & even threatened to kill me! In my opinion he ruined my case costing me a substantial sum of money. When I refused his demand for payment that I believe was totally unreasonable he sued me. He appeared in my case for three weeks then spent six years suing me over a relatively small sum of money. Apparently he didn’t have more productive things to do with his time. Pomerantz’s client Sandra Embrey sued him for fraud in Orange County case #30-2015-00791635, alleging he fraudulently induced her to sign his Fee Agreement which is what happened in my case as well! When my settlement check came from which I have yet to receive a penny Pomerantz emailed me stating he needed the funds from my check to pay his rent! Do your homework. I wish I had & avoided the nightmare of having Pomerantz as my attorney
