Child custody

If I could stand on a mountain and shout to the whole world what Attorney Scott D. Olsen did for me and my son I would. I was caught in one of the most painful, high-conflict custody battles a parent can go through. I searched tirelessly online, reading through reviews, and that’s how I found the ...Law Office of Scott D. Olsen. Little did I know I was about to meet the man who would forever change the course of our lives. Scott didn’t just take my case he carried it. He showed up with unmatched dedication, intelligence, and heart. I watched him cancel his own doctor appointments just to make sure he could be in court for me in person. He was relentless in preparation, strategic in every move, and when we went to trial he nailed it. The truth was revealed, justice was served, and my son’s future was secured. Scott gave me my voice back when I felt silenced. He stood beside me when I felt alone. He fought for my child like he was his own. What he did in that courtroom was nothing short of extraordinary. To say “thank you” will never be enough. I will pray for this man for the rest of my life. If you are looking for someone to fight for you, to stand in the gap when everything feels impossible Scott D. Olsen is the one. He is a gift to the legal profession and to every parent lucky enough to be represented by him.

Honest, Fair, Effective Attorney A+

Mr. Olsen, Helped us with a very sad situation having to get a restraining order. He was very straightforward About how to deal with the matter he was very fair about what he charged us and he got us through a very uncomfortable situation. We consulted him on another matter he took an hour of his ...time at least and unlike other attorneys who told us they should start legal proceedings he advised against it citing that It would end up costing us double if we proceeded at that time and that we should hold off for two years it was a spousal support modification issue. I cannot say enough good things about Scott Olson I’m in the process of seeking his help again and I am confident he will Come through for us!

Lost my child

Hired Scott because he gave a great first impression. It pains me to say that there was a huge problem with communication. Particularly with him not serving the other party with proper documents on time. Due to this my case took much longer, about 10 months, and I wasn't able to get the decision I wa...nted. I ended up at the same place I started without a lawyer about 10% of the time with my child.
