Respectful, helpful, and hardworking

Scott helped my fiancé remove his bench warrant for a very low price compared with every other attorney we found, and after 6 additional court dates he turned a 60 day work release into 500 h community service. His total prices were half of what most lawyers were quoting us at for the same outcome. H...e was always helpful with all of my questions and suggestions and was never rude or disrespectful throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend Scott as a lawyer. Thank you again Scott!

Highly Recommend

Back in 2011 I made a mistake and luckily didn't hurt anyone. Scott worked with me and helped me navigate the maze that is the justice system in San Diego. With his help I was able to put this behind me and move forward with my life. I highly recommend Scott, he has incredible communication and neve...r once left me feeling like I made a mistake going to him.

Thank you Scott!

He made it! He did help me. Not only the job he did, he has great personality and responsibility. If you have any problem, you should go to see him. He is the right Lawyer to spend money.

Thank you Scott

I called Scott regarding a potential legal issue. I had dealt with Scott 2 years earlier for another legal issue, and he remembered who I was. We texted back and forth about my issue at 10:30pm. He spent the time to help me through a tough situation, and respected the relationship that we had esta...blished in the past. He is a straight shooter who distinguished himself from the other lawyers that I dealt with by being honest about expectations, fair about pricing, and understanding, not condescending. Although we all hope it never happens, it really makes me feel good knowing that I have someone like Scott in my corner if a legal issue arises.

I feel lucky to have found Scott Pactor.

Being my first (hopefully only) brush with the law, I didn't know much about lawyers, but compared to the couple others I talked to, Scott was a breath of fresh air. I in no way felt pressured as I did with other lawyers who I felt were trying to scare me into hiring them. Scott knows his stuff, yet ...is relatable, honest and sincere. His cost is very reasonable and fair. In this instance, Yelp was as helpful with lawyers as it is with finding good restaurants.
