Execellent Lawyer

At some point, I needed to hear a second opinion about my immigration issue, and I think Scott was the best to provide that. Although I am not a client of him, I submitted a question on Avvo, and he showed great interest in replying, and following up with me in timely manner. I kept asking so many qu...estions and he did not disregard any of them, while other lawyers kept blaming me for not directing my questions to my own lawyer. He is not just knowledgeable, he is also responsive, and willing to share his experience even without being hired. if such person cares about people that much, i wonder, how much would he care about his own clients!!I I definitely recommend him, and I will be consulting him in my next immigration step. Thanks Scott!

Outstanding

Scott was recommended by a friend and during our initial consultation my wife and I felt very comfortable and thought that Scott was sincere, helpful and knowledgeable. Scott answered all of our questions and guided us through the process and was very detailed and patient. We cannot thank Scott eno...ugh for his assistance and follow through which helped us achieve our goal and helped to change our lives! His service was excellent.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
