Outstanding experience with Scott

Going through a divorce is an emotionally taxing experience, but having Scott as our mediator made all the difference. From the very beginning, he exhibited a high level of professionalism, fairness, and empathy. He took the time to truly understand our unique situation and needs, ensuring that both ...parties felt heard and respected throughout the entire process. His ability to maintain a calm and composed atmosphere helped to alleviate much of the stress and tension we were feeling. Scott's guidance and expertise were invaluable in reaching a fair and amicable agreement. He navigated the complexities of our case with skill and provided us with the support we needed to move forward. I am incredibly grateful for his dedication and kindness during this difficult time, and would highly recommend Scott to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled divorce mediator.

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.
