Thank You Scott!

Scott represented our Homeowner's Association as we were dealing with a defective construction issue. He met with our Board of Directors and explained in detail what scenarios could occur and what options we had since this was a complex case. He was up front and honest. Scott was very knowledgeable... and approachable. He and his firm did an excellent job representing us and it was a pleasure working with him. Thank you Scott and Associates!

Contract/Negligence Lawsuit

As a Board member for our community, I worked with Scott to resolve a contract/negligence lawsuit. I came to the Board after Scott had been retained to represent our community, but the opportunities I had to meet with Scott, get questions answered, and receive input on future direction, helped me to... make informed decisions. Scott always provided thoughtful insights on what would work best for our community, recognizing that ultimately the decisions rested with us, the Board. I, for one, appreciate all that he did to bring this suit to resolution.

Great Firm - Great Results

Scott met with our Homeowner Association’s Board of Directors and took the time to walk us through the various options that we had with a construction defect situation. He was clear on what options we had and costs we would incur during the process. He under promised and over delivered. The Associ...ates in his firm were knowledgeable and were able to skirt through the various technical issues in the case. His firm delivered what we considered was a fair settlement for our situation. Job well done! Board President

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.
