Posted by Joe | July 15, 2015 | Wrongful Termination

A Positive Outcome

From the moment we first stepped into the court room, and the continual battle for 3.5 years over our "Wrongful Termination" from an MLM company, Scott, made us feel secure and confident each step of the way. Every move the defendant would make to try and take Scott of his game, he would come back w...ith a counter attack that would leave the defendants speechless. We were in court 4 times, and each of the 4 we won unanimously, and at the end of the day, we were awarded one of the largest settlements of it's kind. Scott and his team were always extremely attentive to our needs and we always felt comforted even during the most stressful times. This was a very taxing time for me and my family, and without Scott and his expertise in the field of MLM, there is no way would could have had the positive results we received. My wife and I our so thankful for all he did for us. Blessings Joe and Patrice

Positive Reviews Are Mostly All Fake - Wellman has a Horrible Reputation which is well earned

I hired Scott to help with launching a mlm business. This was a mistake as he just used an outside service and added his fees after supplying boilerplate everything. He did not want to refund the heavy retainer, which he - surprise, surprise - exhausted. He did become concerned about negative revi...ews online. So, here you go pal. Seems like he is tired of practicing law, but has nothing else that he can do to pay for the condo and the new wife. Dont be next on his list of easy money...

Client

Scott Wellman and his firm were straight with my case from our initial consultation. Scott was low on promise and high on performance. The police had violated my civil rights and thinking that there was virtually no chance of justice, Scott transformed my case into an unprecedented win for the common... tax paying citizen and restricted the government from their abuse and avoidance of the law. There is not another attorney I would trust; a man with virtue, vast knowledge, and respected by all.

Poor Communication and Heavy Billing by Associates

I hired Mr. Scott Wade Wellman for a small litigation case. The case never went to trial, and a lawsuit was never filed, but I was billed at an irrational rate by 2 inexperienced contract attorneys. I have tried to meet with Scott to discuss the bill, but he seems to be avoiding a meeting and even ...a telephone call. I would not recommend Soctt Wellman or his law firm based on this experience.

Poor Communication; High Bills; No Strategy

Scott Wellman was a horrible disappointment for our company, and we want to warn other businesses and consumers in general about Scott and how he practices law. Wellman took on several litigation and transactional matters for our small business. It is a business that had taken off, after my business ...partners and I poured most of our savings into a project we believed in. Scott Wellman failed us after putting himself in a position of trust. Wellman & Warren lawyers failed to: 1. communicate about the legal work they were performing; 2. Failed to communicate settlement offer; 3. Failed to explain their billing practices; 4. Failed to provide us with options or any type of strategy. Having Scott Wellman serve as our lawyer was the worst experience we have ever had in business. In fact, Wellman & Warren LLP almost destroyed our business and our lives. We know that the Internet is not the most reliable source of references, but we urge potential clients to think carefully and do their own due diligence before they let Scott sweet-talk them into hiring his firm. This could be a decision that you could regret for the rest of your life. Associatges that work for Scott, Bimali Walgampaya, Cathy Zotti, and Anabella Bonfa are "nice", and generally polite, but are utterly incompetent. They have no business or litigation experience, and act as glorified secretaries for Scott. I believe that they are paid accordingly. If you read this, you are trying to do some diligence on Scott Wellman, and his firm. All we can do is warn you, and share our horrible experience with a person we consider to be an unethical lawyer, and a disgraceful person - Scott W. Wellman
