Scott is my attorney representing me in a law suit against a life insurance company.

I have been extremely happy with Scott as my attorney. I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for legal assistance. Scott has always kept me informed on the status of my case and has always responded quickly to any questions or concerns that I have had. Scott is not only knowledgeable and ...trustworthy but also very caring and compasionate.

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.
