This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Scott provided beyond excellent and valuable legal services!

2 years ago I was hit by a car while on my bike. I'm an international student and had no idea what to do or how I was going to deal with all the medical insurance claims. I hired Scott and he was spectacular to work with. He went out of his way to reduce medical bills for me and explained in detail w...hat each bill meant and what I should do. The advice he provided was spot on and as the driver was responsible, he helped me settle with the driver's insurance company. After getting a concussion from the accident and then being bombarded with letters and calls from the driver's insurance company, I doubt I would have had the same outcome without Scott's support and knowledge. I felt so taken care of at the firm, and Scott really took his time to sit down with me and work through the things I didn't understand, no detail was too small. I highly, highly recommend Scott's services.

Responsive and sincere

Scott was honest about the expectations for our case, and was willing to take it even though many other lawyers had given me an attitude and told me our case was too small to bother with. My partner and I are both professionals and work hard for what we do have. I was put off by many of the other la...wyers who wanted to charge an arm and a leg and insult me at the same time. Scott was down to earth, friendly and yet still professional. He checked in with us often, clarifying our wishes and represented us well. Just having him represent us made the other party back down and we are hoping they stay down, but if for whatever reason we have to go to court I will want Scott representing us again.

I highly recommend Mr. Scott Nathan.

I recently hired Mr. Nathan to defend my business in a legal matter involving a financial dispute with an independent contractor. He was able to keep us out of court and got our business a settlement that far exceeded our expectations.

Great Experience

Scott is friendly, great to work with, extremely responsive, listens, works hards and ultimately helped me avoid the worst case scenarios. I am someone who does a ton of research before selecting anybody that I will do business with. I interviewed Scott along with three other lawyers (after callin...g about 15). I was deliberately vague with everyone I met with to see how they would troubleshoot my issues. Scott never oversold, gave me suggestions but at the end of the day I felt like he was most concerned about my personal well being. He took at sizeable six-figure debt I was looking at because of a business I was involved with and brought the amount down significantly, working hard for me for over three months. I wish Scott's specialty was everything. If he felt comfortable with it, I would hire him for just about any legal matter or issue I encounter. I highly recommend him for your debt settlement issues and I almost never write reviews.

Lawsuit representation

Scott helped me through dealing with a lawsuit filed against my company. His quick understanding of the facts of the case and knowledge in preparing proper responses in the case resulted in the case being dismissed. Through the process, Scott was always accessible, timely with all follow up and had ...a sense of humor to help reduce the stress that comes with litigation.

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.
