Posted by Rachelle | August 9, 2024 | Consulted Attorney

I highly recommend hiring Scott as your attorney!

I was seeking medical practice however, this is not a case that they handle. Cynthia and Scott promptly reached out to me and pointed me in the right direction of a different attorney that handles medical malpractice. I was not expecting that level of service, especially since my case has no value to... their firm. They also showed concern and empathy towards my hardship. I am extremely grateful for their help and kindheartedness especially at a time when it was most needed. Thank you for your exceptional customer service Scott and Cynthia!

Scott Sumner: Excellent Lawyer, Excellent Person

Not only is Scott an excellent lawyer, he is also a caring one; sympathetic and empathetic toward our circumstance. He is highly intelligent and very well spoken; always careful to explain things thoroughly without belittling. His knowledge of his field of expertise is second to none, and he seems to... be up to date and on the forefront of new legislation. We absolutely recommend Scott's services to anyone requiring them.

Thank You Scott

Scott represented me through a very difficult time, two broken knees after being hit by a car while I was riding my bicycle. Scott is a professional that is ethical and knowledgeable, it was my great fortune that he was there to be my voice when I needed one most. I have recommended him to other peop...le over the years, including my mother, and they have all been very satisfied as well. I have known Scott for 15 years now and he has a solid character that has been built by his diligent effort to be a better person and professional which has been remarkably consistent. Thanks Scott
