Thoughtful and practical counsel.

I am the Trustee of my deceased mother's estate and in the process of selling my mother's house. I have known Scott socially for some time but have not interacted with him for a number of years. I ran into him at the post office a few months back and was given his business card. This week I needed ...some legal advice right away and decided to call Scott to see if he could help me. I called Scott for a telephone consultation regarding dual agency and disclosure with respect to the sale of my mother's property. He told me right away that he doesn't specialize in real estate law but asked what my particular concerns were regarding the subject. After providing some detail on our listing agreement and outlining questions that had been raised by my sister, Scott indicated that he could do some research on the specific topics if I desired, but he could share some general legal views right away on what I had presented to him thus far. It turned out that as we discussed the issues (which were largely concerns of my sister), Scott's observations regarding the general legal meaning of certain terms and conditions and his perspective on the actions and timing of the real estate agent, were right in line with what I felt was the situation but was unable to articulate in as meaningful a way as Scott did. Having attempted to sell real estate for about a year, more than two decades ago, I came away from our conversation with the confidence that Scott's perspective had given me all the information I needed without further investigation. The half hour or so consultation with Scott was without charge but I will not hesitate to use his services in the future.
