Scott Karnitz

Basic attorney, to answer questions you can go to Scott. If you’re looking for someone to fight hard for you I would recommend looking else where. I was referred to him by modest means and was told I wouldn’t be charged more then 60$ a hour but was charged 100$ a hour when his regular rate is only $5...0 more. When I came to Scott I came with concerns about custody he told me for the time being i should try to modify our current plan. I had him on my case for around 6 months. Scott really didn’t do anything for me except answer some questions and communicate with opposing parties attorney. When it was 2 weeks before our hearing he told me he was ready to fight. Scott told me we would file to see another judge if they were considerate of everything. Just days before our hearing he said he wasn’t sure if I should go through with trying to modify and there was a big chance I wouldn’t get what I was asking for. At trial the judge asked if he had even listened to our entire transcript of previous hearings and he said NO. In the months he had to prepare and fight he didn’t even sit down and listen to the transcript to fully understand everything that had previously happen in my case! I did not get what I was asking for and Scott did not fight hard or bring up in substantial things that had happen in my case since the previous hearing. I was upset and expressed that and expressed what I believed he should have brought up. Scott told me the things I referred to were only going to matter in a custody change but all along Scott told me I didn’t have anything for a custody change. i spent 1700 to have him communicate with another attorney and file for a hearing. I could have gotten advice and saved my money and filed what he did if I knew he wasn’t going to go hard against opposing party or even listen to our transcript to understand our case. Ontop of everything I never met Scott In person or even over video. The first time I saw him was at court and he did not even know who I was , I had to introduce myself. He has no office to meet at and many times his children were in the background of the phone calls i had with him. Overall not happy with my outcome of my case and all my wasted time and money.
