Fails to listen to clients needs
Dimitra is an aggressive lawyer, which can be a positive for some people.

Dimitra S. Scott's Lawyer Endorsements
"Dimitra is ethical, prompt, and practical. We worked on opposing sides in a difficult case and throughout she maintained a cooperative spirit of professional courtesy and respect. She is a very good lawyer and her clients are lucky to have her."
"Dimitra takes each and every case to heart. She represents her clients zealously, while at the same time looks for creative solutions to resolve a matter. She considers the "bigger picture" when evaluating a case and making recommendations to her clients. She is first class all the way."
"I endorse this lawyer. She provides good legal information and practical legal knowledge to the community. She is a credit to the profession."
"Dimitra is bright, hard-working, and ethical. I recommend Dimitra's services without hesitation."
"Working in the same firm with Dimitra for the past four years has made me realize she is a fantastic lawyer. Dimitra has a natural talent for cutting to the core of an issue and succinctly analyzing it. While she has a knack for recognizing specific and detailed issues, her strategy is always practical and in line with the client's goals and best interest. Her advice and communication are always clear and carefully thought-out. Dimitra also brings an aggressive mindset to litigation. If a client has viable avenues for success, Dimitra will thoroughly explore each of those options. In short, I cannot recommend Dimitra highly enough to an individual or entity in need of thorough and efficient legal representation."
"Dimitra is professional and hard working. She cares about her clients and puts forth every bit of energy in her cases. I trust her with my clients who have needs outside of those that I can provide."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. She is very professional and easy to work with."
