A lawyer's lawyer!

Scott is truly a lawyer's lawyer. I have had the pleasure of watching him work with clients I have referred to him with disability insurance claims and obtain results that were truly impressive. He also handled a malpractice claim referral and secured a great settlement. Scott has great demeanor, is... extremely smart, and is always the consummate professional.

Great Attorney!

We recently worked with Scott and have nothing but wonderful things to say about him. He was knowledgeable, professional, honest, prompt in his responses, and acted with a lot of integrity. He listened extremely well and understood us as a business. If you are looking for someone who is not only s...mart in their area of law, but also pays attention to detail and follows up, we would highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
