Linda L. Sadler

After an extensive search for an attorney with Insurance litigation, I found Rachel Scott. Rachel was extremely proactive, kept me informed and responded to my many concerns. The result of this expierence and dedication is that my benefits were reinstated. Although, this was certainly not her bigge...st case, she treated it as such. I highly recommend this lawyer. Sincerely, Linda Sadler

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.
