Not trustworthy. All he cares is money.

I would not recommend Scott Easter as a lawyer to anybody. The guy talks to you on the phone for 2 minutes and he will charge for 30 minutes. When I looked at the bill he sent, everything was doubled, tripled. If he sends you two sentence email, he charges an hour for that. He is extremely money orie...nted, that is all his focus is. Stay away from him.

It is hard to comment on this review since it is anonymous. Probably I requested a retainer from a new client before providing advice-if that is the case, and the remaining comments are inferences made be him/her, and comment reflects why I use a retainer as a screening device. Certainly I do not bill for any time not in fact spent.

"Scott is great with really complicated insurance coverage issues. His depth of knowledge combined with experience make him a fantastic advocate in a coverage dispute."

Litigation lawyer | Apr 24

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I just finished up a case against Scott. He is an able attorney who expertly represented his client, but did so with impeccable professionalism. His approach to the case facilitated an efficient result for his client that may not have been possible had he adopted a professionally hostile approach - the kind that needlessly drives up attorney fees without moving the ball forward for the client. I hold him in high esteem, and while I enjoyed him as an adversary, hope that his future litigation is against parties other than my clients."

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.
