Convinced Insurance Carrier to Pay Claim

Our experience with MPBA has been exceptional. In addition to their high level of competency, the attorneys were very obviously invested in the effort that was necessary to achieve the desired outcome. They worked with us as our partners. Scott Easter at MPBA succeeded in securing insurance cover...age and a defense funded by our insurance company under circumstances where that result was unlikely, at best. His expertise in the insurance coverage area and diligence in pursuing our interests was remarkable.

"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.
