Top tier Attorney

I will get straight to it and cut the fluff here. Scott navigated and led my contentious divorce to absolute resolve and I am eternally grateful. Scott will tell you, as he told me, there are no winners in family law. While Scott is right…I sit back here writing this review and reflecting and I can’t... help feeling victorious through the years it took to close my case out. Ill cut to the components and behaviors that Scott embodies that make him a superior attorney…a juggernaut more like it. Please note, the below are my observations of Scott during the period of ~2+ years as his client. For the reader, these are absolutely critical in selecting an attorney, or, ensuring you have the right attorney. You need an attorney that knows the law. No brainer, right? There are attorneys you ask questions to and they say they will get back to you. There are attorneys that answer on the spot with absolute precision. Without fail, Scott always had the answer and the law in his pocket. You want a responsive attorney. I never had any issues regarding timing and responses with Scott. I truly felt like I was his only client and I know that’s not fact. It didn’t matter if a court date was a day away or I had a question about something. Scott was all over it. You want a direct attorney. Someone who is not afraid to tell you what won’t work and what to expect. No sugar coating. This is how a great attorney manages their clients’ expectations through the entire process. You want an attorney that understands that his/her time is your money. Those billable hours can add up and Scott is quick to give you the sound legal advice and counsel you need in a short amount of time. Finally, you need an attorney who can own the podium. EVERY time Scott was on the podium, he spoke as if it was me talking and he spoke with no issues at all. Don’t think that every attorney can speak in front of a judge and peers and not fumble or stutter or look unprepared and sloppy in execution. Most of them do. Not once did I see Scott appear as anything other than prepared and flawless in execution. I can’t stress this enough because these are the moments that absolutely count. These are the skirmishes and battles that you want to nail. Scott took my context and was able to use it as his own and convey exactly what he needed to in the moments that count. Call the execution whatever you want…executive presence, good public speaker… this is what it is. Two words: competence and confidence. Scott exudes these things. I stand victorious today because of Scotts legal acumen, his flawless execution on and off the podium, and his ability to see around the corner. I could go into anecdotes and specifics from being served as a respondent, to ex-parte hearings, to depositions, to motions, to rulings and everything in between. Those will not convey what the end results of my case were. The end results are the facts and the facts are this: I have the child custody I wanted from the parenting plan I wrote, I have my house, and I have happiness. I would have none of these if not for Scott. If there was a subscription fee to keep Scott on retainer indefinitely, I would do it and it would be the best decision I would have ever made for myself.

Scott Marlow is your guy!

Hands down the best law firm out there! I contacted Attorney Scott Marlow last minute and he was by far, the friendliest, most helpful attorney in the area. Scott Marlow and his paralegal, Deborah Long, acted swiftly and effectively when preparing for my case. Perhaps the thing that impressed me mos...t about Scott Marlow was that nothing was "sugar coated.” When you are in financial distress it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions. He was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy, which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Scott Marlow and his paralegal Deborah Long made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. Scott Marlow and his paralegal were selected on a recommendation from a friend and was some of the "Best" advice I have ever received.

BEST CHILD CUSTODY / ADOPTION LAWYER IN WA

When this journey began, I knew I wanted the best representation possible. I did my research. I knew I wanted to be represented by someone ethical, tenacious, well-respected, and who would be a strong advocate for me! Bonus points for having good energy and a great sense of humor. It only made se...nse then that I chose to work with attorney Scott Marlowe. Fighting against a narcissist (ex) for my current husband to adopt my son was not going to be a fun or easy road, but Scott was ready to face the challenge and assured me that he would give it his all. He never gave me unrealistic expectations. I appreciated his honesty, diligence, and professionalism. He’s also super funny! It was his sense of humor that sprinkled much-appreciated ease throughout one of the most emotionally exhausting experiences of my life. It was a life-altering decision to hire Scott— one that I am and will forever be grateful for. It is because of Scott that we were able to win our trial rightfully, terminate the abandoner’s rights, and have my husband adopt my son. Scott always made us feel like we were being taken care of and heard. Any concerns we had were addressed promptly. I never felt like I was in the dark. He and Royann Mercado Perez (his wonderful Paralegal) always kept us well informed. Scott’s presence in the courtroom is one that commands respect from both opposing attorneys and commissioners alike. I was proud to stand beside him and felt confident being represented by him! Thanks to Scott, his knowledge of court processes, his knowledge of the law, and for him being an amazing human being, the deadbeat’s rights were terminated and my son is adopted by the one who has truly been the father to him that he has always deserved. Thank you, Scott, for fighting for our peace and justice.

Transparent Legal Advice!

Scott was super knowledgable and understanding of my simple but complicated divorce trial. Being very transparent of the court and my particular judge, he gave me the skills I needed in order to have an effective argument. Although the outcome wasn't what I hoped for, I felt that I was well prepared.... Thank you, Scott!!

Great divorce lawyer!

Scott and Royann (his paralegal) got me through the most difficult time in my life. They were on top of everything and I would give them my highest recommendation. They are experienced, professional, kind, caring and compassionate.
