One of the best attorneys in the area

Mr. Scholar is an excellent and one of the most knowledgeable attorneys in the area. He is honest and straight forward; and will give you an accurate assessment of your legal options, unlike other attorneys who will promise you unreal outcomes just to get you to retain them. He is a former prosecut...or who knows the system and how to get results. So if you are looking for an attorney who is professional and can get good results he is the best in this area. When you are looking for an attorney, you should go with the guy who can get you the best results. When you have legal issues, you want the best lawyer who can get the best results and that is really all that matters. When I hire professionals I don't get caught up in the little things, but I do want a professional who does the job the best. Mr. Scholar is professional, knowledgeable the best and gets good results! I am a former client, got good results and now refer him to all friends and family looking for a good lawyer. If I ever needed any legal representation in the future I would call Mr. Scholar because I know he will get me good results.

Calvin H. Scholar - New Rochelle, NY

Mr. Scholar did not return my phone calls; on top of his representation fee he charged $1500 for a copy of my file, which he never said would be an additional fee. Argumentative with me, did not visit me while I was incarcerated, did not show up in court (his excuse was he has a lot of cases and he ...forgot) did not communicate with my family the times he would be in court, they spent the entire morning waiting for him and he showed up after lunch. There is so much more I can say – but I will end with STAY AWAY from Mr. Scholar.
