Phenomenal
Without a doubt, Mr. Messersmith is the best lawyer I've ever met. He was highly knowledgeable, honest and kept me informed the entire time. He provided excellent counseling and assistance from the beginning to the expungement. I highly recommend him.

Excellent
Scott kept in touch with me at least once a week. If I emailed him with a question, he would respond within 5-10 hours, either with the answer or to let me know he was looking into it. He was always professional. He was an excellent attorney!!

An Exceptional Lawyer!
Mr. David helped tremendously with a collection process involving an evasive defendant. During the process he was always optimistic, responsive, prompt to provide updates on the case, and best of all he was very considerate and kind. I would say he is a lawyer that handles his client’s case delicate...
