Posted by Connor | April 05, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Workers Compensation

Thanks Scott!

I hired Scott to help me out with my worker's compensation case. He was extremely professional, kind, and understanding. He made me feel like a part of his family and I felt as if I was a top priority at all times. He gave me the lowest estimate from any lawyer in the Seneca area, and he won my case.... I would recommend Scott 10 times out of 10.

Posted by anonymous | January 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Bad experience, did not help my case, slow work

Hired Toussaint for a divorce. He set up for terrible visitation with my kids. When I needed to speak with him, I had to schedule a 10 minute phone conference a month in advance. His legal assistants made errors on numerous occasions and I paid more hours to correct mistakes. His accounting staff... made several mistakes over billing me. I would not recommend Toussaint under any circumstances.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of knowing K. Scott Toussaint both professionally and personally for numerous years. He is a tremendous asset to his profession, his community, and his country. I have been in court with Scott as opposing counsel and as counsel for our respective clients with common causes. His preparedness for court and knowledge of the law make him a superior advocate for his clients. Scott’s desire to provide his clients the best possible representation is also characteristic of his entire office staff. Even though Scott’s commitment to his clients is tireless and never ending, he dedicates time to various community causes and also serves as a Judge Advocate General in the South Carolina Army National Guard. Last but not least, Scott is committed to his family as loving husband, father, son, and brother. Scott’s sincerity and dedication make him one of the shining stars in his profession, community, country, and family."

"Scott is a smart, experienced attorney. Importantly, he won't keep you in the dark using legal jargon. He'll let you know the way to maximize your chances in your case but he'll also tell you when your case has problems. Check out his videos on the website. I think you'll find Scott and his team very approachable."

  • 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.
