He did his job well and collected the fee allotted. He knew how to negotiate the system professionally and I have no complaints. The whole ordeal was not pleasant, but dealing with the government rarely is.

Review

Scott Daniels is a great choice for a trustworthy, intelligent lawyer to work on behalf of you. He is readily available for any concerns or questions that may arise whether through email or phone and makes everything simple and transparent. With using Scott Daniels as my lawyer I felt confident to kn...ow I was in the right hands and would always be correctly guided. Through his knowledge and determination he was able to succeed in my case. Thanks to him I won Social Security Disability, when others feared this would be impossible.

Scott Daniels: An attorney like no other.

Scott Is an excellant attorney. He's been so helpful from the start and has kept me informed about any particulars concerning my case. The outcome was very favorable and I'm very pleased with the hard work he had delivered. I waited a long time for a result and Scott delivered.

great lawyer for helping with applying and obtaining disability

I emailed Scott on a weekend and he emailed me right back and told me to call him on Monday. I called and he was extremely helpful, even though he realized I would not be able to use his services because I was moving to NC in a couple of weeks. He explained all about the process of applying for di...sability and even told me to call if I have any more questions. He said he was more than willing to recommend another lawyer in NC. He gave me great suggestions and steps of what to do.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Scott has worked for me for over three years. I could not ask for a better employee and lawyer. He is tenacious, thorough and really gets the job done. But more importantly, Scott has a way of communicating with our clients that is impressive and refreshing. I cannot tell you the number of 'job well done' and 'thank you's' that get sent to the office after Scott has handled a case. He is knowledgeable, compassionate and a darn good lawyer. I don' this just because he works for me, I say this because I would hire him to help me!"
