Trusted advisor

Atty. Foster represented my Brother and I during the sale of our business in 2010. Ours was a family business with us being the third generation owners. Though we were very familiar with our business, we weren't at all familiar with the M&A side of things. We engaged Scott from the outset and he h...elped with all aspects of the transaction including complex negotiations that helped us maximize the transaction value at closing. Scott is both a successful Attorney and has become a good friend. I would highly recommend engaging his services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
