Great, timely support in a tricky situation

I originally wanted to meet with one of the partners, but Scott was the only one free, so I thought I would meet with him. I'm glad I did. He is very organized, precise, and helpful. He wastes no time (which is a huge plus since the bill is in 6 minute increments). I have never had to wait more than ...a few hours for a reply. I met with him on a Tuesday morning, and the following Monday my spouse was served paperwork. Once the decision to divorce is made, it is usually in everyone's best interest to execute the matter as quickly as possible and move on with your life. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone needing a family lawyer. I couldn't be happier with my choice, although the consequences were obviously not ideal. If you want someone knowledgeable, frugal with your funds, and having a great sense of urgency, then go with Scott.

Great lawyer

Scott Hahn is a good listener and a quality problem solver. He always had my best interests in mind during my divorce. I would recommend Scott Hahn to anyone needing family law assistance.

Divorce/ Child Custody Case

Scott did a great job handling my case. He was knowledgeable and listened to what I wanted and he worked hard to get what I had requested. He was efficient and communicated to me through out the entire process. I am very grateful for his services.

OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY!!

I would characterize this attorney in three words: Respectful, Ethical, Insightful. Mr. Hahn recently helped me with a property settlement case. From the outset of our interactions, I felt like he had time for me and he asked all the right questions. He was very clear in his explanations about my... rights and about what to expect from the process as my cased advanced through various stages. Specifically, he addressed my questions via email and phone almost immediately and always reported progress promptly. Not a single communication request took more than half a day, and most were returned within an hour or two. He was able to clearly define exactly what documents were going to be important at each stage (which was really nice become some of them take a while to retrieve), but what impressed me the most is that he did not impose his own views and expectations about what I should do. Instead, he made sure I was completely and accurately informed about all relevant issues and brainstormed with me about what would be best for me... and he made it clear at that point, that the decision was still mine. In short, he didn't just represent me, he educated me. I imagine for many people the worst part of being involved in a legal process like this is the waiting and not knowing. Mr. Hahn is an excellent communicator, and if the outcome is favorable or not, you will not have to wait in a state of confusion. In my case, he was able to predict (several times) what the other attorney's client's response was going to be and already had the next action prepared. I think this must be quite a talent. In short, if all attorneys were like Mr. Hahn, there would be no need for lawyer jokes.

Hands down the BEST choice in an attorney!!! He stood by his mission statement, best decision I made was hiring Scott Hahn!

In the worst time of my life, I found myself wondering into Scott's office seemingly hopeless with no idea where to turn. It was clear from the first 30 minutes of our meeting, he was without a doubt, the person I needed in my corner! Scott throughout my ENTIRE legal process gave me unwavering faith ...in himself and his staff. Their mission statement 'Clear. Committed. Confident.' is a perfect fit. The scariest battle was ahead of me and never once was I uncertain of Mr. Hahn. He explained EVERY accurate detail big and small to me and knew EXACTLY how to help me obtain my goal. I made it clear from the beginning what I wanted and what I was and was not willing to settle for....Scott got me EXACTLY what I wanted and I am so grateful for his hard work! Hands down was this the most awful process to start alone but Scott was there every step of the way and I trust him 100%!! I highly recommend Mr. Hahn and staff!
