Excellent Lawyer, Highly Recommended

Mr. Scully was a consummate professional throughout our engagement, and successfully obtained an expungement of my DUI conviction despite numerous legal hurtles. He was responsive and diligent in his communications with me, and available anytime I had questions. I would highly recommend his service...s.

Be VERY careful with this guy...avoid him :0\

This guy is impossible to work with. Pains me to say it, because he seems nice on the phone...but he's accomplished nothing in the 1.5 years since I paid him in full. My wife has an old arrest record we needed help with, and I met Steve over the phone to discuss the situation. Wasn't a huge deal, but... we needed help making it go away. After dropping $1,000 on his payment, he's pretty much disappeared. I hear from him only if I go CHASE HIM DOWN,.....no updates, no communication, nothing. I know our case is small...but is it that hard just to throw an update over the fence every now and then? It's been since November since I heard from him last ...and today is Feb 3. Avoid him, I'm 90% convinced he took our money with no intention of actually helping our cause. Reporting him to the California Bar tomorrow, no other choice. I would have preferred to have written a great review about how he helped my family. Find someone else who can do the job, and respect you as a paying client

Compassionate and Sincere Attorney

Prior to contacting Attorney Scully, I talked to many attorneys all over California regarding sealing and destroying an arrest record, which will have detrimental effects on my career and future. Many stated that it is difficult to prove factual innocence and were not confident in taking the case. Th...e few who accepted the case required ridiculous fees. Mr. Scully, on the other hand, is straight-forward and helpful in addressing my concerns, but I what I would like to emphasize is his sincerity in providing excellent service to clients. When I initially contacted him, he took time to review my court documents. I did not feel pressured or rushed the way I felt when I contacted other lawyers. Mr. Scully listened to my story and gave me advice on what to do. He is also very knowledgeable in finding factual innocence and sealing records which are often blurred and misunderstood in Court. Lastly, his service fee is very reasonable and affordable in comparison to other firms. He has a 100% money back gaurantee policy for certain cases. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome. It is without hesitation that I highly recommend Attorney Scully to anyone who needs assistance with record clearance.

Great Experience!

Before hiring Mr. Scully, I've had talked to many other attorneys about my case and most of them either recommended that the case doesn't have any chance or their fees where unreasonably high. Steven was very helpful throughout the process and very responsive as well. All of our conversations through... e-mails or phone calls, were very informative. He always patiently made sure that I understand the process, if not, he would completely explained it to me. I had worked with other attorneys before and I always do lots of research by myself to help with the case, too, but my experience of working with Steven was stellar. Thank you Steven, with your help, now, I can proudly keep my head up and be noticed with what great achievments I'm having at the present moment other than being tagged as a criminal which had happened in the past.
