Failed

"Eighty percent of SUCCESS is showing up." Mr. Scully arrived at meetings late, arrived at court late, does not respond to my emails or text messages, does not answer his phone, does not keep his words, does not send information as promised, and he did not appear at court for my last hearing. ...I have hired a new attorney for my case because Mr. Scully dropped the ball on my case. I learned from the Court & Judge that Mr. Scully has been MIA from other cases as well. (My new attorney and the entire law-firm is responsive, prompt, helpful, resourceful, and first in line at Court hearing.) Hire Mr. Scully if want an invisible attorney. He will certainly help you to FAIL.

Amazing Lawyer!!!! Highly recommended

I got lucky. Steven Scully is an amazing lawyer, and I am truly blessed to have reached out to him. He was always very communicative, transparent, and punctual. I was facing at least 9 months in jail for my 3rd DUI, and Mr. Scully negoitiated with the DA for ZERO jail time, 4 days work-release and re...gular fees and fines. He was non-judgemental, and worked toward the best long-term solution for me and my family. As the sole provider for my family, jailtime would have been absolutely detrimental for my wife and children. He saw through to the real issue, and knew that I was better out of jail than in, and that, if I received help with my issue, I would be able to contribute very well to society. I am very grateful for all of his hard work and would highly reccomend him to any and everybody who wants representation who truly looks out for their best interest. Thank you again Mr. Scully.

A harrowing experience

I did the mistake of hiring this lawyer by reading the goods reviews on this site and I had one of the most harrowing experience ever. Before hiring him, he was very prompt and quick to follow up via email, phone or text. However since I hired him, he doesn't respond to my emails, calls or texts. Aft...er not receiving a temporary license from DMV for 3 weeks after my arrest I started making queries about the issue to Steven to see what was up. After mailing and calling him several times he responded it is usual for DMV to take long time. I finally decided to call up DMV and find out myself and was told that they never received a request for hearing from my lawyer which was supposed to be received within 10 days of arrest. Since he messed up my case and seeing his unresponsive behavior I decided to fire him. He said I'll receive my refund of the cheque I paid him within 2-3 days. This was 3 weeks ago and I still hadn't heard from him despite my repeated queries to him. After spending no time on my case and having messed up my DMV hearing, he isn't willing to refund my hard earned money which he doesn't deserve. Just goes on to show his integrity and honesty. Absolutely untrustworthy. Save yourself more hassles and avoid him at all costs. You hire a lawyer to save time and hassle. Hiring him will only ensure more waste of time and more hassles.

A great lawyer who is patient, responsive and very efficient

Steve helped me obtain an expungement on a misdemeanor I had on my record. He calmly and patiently explained the required steps, fixed the court date as soon as possible and moved very quickly and efficiently to complete the expungement process in a month. Steve makes the whole process very smooth an...d efficient and is a complete professional during his dealings with his clients. I highly recommend his services as a lawyer for expungement and other needs.

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.
