Reviews
Scott is a tough litigator. He helped me out with an eviction issue and difficult tenant. He got the guy out using an efficient common sense strategy. He has also done collection work for me for a judgment. He filed citations to discover assets to banks, locked up the person's account and got them to turn over the money in the account and negotiate to avoid having their account frozen. He is smart, tough and a straight talker.
I consulted with Scott regarding a commercial dispute. He gave me insightful and helpful information. In the future, I would not hesitate to seek Scott for additional consultations.
Although Scott comes across like a bulldog, I found him to be realistic, fair, and practical. Along the way, he helped me work through my doubts when I had to make decisions by elaborating on the sides of the issue, without telling me what to do. His sense of humor made him a pleasant man to work with. I didn't give him the highest rating on keeping me informed because sometimes I had to inquire what was going on, but perhaps I had more of a need to know than some clients.
Scott has given me helpful, succinct advice on a matter of legal issues through the years. He was particular helpful setting up my LLC, with all the documents and contracts necessary for a partnership. More recently his counsel was helpful with a driving violation out of state. He is very thorough with every detail and outcome that could occur. I found his services worthwhile and would use him again.
Scott drafted an operating agreement for my small business which has served my partner and I very well over the years. He was very attentive to our needs and helped us iron out answers to scenarios and what-ifs we hadn't considered. All in all, a great experience.
Scott is a great lawyer ,I would hire him again in a heart beat to handle any litigation situation that myself or my family found ourselves in. Scott handled a property line dispute between an unruly neighbor & myself . Thanks Scott for being there !!
Scott has represented me in two different matters successfully. I am a real estate broker and a former client slandered me online. This had the potential to really hurt my business, but Scott responded quickly and took care of it. The second matter involved my wife and I personally. We had a long, complex dispute with our former neighbors involving battery and emotional distress among other things. Scott took the case and sued them when other attorneys looked the other way. He battled for us for a few years which resulted in a nice settlement in our favor without the stress of having to attend depositions. I attended most of the court hearings and could tell from day one he knew his way around the process, judges, and opposing counsel. I am forever indebted to Scott and his partner Juliet for their counsel and they are the only attorneys I would ever hire for criminal, civil or business matters. Their knowledge of law is thorough, they take and return calls, they respond quickly, and when the chips are down they are in your corner. Boyd and Kummer are rock stars!
