Scott Weinbaum provided excellent legal services to our family. We needed to adopt our 20 year old granddaughter so that we could care for her. He was compassionate, spoke clearly and provided a timeline. We received the official adoption order within two months of the consultation visit. We were very impressed and pleased with Scott's professionalism and humanity.

I found Scott and everyone at his firm to be incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. Scott always took the time to answer even the smallest of questions. He also added a sense of compassion to the quality of his service, which made going through a tough process, that much easier. I would highly recommend Scott and the entire Maddox and Gerrick firm. They are truly top notch.

I had the pleasure of having Scott support me at Maddox & Gerock through not one but two custody trials. He is thorough, conscious and took the needed time to clearly explain to me the law and my options. He was a key contributor to securing my children’s best interest and custody in both trials.
