About
So many attorneys have what I consider to be a poor "bedside manner". Why is it so difficult for so many attorneys to treat their clients like family? For me, there is no higher honer than to be told by a client that they trust me enough to let me handle some of the most difficult and frightening issues they may face. That bond with my clients is incredibly important to me, and too rare to find these days with other attorneys. I was born and raised in Bakersfield, CA. After receiving my Bachelors Degree from CSU Bakersfield, I attended law school at Pepperdine University School of LawAfter working at at Kern County Public Defender’s office for a year, I went into private practice, where I felt I could do the most good.I was also a Judge Pro Tem for the Kern County Superior Court.While I'm well-versed in many areas of the law, such as Criminal Defense, Social Security/Disability, Personal Injury and Business Litigation, I've focused on Bankruptcy and Family Law (Divorce Mediation, specifically) as the primary ways to help people who need it the most.I have personally filed thousands of cases, and can’t go anywhere without saying “Hi” to existing and former clients.I'm married, have four great kids, a Pug named “Co-Pilot”, and am an instrument-rated private pilot.I look forward to providing you with the personalized service you deserve.

Reviews
I had a "general" client who needed to explore the sophisticated world of bankruptcy law. Scott gave us a next-day appointment. The office was immaculate; the staff was cordial; Scott himself was a consummate professional. We took a "cheat sheet" of debts/assets with us to speed the process. Scott explored my client's circumstances and gave her an extremely valuable explanation of the somewhat uncommon features of her case and the specific rules which impacted her desire for a "Fresh Start" Chapter 7 Petition. I, personally, learned about protocols which I needed to know for my general practice. In the future, I will consult with Scott for any client who needs to explore the potentially baffling world of Chapt. 7.
I am so glad, that after looking, and looking online for a lawyer, that I found Scott Bell. My husband and I are very satisfied with how he has handled our account. We were nervous when we walked in, and of course, stressed about this situation that we have never encountered. Mr. Bell very quickly made us feel comfortable. He is very kind, and has a good sense of humor. He explained everything to us very thoroughly, and if we had questions, or did not understand something, he explained it again. He worked on our case very quickly. If anyone asks me for a bankruptcy lawyer they can trust, I will definitely refer them to Scott Bell.
Getting a bunch of threatening phone calls was stressful. Scott Bell made filing bankruptcy super easy. I felt better right away. You should call their office-the payments are reasonable and they know what they're doing!
I found Scott Bell to be an excellent attorney. He was very helpful in any questions I had. He responded quickly in contacting me . I would highly recomment Scott Bell.
As soon as we met, Scott made us comfortable with our decision to file for BK. He helped us through the entire process and made it as simple and clear as we needed. Scott is professional and knowledgeable. We went through the BK with no surprises and can now start putting our financial lives back together. On the few occasions that we had questions, he responded immediately with the answers! Thank you Scott for helping us get back on our feet! We highly recommend the Law Office of Scott Bell. My wife and I are two VERY happy clients!

Scott Bell's office helped me file my Bankruptcy a few months ago. I loved how friendly the staff was. The office is not your typical stuffy attorney's office. Jennifer Winslow was the attorney for my Bankruptcy and was always available to answer my questions. Since this was my first experience I was very nervous but they really put me at ease and from the point on I knew that I was in good hands.
