i had Scott for a workmens comp case back in 1993 until it got settle in 1998.During that time my comp checks were never shut off ,my surgery were ok that day or the next day and i had 5 surgerie during that time. I would call Scott and he would always call me back that day,Scott in my opinion is the best attorney around.
Scott Ganassin represented me following an auto accident. After the accident I endured injuries and my vehicle was damaged, never being in an accident I really didn't know where to turn. I went to the hospital, my car was in need of repair and I started getting pressured by the other parties insurance company. I met with Scott and he helped my mind rest at ease, he discussed a comfortable process to ensure I was getting proper medical attention, and handled the whole process. Im very thankful Scott's attentiveness to my comfort and well being. He was successful in providing me an understanding of my rights and he recovered my losses. I highly recommend his services.
Scott represented me in my pursuit for a judgement in my workman's compensation case. From day one when I met with Scott he made me feel comfortable. He gave me his honest opinion about what he thought my potential was for a judgement in my favor. He ensured that I had all of the information I needed to make the best decision possible moving forward. Because of Scott and his staff's hard work and determination the award I received helped me and my family to live with the quality of life we have hoped for.
Scott is a wonderful person. He really took the time to talk and listen to me. His paralegals Karla and Gloria are amazing. They were always helpful and positive. Great team to have on your side.
Scott handled my work compensation settlement case. He did gain a settlement for me. I was injured at work which resulted in a surgery and physical therapy and I could not work for approximately a year. A court order (approx. a year prior to the receipt of the funds) was granted. The order stated "no funds were to be distributed outside of the court". Scott, Timothy Gatza from Ottawa and myself all recieved a copy of the order. The order was filed by my ex husband -he was attempting to obtain some of the settlement . I had been under extreme financial duress-pressure. When the court order was in effect I phoned Scott concerning a lawsuit lending ad I had seen. It advertised that funds could be obtained in advance. Scott okayed the loans and did not advise me that I was violating the order. When the settlement arrived I picked up the check. Scott's firm paid the loans. Scott retained his fees. I accepted the check-no counsel given re: the order. I emailed Mr. Gatza that they were ready to settle. Email response from Tim had no mention of the order. After a good portion of the funds were spent Mr Gatza stated in an email "make sure you pay your ex husband something" which I did. My ex husband and his attorney filed an order of contempt. I was ruled by the Judge to be found guilty of indirect civil contempt of the order. I have accepted responsibility and I do acknowledge my own guilt in the contempt. I did have a copy of the order. I forgot the order was in place- as I believe Scott and Tim did as well. I do believe though that if I had been reminded just one time closer that this would have been in the forefront of my mind. Attorneys are educated in the law and they are officers of the court- they are bound by the same court order. Under the most basic of professional standards I believe I should have been advised by my attorneys. Scott did not attend the contempt hearing. Mr. Gatza, in my opinion-as well as the opinion of others did not represent me well. This opinion is held based upon the court transcripts. The Judge found me to be in indirect civil contempt based upon what was presented. However, I feel more accurately stated would be "or the lack thereof" of all facts that could have been presented. I was given 30 days to pay $5,000. or go to jail indefinitely until the funds were paid. I and my family paid the money and I did not go to jail. I found both the representation by Scott Ganassin and Mr Tim Gatza to be lacking and of no benefit to my life within the legal system. I have gained more ground "pro se" since September than prior with attorneys. Actually I feel that I was "thrown under the bus". When I did contact Scott about this situation he has never responded to my certified letter or email dated September 2014. Most Sincerely submitted, A.G.
Scott is a very friendly and honest attorney. I would say that in my 56 years he is the only attorney that I completely trust.
