Mr. Hinote represented me in both a divorce/custody case and a lawsuit. He was reasonably priced, professional, responded quickly and settled both cases to my satisfaction. If ever I need representation in the future, I will return to Scott Hinote.

I hired Scott Hinote for a divorce/custody case. He was attentive to detail and genuinely cared about what happened with my custody case. He was professional and accomplished all in a timely manner. I would recommend him and I would use him again in the future if modification is ever needed.

Seriously. I hired Scott for a custody case, and now I realize why people (and other lawyers in Ozark) questioned why I went with him without even considering a sit down with them. If you hire Scott, be prepared to never hear out of him. If you do, it will only be email. He never returns phone calls and you'll only see him in person when he wants money. He never reviewed my case before we went to trial, and I wound up losing custody to a registered sex offender (mind you I have zero felonies and I'm a woman). As if that wasn't enough, he asked for $3,000 from me...never saw him again. He then tells me that I need to hire an appellant attorney. Funny how when I emailed him asking about a refund, he can't respond to that. He royally screwed me and my kids over. I have already made back the money I lost, but I will never have anything to do with him ever again. DO NOT HIRE HIM!!

I paid scott upfront $3,200 cash for a custody case of mine. He told me it could take awhile with most custody cases and to be patient and let him do his job. When he finally did send me the paperwork to sign it had the wrong kids name on it. I left several messages on his voicemail because he never answered any of my calls. I was finally able to reach him through email but by then he told me he was no longer my lawyer and my case was thrown out. Now im raising my son alone with no help from him. I've had to go through the state because after he took my money i couldn't afford to hire another lawyer and to be honest after him I'll never in my life trust another lawyer. He has now suggested that I contact another lawyer hes friends with because he no longer handles family cases... Which is odd.. Thats explains why mine never got handled. And there is no refund either because hes a lawyer and he'll just drag this out in court until im out more money. I pray that nobody ever has the same experience i had with this lawyer. I was told he was the best so I was so excited when I hired him. It was the most costly and upsetting mistake of my life. I wish I never trusted Scott Hinote with my money or my case. I paid him in full after our first visit i never did him wrong. I have no idea how this guy sleeps at night knowing hes robbed hard working single fathers just trying to finalize my custody. I'm sure their are good lawyers out there that care about their clients but this isn't one of them.

I hired Scott and paid in full only for him to take a year to get my child support raised. He figured up the amount I should be getting, then the day of court and we should go for $120 less than what I could of got just so we could, "get it all done and over with". I was not happy about this. I had other concerns that he completely ignored. He would never return my phone calls and unless I sent a bunch of emails, he wouldn't reply. My ex kept my daughter from me for 3 days and Scott wouldn't do anything about it. I do NOT recommend hiring him. He may be fairly priced but he is not a good lawyer.

We used Scott Hinote for a modification and he did a poor job representing our case. He didn't take the time to learn about the details, we sat in the court area while he was arguing the case with the judge in the judge's chambers and he did a poor job against the other attorney even though we had a strong case. He doesn't return calls or inquiries in a timely manner. He convinced us into accepting the other parties offer even though the judge would have granted more time. I would NOT recommend Hinote to anyone except my enemies. Oh, he also likes to make fun of the parties on his facebook page. Very poor professionalism.
