Scott came highly recommended by a personal friend who is also a lawyer, and he lived up to the reputation. I needed legal help during a very hard time in my life, which would have been so much more difficult if not for Scott's excellent counsel and work ethic. I was immediately at ease upon our first meeting-- he's very good at what he does and brings that professionalism to bear with a personal touch. I felt very confident knowing Scott, and the whole team at Fuerst, Carrier, & Ogden, were in my corner. Scott is one of the smartest and hardest-working lawyer's in the state. Cannot recommend enough.

I hired Scott Odgen to take on my custody battle case, that a previous attorney I had hired was unable to do. He was very professional but stern with the opposing attorney; even with the covid virus he was able to finish the custody agreement. Every cent was worth it towards paying Scott. He is super nice , up front about everything and doesn't let anyone walk all over him and works day and night for every client he has. I would and will recommend him to anyone that's looking for a awesome attorney.

We would highly recommend Scott Ogden and his staff to any of our family and friends. From the beginning to end, he and his team were fantastic. We were treated with the upmost respect, courtesy, and professionalism throughout the entire process. What seemed like a difficult journey and a "mountain to climb" ended up being a stroll through the park. We have, for the first time, a sense of safety and security within our family that we have never experienced before and we will be forever grateful to Scott and his staff.

Scott Ogden and his staff are very personable, knowledgeable of the court system, and maintain a good relationship with their client. He presents very honest recommendations and feedback throughout the process, while showing support for your well-being. I couldn’t have chosen a better attorney while going through my divorce. If dealing with an unfortunate situation, I highly recommend Scott as your attorney.

Scott handled my divorce for me incredibly well. He and Robin were always there to answer my questions in a timely manner and things went very smoothly on their end. I was overseas for the vast majority of the case and Scott ensured that I stayed informed and I was able to focus on work instead of being stressed. Every visit with Scott and Robin, to include the surprise visit by Randy was memorable and quick. Visits were highlighted with laughs and jokes which is a nice change of pace from how movies and tv depict lawyers. I mentioned a non-law related issues I was having and Scott generous enough to put me in touch with someone who was able to knock out the issue right away and I cannot thank him enough for that. There isn’t another lawyer in Lake Charles that I would go to other than Scott.

I was extremely satisfied with Scott Ogden!! The responses were always quick and very informative. I wanted my situation to be handled in a civil manner and he was 100% supportive of that. Everything was handled quickly and smoothly. I honestly could not have imagined a better lawyer. No matter what someone's individual situation may be I would HIGHLY recommend Scott!!

I have so many good things to say about Scott Ogden. I had some divorce and custody issues. I had a consultation with Scott and Robin. They were professional, organized, and detailed. We had court twice and both times, Scott was well verse and stressed his points. The divorce was fair and I have 50/50 custudy of my kids. Scott Ogden is passionate about what he does, once you meet him you would see what I mean.

Scott Ogden is hands down the best attorney, the whole law firm was wonderful!! He won a expartè for me and that rarely happens for the one it’s being filed against! He also got me everything I wanted on a custody case. Scott thank you for everything!!!

Anyone dealing with a stressful case, please call Scott. Very strategic and smart. I was able to get my kids back from another jurisdiction at the 11th hour. I have two lawyers and as David would say Scott pulled me a Hail Mary and is a nice guy. I am forever grateful thank you guys so much.

Mr. Ogden was so kind and understanding! He spent 3 hours helping me figure out what to do during our consultation in order to get custody of our niece and nephew, and when our hearing date came and the hearing officer wanted to reschedule us (which would have caused us to have to pay more), he went in and argued for us, and we were seen that day! I knew exactly what to do and what was going to happen in the hearing too so there were no surprises. Everything went great and we now have custody of our niece and nephew! We hope to have Mr. Ogden help us with adoption next!! :)
