Client Reviews
"Clear, prompt, and thorough. I'm very happy that I hired Scott for the review of my commercial lease agreement. He did a great job explaining the complicated legal language, answered all my questions, and offered many suggestions to present in my counteroffer."
"If I could find a 6* rating option it would be selected. Scott has drafted contracts better than expected, has worked with us on more complex issues to resolution and has a very clear and concise way of communicating all information, knowledge and legalities. He kept us up to date with his hours and was honest about his area of expertise when we asked niche questions about different areas of law."
"Scott did a great job. Although it was simple, I agreed with all his comments and advice and would use him again in the future."
"Scott provided quality advice in a timely manner."
"great lawyer!"
