Our Client Testimonials

Christian is the best! He helped me in a very difficult custody situation. My son was getting physically abused. It was so difficult to see the court system not trying to protect my son. But Christian never gave up and fought for my son like he was his own. I will forever be grateful to him and his Wonderful paralegal Jana. So when I say they are the BEST, believe me they are! My son is now out of harms way because of Christian never giving up. So don't waste your time on other attorneys that will not care for the BEST interest of your child. You cannot put a price on peace of mind.Angie

From the moment I walked in they made me feel comfortable and safe. They consult me and I immediately happily retained their services. I was a nervous mess as I have different cases going a Restraining order/ Domestic Violence and Divorce . Both Daniel and Jana kept reassuring me that things will be okay and to confide in them. I had to get a little lecture , but that’s ok as I needed it...They really now what they are doing. We have recently gone to our first court hearing and I’m HAPPY of how things are turning out. Patience is a virtue. And I don’t mind waiting as long as things are handled appropriately.Iris G.

Mr. Scott represented me in my divorce action. It was a difficult time in my life and dealing with the custody of my children and support issues, Mr. Scott and his team really came through for me. He was aggressive when he needed to be but was able to settle all of my issues outside of the courtroom. I met with other attorneys before I met with Mr. Scott. I am very glad that I waited until I found Christian and at the end of my interview, I hired Mr. Scott. We went to court and everything, but there was no arguing in the courtroom like many of the other cases. Mr. Scott had 4 other cases the morning of my case. When he showed up it was like he was a celebrity. Other attorneys came up to him and greeted him. His other clients greeted him. I even saw the investigator and some mediator come up to him and speak with him. I saw him argue against another attorney when he was unable to work something out and the Judge ruled in his favor on everything. Gave him everything he asked for. It was very impressive. After he argued that case, he went out in the hallway spoke with the attorney on the other side, came over to me and spoke with me about the negotiations and I was very happy with where I stood. I happily agreed to what Mr. Scott worked out. We went into the court room, Mr. Scott told the judge the agreement and I was out of there. Now that the divorce is over with, I am very happy. I have a great custody situation, 50/50. My ex wife and I have gone to co-parent counseling at the suggestion of Mr. Scott and have a working co-parent relationship. I am very happy with the property division as well. The case took about 6 months from start to finish. I am very happy with my choice. I hope I never need Mr. Scott's services in the future, but if I have a problem, I would go straight back to him and his team. I have recommended him to my friends and co-workers and have never heard a complaint.Anonymous
