“Gina was absolutely horrible in every aspect of my child custody case by not calling officer McGraw to testify the abuse my son went through with his father, not contacting my social worker for evidence, not reviewing my case before the court hearing, and then charging me over $5,000 for her inadequate performance!”

View on Google →“Scott was great. He greatly reduced my charges by working with the prosecuter and even refunded some of my attorney retainer because he didn't use it all. I would recommend him highly.”
View on Google →“Scott James went above and beyond in representing me. I was initially appointed a different attorney who encouraged me to accept a plea deal. After retaining Scott due to unresolved concerns, he was able to get the charges dismissed entirely.”
