Cinda and her Team worked hard to deliver results that exceeded my expectations, A++++ !

Ms. Scales recently represented me in a child support/custody dispute and did an amazing job. She protected my interests and the outcome of the case was better than I had ever expected. My only regret is that I hadn't hired her sooner.

Dont waste your time
They didnt want to take the time to hear anything

We hired Stephanie for an adoption case and she was amazing! We had been told we didn't need a lawyer as we were the guardians of the child and nothing would change. But when the lawyer for one of the other parties started getting nasty, we hired Stephanie and she was appropriately aggressive. I don't care what anyone else thinks. This firm was excellent and guided us every step of the way. I can't imagine a better way to spend my money than to ensure the well- being of a child. I would rate higher but 5 stars is all I'm allowed. Keep up the great work!

Very very good lawyers. Knows about every law there is to know.Generations of knowledge passed down. If your a man especially or woman you still stand a chance with this firm. They just continue and continue fighting for for you. Worth every penny best money I've ever spent

The Scales Law office is awesome! They are able to advise you on just what is going to happen and what needs to be done. I always felt they had my wants and needs in mind and were able to tell me what was possible. I have and will recommend them over and over!

Stephanie was excellent, factual, to the point, fought for the things that mattered to me the most. Very helpful in a very difficult time.

If you need a family court lawyer then Stephanie Scales-Sherrin is the lawyer to have hands down. Very professional and effective. We would hire her again.

If you need a good family lawyer, do not go here. They will nickel and dime you for every little thing. It's all about the money. They could careless about your case. And when you go to court you might want to take a sign with your name on it so they know who you are. I felt like I had a public defender but was paying for it. I spent almost $5,000 on Cynthia Scales and she did nothing. Most of the work was done by her secretaries, and I had even given her things( pictures, text, etc..) to use in court. But was probably never looked at and was definitely not used. This is the first time I have had to deal with a lawyer and will be my last. Could have probably done better myself. People call her a bulldog (which is a dumb term) but from what I seen she is nothing of the sort. She is very short when you have questions about things. So if you want to throw your money around and get treated as you are nothing then this is the place for you.would not recommend this place to anyone not even my enemy's.

She was VERY rude to me and my Mom. We went in there expecting help because her secretary said I had a case, but, she was very rude and dismissive. Would NOT recommend her..

Stephanie represented me at my divorce. It was an easy case, but she did great and best of all, She gave me piece of mind. Thanks to the Scales Law Office! Hopefully, I will never have to use any legal services again, but if I do, itll be this team.

First of all, a friend of mine went to this attorney and she wouldn’t even let her speak at all, Then told her things that were not true according to other attorneys she has spoken to. I would never use an attorney who doesn’t listen to the client. After all isn’t the client paying you to do that? In addition, How do you even know the entire case if you don’t go over that with your client? The other comments on here that she’s rude, short with you and treats you like You are the dirt beneath her shoe are true

Cinda represented me in my divorce which went ok and I feel she did a good job. However, when I needed her to help me renegotiate visitation for my pre-teen girls, I left court feeling like she did nothing and rather than less control over the girls, he got more. How does that happen?? The next time I represented myself and did better.

Personalized attention. Straightforward. Experienced.

Cinda was awesome helping our son in a custody case. The staff were very compassionate n helpful. Thank u Cinda!

If you are looking for someone who is going to fight for you - I highly recommend Stephanie. She is not warm and fuzzy - so if youre looking for that go get a teddy bear but if you want someone who smells blood in the water and is not afraid to grab a bite out of someone's @$$ - then she is the attorney for you. I got my baby boy back from his trifling father - so yes I recommend her.

Cinda has represented my husband on numerous occasions in family court. She came highly recommended, and she fulfilled our every request. Although pricey, you really do get what you pay for. She was thorough, precise, and reliable. She was very much so familiar with our case at all points over the past 2 years. Her office staff always had our questions answered in a timely manner. We received copies of all correspondence in a timely manner. Cinda is very direct, to the point, factual, and cuts out all the unnecessary filler papers and statements that other attorneys like to use. She does not sugar coat or coddle. She listens to what you’re actually asking for and sees that she makes it happen. Cinda is brutally honest and will call it like she sees it. We could not be more pleased with her services.

Brought her tones of information she could use to help my case she just sat there once the judge found out the situation from the opposing attorney Mrs. Robinson what all I did for my daughter I got 50 50 custody

Find another attorney. The office looks run down and unprofessional.

Ms. Cinda Scales is fierce and fair. She has built a solid reputation over her many years in this field. She is not a counselor or a life coach, she listens, assesses, and then gives the good - the bad - and the ugly in regards to legal advice. It may be hard to digest initially, but do you want your lawyer advising you of such so you may process it and then develop another game plan, are prepared, or by the judge - who then issues a decision? The most difficult part of any legal matter is feeling so passionate in our convictions, our positions, and typically about our most beloved -- we naturally are going to feel most right, even in our most objective mindset. It is challenging and uncomfortable to make compromises on issues we don't want to, having to sacrifice some items that we feel like we shouldn't - but the truth is, it is statistically improbable to get everything someone wants in scenarios such as these. It is negligent for a lawyer to be a "yes man", they owe it to you and I to prepare us of the opposition. At the end of the day, you have to make an investment in someone you feel comfortable with that when push comes to shove, you trust their experience, you trust their judgment, and you trust their ethics. This woman is sensible, smart, respected, no nonsense, experienced, and hard working - not to mention most trusted by the late and great Ms. Gaither. Highly recommended!

Great staff. Mrs cinda scales is amazing. She knows what to go after and how to get it

You have to give at least 1 star for the review to count but if I could, I would not give Cinda Scales any stars. She came extremely highly recommended but other than pushing a lot of paper which I am pretty sure WAS NOT prepared by her but I was billed at her fee, she really did nothing for me in my divorce. I have noticed a common complaint from other reviews in that she did not even recognize me at the courthouse for the first hearing in my divorce case. That should have been my first clue that this was not going to go well. Second clue was when she kept asking ME for information I had provided to her on numerous occasions - very disorganized. Worst thing though was after I had signed my Pre-Trial Memorandum, had it notarized and submitted, she something in it WITHOUT my knowledge and used the original signature page and submitted it to the court - AGAIN, without my knowledge and then she had the audacity to bill me for it.
At the final hearing she basically questioned why I was would reject a settlement offer over "not important stuff" related to the property distribution and I felt like I was basically badgered into accepting whatever she, the judge and the opposing attorney had come up with as a settlement.
I NEVER received monthly statements until the conclusion of my case and I had to call four times to receive anything and again, I had requested the statements be emailed to me but of course they were mailed because let's bill a few more $$'s.
I don't think I could have done any worse using one of those online do-it-yourself divorces. Do your homework before hiring this law firm!!

Took my money and ran. Liberal dont care about what we had to say. Completely a waist of money. please take her license. She knows nothing about morals. Makes all her money on consultation. Makes her clients feel like they dont have a voice. I want my money back. Do not hire, look elsewhere. God bless and good luck. Completely ignorant. Egotistical and wont help one bit. Has no heart. Any good reviews are fake. She has friends that's all. Complete waste of time and money. Et phone home. Wish I could give negative stars.

Cinda Scales is the nastiest, ugliest, most rude lawyer i have ever seen in my life. Save your money and get a lawyer that actually cares about your case, not the paycheck.

A lot of rush during consult. Didn't like the attitude from the lawyer, not customer service oriented and didn't listen to find a solution towards our interests.

I met and talked with Stephanie today to see if I wanted to hire her for my custody case. She made me wait for her for over an hour and it was a scheduled consultation. She came in extremely rude and didn't care to listen to anything I had to say and then had the balls to say " you're just mad because I made you wait an hour"... She was one of the rudest ugliest people I have ever met. She doesn't care about any of her cases and just wants the money. I don't recommend her at all. Please save your money and go find someone who has heart in what they do and not just looking for a pay check. Et phone home

When I drove up and saw the building, I should have known. She was very ignorant. And when she told me the fee Where is the money going?? Not for her clients and definitely not for herself. Must have private issues.

If you want a low, non-conservative, democratic, liberal lawyer, she’s the one for you! If you are a good, genuine person needing someone to protect you and your situation, please do not go to her. She will talk to you like dirt instead of listening to and supporting you.

She was very rude from the moment she walked in. I am an elementary school teacher with a very valid case and she disrespected me the entire time. She spent 20 minutes with me and barely listened. I don’t see how she has one positive comment/review on here. It blows my mind. She wanted $3500 after being that rude and trashy. Just wow.

Excellent law firm! Professional, cost effective and fantastic courtroom presence. Could not ask for better legal service.

Cinda knows her stuff. If you're going to get an attorney, you might as well get the best. She's tough, no nonsense, but detailed and quick. Everything you want in an attorney and nothing you don't.

How did I have a one star rating?! I didn't even know I had this open. I don't normally review anything but to be certain, if any lawyer deserved five stars, it's Mike Scales. To fix an error made by my pocket, I leave a proper public rating. You'll never have an attorney work harder for you. Hiring Mike Scales was the smartest choice I've made. He is a straight shooter and a bulldog of an attorney.

I have a friend using Scales Law office and Cinda is his lawyer. And Cinda has done nothing but take his money and mess up paperwork. Paying a lot of money to have a good lawyer and get nothing..

When my son was facing divorce, we took him to Cinda Scales. Why? Because Scales Law Office represented different attorneys I've worked with when they were divorced. Tough. No-nonsense. Effective. I highly recommend Scales Law Office to anyone who needs representation in a family law matter.

The Scales law office is the most diligent and professional divorce attorneys in the Eastern Panhandle of WV. I work in the field of law and refer everyone to this location. They fight hard with class!
