I strongly recommend Scott as a family court lawyer. Having dealt with one of the most difficult judges in the Kanawha county family court system he efficiently helped me gain full custody and even went outside of the state lines (verified laws and worte up AZ orders) to ensure my parental rights were upheld. After 8 months of not seeing my kids he effectively got the judge to order the children back the mother in contempt if not brought back. If you have a hard case ahead of you and then I recommend someone who is methodical and persistent good, both words I would use to describe Scott. he goes above and beyond for his clients. He's also a former family court judge would never hurts at all. 5 stars for my experiences with Scott.
