I have now used the legal services of Scott Ives twice. The situations were very different, and in both cases Scott was professional, understanding and open to listening and advising me in which direction and strategy we should apply. In both cases we were successful, and the process was quick and stress free. I do not hesitate to recommend Scott's services.

If you've been injured in a car accident, seek the help of this highly experienced and compassionate attorney immediately! He will ensure you get the care you need, by the best dr. and fight for you so that you do not have to worry about anything but to recover from your injury. My family had a T-bone hit from another car. We were all traumatized and pained from the accident. But was not sure how to go about getting care and how our bills would be paid since I was in between jobs. Luckily, a friend of mine referred me over to Scott and said he'd coach me through the process and I was so glad I called him. He was patient, kind and thorough in explaining the process with me. He referred us to an outstanding chiropractor who specialized in soft tissue injuries and both Dr. and attorney worked together to make sure my family was well cared for. I'm so glad my kids and I got to feeling better in due time. Attorney Scott Ives has done right for my family and I. We are now able to rest at night physically and mentally knowing our health is taken care of and our bills are getting paid! Thank you Scott!

I first met Scott Ives last summer on a civil matter. I was ready to pay a retainer that day and he spent an hour with me and guided me through preliminary steps to get my case headed in the right direction. Once I completed the steps he officially took on my case a few weeks later saving me potentially several thousand dollars. He then successfully defended me in my case and I was absolutely impressed with his strategy, expertise and defense. Most importantly is his professionalism, integrity and honesty he constantly demonstrated by his actions during my case in that he truly cares about his clients in a compassionate manner. I have had the opportunity to live in many cities across the country and worked with several attorneys through the years. I can say working with Scot Ives has been the best experience of any of the other legal professionals I have worked with in the past. If you have any matter that requires an attorney I would recommend you give Scott a call right away!

I will provide a copy of the worst divorce agreement ever made,, it was made by Scott, and I agreed to it, trusting it was standard. It was not. Check back at the pictures. I will put it there. I just found out again how horrendous my settlement was. This guy screwed up so bad he left me unprotected, and with no leg to stand on in the future. I was to be paid 12,500.00, he put no date on it. I’ll never get my money thanks to this awful lawyer. Because of his wording on several issues, I was forced to pay money I should have never had to pay, and all the dates were off. Seeing these reviews as five stars makes me want to warn everyone of the tourcher I endured. He bullied me daily. I have spent an extra 10k cleaning up the mess he made. Please please!! Read your agreement and take it for extra review by a different lawyer. I don’t want to put my number on here. If anyone has a way I will make my divorce agreement viewable in the pictures. I would love to share the intricate details and how much he ended up messing me up. Please respond and I will follow up with you. Protect yourself.!! I was miss informed from the start.

I was referred to Scott by a friend who had used his services previously and my expectations were exceeded. I was able to meet with him very quickly and get the ball rolling. I was able to get everything drawn up and filed very quickly and everything was wrapped in 1/3 of the time I expected. I would highly recommend Scott to any of my family or friends

I have only one thing to say about Scott – simply the best attorney in town. He is passionate about his work and fights for his clients without reservations. I am the minority and I got burned by some lawyers prior to consulting with Scott; prejudged, discriminated and a victim of internal politics within law firms. Some of those lawyers seem to be a bit too friendly with each other and they seem to exchange information which was not in my favor and sympathetic to the opposition. I am still shocked because that whole thing is like a big scam. Scott didn't waste his time, my time or my money. I was lucky to have Scott’s representation, his fees are bit high compared to some other law firms, but boy I was glad to pay every cent of it (other law firms didn’t have a clue and just sucked my money down for nothing). Don’t take my word for it, just consult and see what an ocean of difference – knowledge wise, experience wise, and guidance wise Scott has compared to other lawyers. After getting burned down by other lawyers, I took a leap of faith and hired Scott and he completed the case in record time. I wish Scott all the best in 2019 and to continue doing the good honest work. He is a no no-nonsense straight to the point guy but in a very professional manner. Trust me, I have seen from sweet talkers to tough talkers and it’s a shame that people who should defend you in your worst life situation will abuse your situation for their personal gain. Scott works fair and square and is upfront on all aspects. Good luck!

Scott Ives is an awesome attorney. He is extremely professional and great in court. He is compassionate about representing his clients. He explains the legal process and always made me feel comfortable when I asked questions. I highly recommend him for any legal service needed. I have full confidence in his ability to win any case.

Attorney Ives is a great attorney. He guided me through the entire process, did not over schedule meetings, helped me think strategically in making my decisions, and has a great fee schedule. I am very satisfied.

If you need a Lawyer who is knowledgeable and frank, then Scott Ives is the way to go. My husband and I were referred to Scott by another Attorney when I had my issue; he jumped on my case right away without waiting. At first, I felt like he was against me in regards to my case and I wondered why. However, Scott was able to help me by writing a strong letter to the opposing party, which made them backed off quickly and resolved the dispute promptly. A poor outcome would have been devastating to my profession. Scott is exceptionally good in following up with his client’s case, getting in touch and returning client’s calls, which makes one feel special. I was happy with Scott services and the ways he handled my situation, and I’m sure you will too.

I hired Scott to help me get legal guardianship of my late brother’s daughter. Once I looked into the process, I knew I had to hire a lawyer. I didn’t even know where to begin. My case was not so straight cut because, while this was not a contested case, my niece lived in Korea with her mother. Scott actually spent some time researching the best avenue to get custody/legal guardianship. Scott was successful in getting me the guardianship in two weeks after the submission of papers. My niece has nicely settled in as a sophomore and is having a great time studying and participating in track and field. Lastly, I received a check for the remaining of fund. I wasn’t expecting this at all because in my calculation, he did not charge me for a lot of the research he had to do, so I figured what I had given him initially would be all spent. I was very surprised by his honesty. I never had a family lawyer, but now I have one!

Many thanks Scott,
Jae

I recently engaged Scott for the 4th time for some legal services. He is friendly, personable and very competent in carrying out his work. Important in my case was establishing, pre-court, a dialogue with the opposing attorney in order to reach a negotiated outcome. This he did very well to the benefit of my case. I highly recommend Scott.

Scott Ives is a very down to earth lawyer who takes the difficulty out of filing for a divorce. He helped me through a difficult time with ease. He cut through all the legal mumbo jumbo and explained it all making it a smooth process. I would definitely recommend him if you are in need of good legal help!

We have nothing but good words about Scott's legal services. Scott has been very accommodating, competent and reliable to our legal needs. He is also friendly and personable. My husband and I are very happy to have found him and highly recommend his services to anyone who seeks legal advice.

Man..... he’s that guy. I had some real bogus stuff going on and he took care of it, COMPLETELY. I do not have a worry in the world again thanks to him. I can move and live comfortably again for the most part because he took the time to hear me out. He may come off as stern or as I see it, straightforward, but it’s because he’s seen or worked some of the stuff you’re probably going through and he knows how these things play out. He’s unbiased and he knows what he’s talking about. Let him read you and be honest with him and I’m almost sure he will hold you down and care for your wellbeing. My number 1 guy now. You don’t need anyone else when you have Scott on your side. Do right by him, ask ALL of your questions and afterwards, listen to what he has to say or tells you. HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING SO JUST FOLLOW WHAT HE SAYS IF HE SUGGESTS SOMETHING, ITS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF YOU! The number 1 in Northern Virginia.

P.S. I only met with him a handful of times prior to the set date but every time we met it was for the case and we got busy and right to it. No bs talking or nothing, we saved that for afterwards. Trust him and be completely transparent with him. It’s the only way he can help you!

I am very happy with the way Scott Ives handled my legal needs. His professional approach put me at ease when we first met. Scott made sure I was well informed of all aspects of the case before we began. Once we started the case no details were missed, and Scott made sure I clearly understood what was happening throughout the entire case.

I have engaged Scott several times over the past 8 years, each time with pleasing results. This most recent engagement, my divorce, got a bit sticky due to unexpected changes in residency, required document translations, international document service, etc. But Scott stuck with me all the way through, finding a solution to each obstacle and concluding the entire matter in a shorter amount of time than might be expected.

Mr. Ives was a great help with my case. He followed through on everything, even taking time out to dumb down the legal jargon for my case's results. Definitely recommend.

I needed a lawyer for a child custody case. I decided to hire Scott S Ives and associate. Upon meeting with Scott I knew he would be the best lawyer for my case. Scott was very compassionate and went for my child as if it was his own. Scott was prepared for the case and got me so much more then ever expected. If you need a lawyer that will be prepared and fight tooth and nail. Look no further. Scott is the best in the area and at a fare price. I wouldn't look any further, you will get more then your money worth by letting Scott S Ives represent you in all your legal needs.

I found Ives & Associates Attorneys at Law through a network of lawyers around the area and decided to utilize his service for my personal injury case. Upon first meeting with Scott and his paralegals, they treated me with respect, were very friendly and informative. During the time spent on my case, Scott was prompt on getting back to me and was very direct. I would recommend him since I had a great experience with his law office and would not hesitate to use his services again.

I recommend Scott Ives.
Scott is a very diligent, well-prepared and exceptional lawyer. I retained him for a custody, visitation and support payment case during my protracted divorce. I was very impressed by how personally he took my case and ensured that my rights were protected and preserved at every turn. He went above and beyond my expectations and made me very comfortable with the sometimes intimidating legal process. Scott is the type of lawyer I would love to be in my corner, acting on my behalf, in all legal matters. I highly recommend his services. Thank you Scott...for all you did for me.

I first met Scott Ives over ten years ago when I needed his assistance with a dispute I had with my home builder. Scott has given me assistance on a number of legal matters since that time. I now consider Scott a good friend, as well as my attorney.

Scott is a phenomenal attorney. He’s dedicated to his clients and has great negotiation skills. He offers expert advice. He will inform you if he’s not an expert in a particular law or jurisdiction. He’s a good communicator who will present your case for the best outcome. Scott is exceptional with civil, employment, criminal, family and corporate matters. He will drop what he is doing to help in emergencies. His fees are reasonable. He’s very accessible if you have questions or concerns.

Scott is a determined warrior who you want on your side.

Mr. Ives has provided me with counsel on several legal matters including divorce, traffic, and property arrangements. His practical advice enabled me to make informed decisions and his aggressive, constructive and efficient pursuit of matters with other parties led to positive outcomes. I have confidently recommended Mr. Ives to several friends and colleagues who have shared feedback that is consistent with my own experience. I strongly recommend Mr. Ives.

I met with Scott to discuss employment related matters and he
gave me good advice to assist me in my career path. He listened to me, and gave me with good advice that resulted in complete resolution of my problem. I would recommend Scott as a fair and honest attorney to anyone with employment related issues.

I have worked with Scott Ives on a complicated divorce and custody case for the past year. I have found Scott to be a smart, aggressive and passionate attorney. He works hard to represent my interests, and I know that he cares deeply about my case. I know that Scott isn’t just after my money. He pushes me to try to try to save money by settling my case. But he has also always fought aggressively on my behalf in court when necessary. I am lucky to have Scott in my corner.
