Reviews for Scott E.
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.He wrote a letter to the lawyer of the woman suing us after calling the county building department and the woman dropped the case. He billed us $1000 for that.
Regarding writing Power of Attorney for my elderly parents, he did what other lawyers would not have done. He wrote shared POA for 3 individuals. One for a hired care giver who is now able to steel from her employers and push the other two POA's aside. Shame on you, Mr. Blinks
He did absolutely nothing to help me. Never calls back. Admits that people were breaching contract and did absolutely NOTHING about it!
