I used Scott to handle my divorce in 2016. My ex was very difficult and the negotiations for a…read moresettlement were drawn out, through no fault on our side. Scott helped me hold strong and ultimately agree to a settlement that was fair to both sides yet was more than acceptable to me. Not only did he offer great legal advice and prevent me from just giving in to get it done, but he also helped me on the personal and emotional side of the ordeal and kept me strong until a settlement was reached. I found Scott to be extremely knowledgeable and experienced. When the ex came back looking for more (the first time,) he dismissed her demands and she went away. Now that she has come back (the second time,) he is helping me fight back hard and put an end to this nonsense. The fact that she has come back twice is a good indication that Scott's original counsel prevented the other side from getting their way. I am not sure about the earlier review, but Scott has always been very responsive and has returned my phone calls promptly. He would even fit me in between his court appearances. Scott was my second attorney during this divorce. The first one "nickeled and dimed" me for every minute but never truly answered my questions. Scott has been more than fair in terms of his fees and did not charge me to read every text or answer every call. He always provided answers to my questions and would elaborate and expand upon them and offer additional strategies. I would highly recommend Scott if you find yourself in the financial battle of your life.

Scott agreed to represent me after my previous lawyer bailed on me just days before mediation. He…read moredid the heavy lifting through multiple court hearings and helped me to get the best possible outcome despite a very difficult starting point. Scott is not only very knowledgeable but also enjoys an excellent reputation at the Wake County family court, which is important. While other lawyers might camouflage their weakness in court by acting as very expensive therapists, Scott is focused on the facts of your case and makes sure you will get the best possible outcome. James, his paralegal, is very caring, helpful and seems to have unlimited patience. Trusting a person is hard, especially in the emotional turmoil that comes with a divorce. I learned to trust Scott and follow his lead and never regretted it standing next to him when the judge announced the ruling. Scott has passion and a very good heart. He always will be my hero.

Run! Do not hire Matthew Jensen as a divorce lawyer if you are female. From the reviews (males) he…read morehas high reviews, but not in my case. I asked several times if he was working for me or my soon to be ex husband. He wanted me to bow down to whatever my ex wanted, instead of fighting for what I wanted and deserved. Spoke very rudely to me. Saying I was dragging my feet on signing paperwork when I was waiting for my name change to be finalized, which he knew I was doing. Funny that the day my name legally changed I sent him the paperwork and then 2 days later (dragging our feet?) he sent the updated paperwork, I signed, had notarized and sent back the next day. But yes, I was dragging my feet. I'd say Matt was just as bad as the ex. If you want to pay for your ex to have a second lawyer, Matt's your guy. Otherwise, find someone who will represent YOU and will fight for YOU. After all I am the one paying the bill. Even though he constantly threw the cost at me. I never complained about the cost and paid every bill as soon as the link was sent. When I told him he was a horrible lawyer, he responded I was difficult to deal with. Interesting.

27 days after signing paperwork to settle a case before the court date to avoid court , the actual…read morecourt date has literally now came and gone and I still have not received any funds. A little irritated that after settling, my attorney hasn't pushed the issue a tad more. I feel a little like "oh the case is closed our job is done" yet my court date I could have had has come and gone , I settled way before the court date but still have received anything. I'd recommend before settling any cases through this office that you have them place a timeframe in your settlement so opposing counsel can't drag things out for weeks even after you agree to settle.

I had a difficult time trying to find the right professional mediator to help me in my divorce…read moreprocess. I was looking for someone who was reliable, professional compassionate, and honest. I wanted to find someone who could completely understand both the legal process of divorce, as well as the impact divorce has on people going through it. I did not want to work with someone who would take advantage of my situation during such a vulnerable time. Thank God a friend of mine recommended Jennifer Feinstein to me! I am usually very hesitant to write reviews, but I need to share my experience so others can be helped in the way that I was. Jennifer exceed all possible expectations I had during the process. She was compassionate, so knowledgeable, and warm. She took control of the mediation process even during the more difficult times when I didn't think mediation would be able to continue. She was so friendly and opened hearted, but the most important part was that she was very honest. Knowing her was a blessing. I would love to recommend Jennifer Feinstein to anyone looking for a mediator that you can easily talk to and work with!

Run, don't walk away from this firm…read more My ex-wife used this firm while we were going through our divorce. Our divorce was very amicable. We did not need to go to court or even to any kind of sit down with lawyers. Her and I basically ironed everything out ourselves. My ex decided she wanted a lawyer to make sure she did everything correctly. Choosing this place was a huge mistake that cost her a lot of money. This firm kept asking for more money to do this or that or anything that needed to be done. By the time it was all over, my ex had paid far, far more than what she thought she was going to pay. Does this show how amicable the divorce was? The first thing I am saying this place did wrong, was overcharge her, not me! When I was first contacted by this place, I was asked to upload a ton of financial information to a shared file site. I uploaded over 50 documents to the site the next day. About a month later I get a voicemail from them saying that they need these documents to proceed. The voicemail also said that they would like to be able to proceed without further litigation, which will be needed if I don't upload the documents. I called them and told them that the documents were uploaded a month ago. The lawyer checked and sure enough, the documents were there! Really? You didn't check first? You just left a message about taking me to court to get the documents you already have? Crazy! There was a lot of terrible communication like this while dealing with this firm. There was more than one occasion where they asked me for something they already had. There was one time that I received a call asking for something they said they asked for already. I checked all previous correspondence with them and had no record of them asking me for what they wanted. The communication was so bad that during one phone call I had finally had enough and told them that they need to get their act together and learn how to communicate with each other. I told them I was tired of them wasting my time. It was incredibly frustrating dealing with these people. My ex had the same issues with them. They are very unorganized and sloppy. I could go on and on, but this is already long enough. The one other thing I wanted to mention is how they shipped papers to me. They put no more that 20 pages of documents into boxes and shipped them. I will add pictures to this to show the boxes. They were crushed and reused boxes. Is this how you would expect a quality lawyer to ship documents? I couldn't believe it the first time it happened, then it happened again! I'm sure this place will post a response to this review, like they have with other negative reviews. There is nothing they can say to wash away the fact that they don't communicate with each other, are disorganized and not very well run. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for a quality lawyer. Edit: As I knew would happen, this firm did post a reply. A pathetic one at that. I didn't ask you to address my review. I'm simply trying to alert others to your unorganized and unprofessional practices. If you cared for the environment, you wouldn't ship less than 20 pieces of paper in a box that could easily fit over a thousand pieces. I have zero plans to contact you to discuss anything. I am so grateful that I will never have to deal with your disorganized practice again!
