Attorney Scott won all three of the different stages of the proceedings for our case. Attorney Scott was prepared with all document and evidence to present to the Judge.

Attorney Scott is on top of the scale for Attorneys in our area and North Carolina.

My experience with the Law Offices of Ron Scott was deeply disappointing and frustrating,…read moreespecially considering how critical the outcome was for my family. What started as a promising consultation quickly unraveled into months of poor communication, lack of preparation, and what I feel was a serious failure in legal representation. Initially, Mr. Scott came across as professional and compassionate. We discussed pricing, I paid a portion up front, and shortly after the rest, signed a contract, and submitted all evidence in early September. I expected the case would be handled promptly. It wasn't. After separating from my ex, I received a draft court order that included not only my case but highly sensitive information from another client. This serious breach of confidentiality was alarming. I reported it, and it was corrected--but the oversight indicated a careless approach from the start. As my parenting time began to feel unfairly restricted, I asked Mr. Scott several times to request an  emergency temporary custody hearing. He dismissed the idea, saying it would take too much time and be difficult and told me it was better to wait for mediation. Meanwhile, my ex's attorney filed for a hearing and got it, which I only learned about from her--not my own legal team. Repeatedly, I contacted Mr. Scott's office to confirm whether I had a hearing. Even the day before and morning of, I was left without answers. I went to court completely unprepared, only to learn from my ex and her attorney arriving, confirming that I did have a hearing. Mr. Scott had not reviewed my evidence--submitted four months prior--and was clearly unprepared. He appeared flustered, unfamiliar with my case, and failed to rebut a false claim that I'd been to alcohol rehab. Shockingly, in his closing statement, he implied I was "sober," reinforcing the lie. This being moments after I told him I hadn't. After the hearing, I was told support amounts had been agreed to by Mr. Scott without my input, just to avoid arrears. The amount was financially unsustainable. I had to re-explain my finances, which he already had. He acknowledged the math seemed wrong but didn't challenge the judge's ruling. Instead, he told me to defer my mortgage and car payments to stay afloat until mediation. I hoped mediation would be different. It wasn't. Mr. Scott thought it began at 10 a.m. when it was actually at 9, and didn't show up until after 10:20. He barely spoke to me about strategy, goals, or negotiation limits. His only early contribution was a generic legal disclaimer. For a lot of the 9-hour session, he was on his laptop working on other cases or distracted. When he did speak, his comments were often off-topic or inaccurate. I felt alone and unrepresented. When I brought up trial or fighting the temporary orders, Mr. Scott claimed he'd support it--then immediately discouraged it, reminding me I'd still owe the inflated payments until trial, which could take months. He even said the judge might tell me to "get a second job." This felt more like pressure to settle than genuine legal guidance. Throughout the entire process, I felt unsupported, misled, and underrepresented. I was never truly advised or protected, and at key moments I felt completely unprepared. The mediation ended in a pressured and unfair agreement. Mr. Scott acted more like a passive observer than a committed advocate. This is not how legal representation should feel. I began this process hoping I had someone in my corner. Instead, I was left with costly outcomes, limited time with my children, and deep regret for trusting this firm. I do not recommend the Law Offices of Ron Scott to anyone looking for reliable, responsive, or effective representation. After speaking with others, I was informed this was not a one-time occurrence.

While going…read morethrough difficult times, he is able provide excellent advice and guide you through the extremely complicated processes. Going through a divorce has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. Until I hired Rishi, I felt all alone. He is an amazing ally to have on your side and will always be there for your best interests. Rishi made himself readily available and would often initiate contact ensuring I was kept abreast of potential changes to the situation. He effectively negotiated and got me everything I asked for and deserved in my divorce. He was also affordable for my budget. If given the ability, I would rate my experience far more than the allotted 5 stars. If you find yourself in need of lawyer feeling confused, overwhelmed, and unaware of where to begin, I highly recommend and encourage you to consider Rishi Singh.

My son had wrote to them asking for some answers and never heard back. He finally was told that his lawyer had left but they would help in anyway; so he writes again and never heard anything. I personally feel that the money was all that they wanted. We would have gladly paid the remaining 10k if they had accompanied anything. I strongly suggest that when seeking out a criminal lawyer you definitely do your homework! Research them, go to several, and know that there are no refunds.

Makes you wonder who is really writing these comments eh? Gotta get those positive ratings up right? My experience is about the same as "Eric's". Our adoption process was left frustrated, double-billed, and ultimately left out in the cold. Law firm changed us for a "paperwork prep" time that obviously needed more prep since the lawyer showed up to court without all the papers that we gave her. A 1/2 day of leave and babysitter fees gone in the wind. Did she ever appologize? NOPE! Was the prep charge refunded?..NOPE! Filed Termination Order with obvious errors. Birth dates of children in question were wrong. If you do the math on the errors, the children would have been born less than within the same 6 months of the year, to make matters worse, we were told we would be charged again for the correction.....WHO LEFT THE GATE OPEN? Deleted correspondences, messages and charges for service paperwork off of the mycase website. Why delete this information unless you have something to hide? These are just 3 specific examples of our frustration. After we scheduled a date to sit down with the actual attorney for Wednesday the 1st, and not with the 2 assistants, we were told we weren't over-charged and that they weren't serving us anymore, all this over "MY CASE" website, not a phone call or in a personal discussion. How's that for service people? So, do you think I'm a fictional person making this stuff up? Lets wait for a response from them to see? (I copy and pasted this review from GOOGLE where I posted the original) This place is straight up garbage.......1500 dollar retainer is steep for most things needed..you won't get it back..and she'll let you go over MYCASE website......totally unprofessional.

My case was terrible to begin with and Mr Foyles actually made things worse. Additionally, he quit mid-trial and when I notified him I couldn't attend because my son had a doctors appointment with a specialist at Duke he lied and told the judge I chose not to attend.

Melissa and her paralegal, Marissa, not only helped me put the pieces back together for myself and my children, but they also empowered me throughout the process. They provided the guidance, support, and knowledge I needed to move forward and build a new life on the other side.

Mrs Patrick dismissed my case intending to refile and did it WRONG. The opposing attorney told her TWICE that she was doing it the wrong way. As a result my entire case was dismissed.

As a result...I got nothing- no child support, alimony OR retirement. She has the least amt of liability insurance an attorney can get (100k) and NOTHING is in her name. I paid her over 50K- she had to do an appeal and rule of 60 for free. She now has several attorneys representing her, and their attorney fees are paid by liability insurance. She refused to settle or discuss a settlement. I never felt she had my back, intentionally put things off, and was a terrible advisor. We never had a meeting before mediation, she was never prepared, and always seemed lost when appearing in court, and was dominated by the opposing attorney. I do not recommend using her !
