My experience with Scott Boates and Jennifer has been very positive and most professional. They go the extra mile to make sure clients are being serviced in the most effective and professional manner possible. I have been a client for over a year. Custody cases require time and money if you desire the best representation possible. My questions and concerns are addressed in less than twenty four hours. Janis is extremely courteous and takes the time to answer any questions that may arise in reference to billable hours. Unfortunately most people do not understand the time and effort that paralegals and attorneys spend preparing cases that involve custody issues. Scott and Jennifer take the time for clients and their needs. I have not been disappointed and when I entered into my contract with the firm, I was fully aware of the time, work and fees that would be required to ensure that my case received the best representation possible. I highly recommend the team of Scott Boates and his wonderful team. THEY ARE THE GOLD STANDARD FOR CUSTODY CASES!!!

Don’t waste your time with scoot boats and with Jennifer. The amount you pay you would figure you would have at the most temporary order in after a year of hire them. Not to mention they couldn’t even remember that the child in the case is the 2nd child not my 1st. Then have there bill person Janis call and threaten to has boats off my case because I new bill popped out 2 weeks ago and to be threatened like that after speaking to boates knowing a new situation happened that needed immediate attention. Yea run from these guys

Absolutely not, my mom and stepdad went threw these ppl, first they lied on documents saying my step dad was bio grandfather to my son, later as my step dad was dying, I called tnem 4 days in a row begging tbem to plz come out amd get his will notorized tbey said tbey didn't offer those services. He was sitting of cancer. He ended up passing with no will notorized. Then when I took mom up there to get her will fixed, then knowing she has dementia, let her believe that the house was automatically hers, which it was not bc it had to be probated into her name, they put it in her will that the house was going to me. How could she give something to me that was not hers? Then sent her to Peggy bittic and that was another money scam. Do not use these ppl, especially if ur elderly and you have a lot on money. That is all they want, ur money. They knew if my step dad's will was not notorized my mom would have to spend more with them to probate everything. Peggy said that she would have gone out to get the will notorized. They r scam artists

Worthless. Left me in an isolation tank for nearly 5 months. I lost almost everything because of this man's inability to do his job. Trial is still a long ways away. I fired him and reported him to the National Bar Association in Washington DC.

It was truly a blessing to be represented by this dynamic duo. Blair and Rachel ensured I was informed and supported throughout my entire divorce journey. I wouldn’t wish family court on anyone, but having this pair behind me the whole way made it much easier!

I have to say even thought my situation was resolved quickly, Rachel was amazing. She was very professional but personable. She responded to all my questions in a timely manner and was there for anything I needed. God forbid I'm ever in this situation again, she would be the one I call.

I am not generally one to write reviews, especially negative ones, but I find it necessary to share this. We could not be happier with the outcome of the adoption process. Everyone involved was absolutely stunning, with the unfortunate exception of our attorney. Rachel Aguilar has consistently lacked any sense of urgency and has been unresponsive concerning our final official paperwork for over five (5) weeks. Many of the answers given before those five weeks were sporadic, vague, and almost completely uninformative.
Correspondence with Ms. Aguilar is handled almost 100% through email with response times frequently taking weeks. There was nearly zero voice-interaction with Ms. Aguilar other than early in the process. She seemed very capable at the beginning, but as we moved forward she revealed one ineptitude after another. Names on legal documents were misspelled multiple times and had to be corrected by myself and my wife. This caused the paperwork to be delayed then rewritten and then finally wrong again with the need to be written a third time. I found it aggravating as a client and as someone without a law degree to have to read through legal documents looking for basic errors that seemed to be missed in haste or incompetence.
Being that there has been no response concerning our case for such a long period, we also contacted the firm’s other partner Blair Parker to ask if Ms. Aguilar is still employed with the firm. We received no response from that inquiry either. Maybe this is an issue with the entire firm as there is no individual that actually answers phones. Again, in our case almost all contact is handled through voicemails and email beyond the initial consult.
This review only offers a very small peak at the aggravation and frustration felt by myself and the members of my family. Their experiences will be shared soon. I don’t need an explanation or any attempt to defend. I don’t need any excuses either. I have every bit of correspondence and the fact that this happened the way it was explained is easily read and demonstrably true. Even if there was a valid reason for a hold in the paperwork, it is indefensible to not share that reason or give an update to a paying client for over a month. The correspondence and expertise offered by this firm is clumsy at best, but most accurately exceedingly scattered and sparse.
There are many attorneys available, so choose wisely.

Represented me in a misdemeanor. Charged me more than originally agreed upon and then did as close to nothing as possible.

I used Mr Phillips for my divorce and child custody case, he was very knowledgeable in divorce law. Long story short I'm a man in a predominantly southern baptist community, Mr Phillips managed to get me full custody of my handsome boy and kept most of my assets which was just a plus. In this case it was worth every penny spent to have my son.

Well, their follow up has yet to occur. I've called twice to no avail. Moving on...seeking attorney that is interested in being an attorney....

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
