I had a great experience with Paul. I used him for my divorce and recently for a school district dispute. I read the review below which was negative and am very confused by it. I would say I researched lawyers fees, and his are on par. Also you get what you pay for, and Paul was well worth every penny. Having experience with lawyers before I know they can be very busy, and normally the ones that are not busy are not busy for a reason. Paul would always answer my text, and always get back to me if I left a message. If I was uncertain about something or wanted a meeting he would arrange it. He came to court very prepared, and is a great speaker. It was obvious in the court room that I had the superior lawyer. Most of the time Paul was able to tell me what was going to happen in court before it happen. The only exception was the school district final decision which he told me we had a good shot. He came to court with visual aids for the judge, and cold hard facts, while the other side had stories. He is also good on his toes and able to overcome adversity as it is thrown at him in the court room. When I went to court I would sometimes watch the other cases before me and I can say Paul is defiantly the best speaker, and he knows his stuff. In the end I won my case, but even if I had lost I knew Paul brought his A game. I knew he did everything we could to win. Also there was one time where I was so frustrated with my divorce, my X wife and the processes that I took it out on Paul, and he was still very professional with me and did not take it personal. I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for a lawyer. -TSgt Brandon Hamm

I was quite pleased with the outcome on my case and very happy with how professional and informative Paul was. He made sure to have my daughter and I in best interest. I would reccomend him to others, as I've done already.

This "lawyer" is a complete joke! His secretary and himself are the most sneaky, patronizing pair you will ever encounter. I could write a book on how unprofessional both were to my vulnerable sister going through a divorce. He was condescending towards her constantly. If she made a mistake on his name (note his name is two first names... a mistake anyone could make) he would correct her, then have the audacity to call her a different name in retaliation. He waited until the house was sold, took out his fees, put her money in his own private account, and wrote her a check for the amount. Mind you, my sister did not have a dime in her name, and her credit score plummeted (and it took days to clear Mr. Scott's personal check before she could get her money) I feel that was done vindictively so she had to wait longer! They were always going back and forth on who my sister needed to talk to causing a ton of confusion. Remember, Mr. Scott was recalled and FAILED when he tried his hand in politics! He was very sarcastic to her saying things like "I suggest you calm down". When she complained about the fees that he tacked on any chance he could get, he said something like "be happy I am not charging you more". Any reputable lawyer would let a small text slide by, but not Paul!! In my opinion I feel Mr. Scott being divorced himself has little regard for women, just my observation through this dreaded process. If there are any positive reviews on his website, I would not be surprised if it were his family or friends (if he has any). Please people, a divorce is hard enough, do not add extra stress by using this lawyer.

2023: Attorney Scott was sanctioned in circuit court financially regarding this matter. Harming children is a debt one will pay for the rest of their career, perjury is another. 11/2020 I Strongly encourage you to avoid retaining Paul Scott. Paul’s big ego doesn’t stand up to his tiny results. What will likely happen is destruction of a coparenting relationship, and costing you thousands of dollars more than ever should be spent. Worst of all, likely damaging your child’s overall wellbeing. A good attorney should mediate and counsel their clients. Instead of resolving this matter reasonably like it should Paul’s goal is to drag this on in court for many months. Paul does not care about facts, instead knowingly twisting the truth he makes false accusations wasting time and money that could be utilized for your children. Your child/children deserve better than making the mistake to get Paul involved. Below regarding prior experience: This attorney along with his prior cases should be reviewed for criminal activity/misconduct committed in a court of law by him and his clients. The only way he can attempt to gain the upper hand. This attorney is a disgrace to other attorneys, children most of all, and families. The Judge involved in my case is no longer responsible for reviewing family court cases thankfully. There is no wonder why. Paul Scott should be prohibited from representing clients in any case as an attorney as well. Do not use this person. Protect your children. There should be discipline for assisting clients to commit crimes and calling it representation. What went on was illegal. Is illegal. If you care about your children avoid. As a father going through the Genesee county court system you are already fighting an uphill battle when it comes to child custody. When you add on the behavior used by this opposing counsel and his client, many children and their parents would have no chance at having a fair shot at life. The children in the end are the biggest victims used throughout this whole sad process. This attorney assisted his client to commit multiple felony crimes in Genesee county court system. I will make this very clear. My son is with me 7 out of 14 days all year after this. Very good outcome. What was allowed to go on and the path it took to get that time with my son exposes what a disgrace our family court system is. No parent should have to go through this for bringing an innocent child into this world. Especially with people like this practicing law within it. I am a respected member of the community, helping many as an RN in Genesee county. Most important I am a father to my son. The fact that this person is still doing this to families and children is my main concern. Paul scott actually assisted his client to commit multiple accounts of felony perjury, multiple accounts of making false statements and accusations while representing a client, and assisted his client in falsifying and editing multiple documents submitted to use as exhibits during a court case. He used multiple forms of misconduct to try and gain the upper hand. All for what? ruining childrens lives..... (and earning $$ by while doing so) I wonder why attorneys act illegally and perform professional misconduct with no worries??. Our legal system, especially the family courts in Genesee County are a JOKE. Obviously this judge knows the attorney in question and will not pursue discipline. They are “professional” acquaintances. Its a joke. Which brings the Judges actions into question. If you have experienced similar behavior or attorney misconduct I would strongly urge you to report it to the Attorney Grievance Commision. Exposing a pattern of attorney misconduct with more reports coming through is key. If you truly care about your child or children I strongly encourage you to avoid.
