Hi Scott, I'm your client. I've been trying to reach you for three days and you are always "out of the office" when I give my name. I believe you made a mistake in my divorce. I'm supposed to be able to sell my house or at least make payments on it. I own the house and I'm about to be foreclosed on and lose everything I haven't already lost. I can't afford a new lawyer because when I did all the work on the case, you asked for it and then charged me for multiple people to review it. As far as a review, plan on being your own lawyer. If my mother wasn't a retired paralegal I would have lost everything. I practically had to force them to subpoena documents. Afterwards, they said they found no evidence of my allegations. I had to ask for the documents and it was hard getting them for some reason even though I think I'm supposed to be sent a copy. Thanks for the document dump by the way. I sat down for 16 hours making an excel spreadsheet showing proof of all my allegations. He seemed mean after that. Like I was forcing him to work and I got the feeling of "just go along with it". I feel the same way all the other negative reviews. Ignored, work not done, doing the work myself and being charged, felt like he was working for the other side, always in the dark. I felt like I had no power or say in anything. If I said anything he would get an attitude and be very rude in my opinion. I was afraid. I couldn't afford another retainer because nothing was happening with the case. My ex had perjury in the double digits and nothing was done to change it. I had no income for 3 years, which is how long it took me to get divorced. I do not have children. I thought you were given a divorce within a year if you have no children. I thought this lawyer was out of my life, but now my house is being foreclosed on and I can't make a payment or sell it. What a nightmare. I guess I'll borrow another $5k for a retainer for another lawyer to fix his mistakes. It's Friday and I've called for three days. He clearly isn't going to respond to me. I think the positive reviews are fake, unless I'm treated this way because I'm a woman or because I don't make six figures a year and he can charge an outrageous amount for his paralegal and office clerk to do ALL the work. God help you if you hire him, no one else can.

Scott is a hero. I hired Scott and his firm for a complex divorce. He was able to navigate the many twists and turns that arose over the 6 years of my divorce process. He is brilliant at seeing the big picture and helping get to the end goal. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone looking for excellent results during the stressful divorce process.

With the help of Scott and his staff I just finished what has to be one of the worst divorces possible. I believe I received the best results possible given my situation using this firm. I fired my first attorney for poor communication and "0" results and then learned about Scott through 3 good friends that were very pleased with Scott and the results from their divorces. I'm a small town USA, Ohio guy and to be honest figured I couldn't afford this big city TOP NOTCH FIRM. I was wrong, ended up i couldn't afford not to use Scott. I would recommend Scott to anybody looking for a great divorce attorney. I'm giving Scott 5 stars because that is my highest choice. I'm going with 10 stars if you've read my review to this point.

Scott was there for me with everything I needed going through my divorce, and well even after when I needed him. He was the only reason I survived everything!!

I would highly recommend Scott not only for his legal expertise in domestic court but because he really does care about what happens to you and your family. I had a case that was dragged out by my ex and he was there every step of the way. He listened to my concerns and always communicated ahead of time what I should expect.

This attorney was a very poor communicator - ignoring numerous emails and questions and very often ignoring requests for a short phone call. When he did respond it was short and incomplete. He pushed much of his communication to his associate attorney.

I "fired" my first divorce attorney and went through 3 additional consults before I found Scott. His experience and rapport with the courthouse staff gave me a tremendous advantage in our case. He walked me through my options during each piece of the divorce, and was able to secure me a settlement that went far beyond my expectations. Sharp-witted, kind, firm, and not someone that the other counsel wanted to mess with; I couldn't have crafted a better lawyer. Recommend.

I was ignored and poorly advised at every turn. He refused to negotiate with opposing counsel when we had a distinct advantage (due to a signed agreement yet to be ruled on.) opting to litigate the case at trial. This would have been alright except he hadn’t prepared at all. I was forced to outsource research, and even prepare affidavits myself that were never looked at, much less filed. Nor were any responses filed to their false and disprovable claims, subjecting me to constant harassment by my ex. I was told that we would address it at trial. Fine. I was never kept informed of any developments, ignored any time I had concerns, and forced to hunt down witness names and info myself. Also fine. But they never issued subpoenas or entered a witness list to the court. The day before the trial was scheduled, the opposing counsel had subpoenas, witness lists, and filings. Scott Rosenthal had issued no subpoenas or witness lists, looked over none of the documentation refuting their claims, and HAD DONE NOTHING TO PREPARE FOR TRIAL AT ALL!!! Whether it’s incompetence, disinterest, or laziness, I couldn’t say. . At that point he demanded we settle that day at an extreme disadvantage. He pushed me into a terrible agreement, ignoring me and even talking over me when I told him what I was ok with, glaring at me anytime I voiced concerns. I wound up with tremendous debt and less money than I had been receiving in support. DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE!!

Scott was recommended to me by a friend and I hired him as my divorce attorney. I found him to be open, honest, professional, and easy to work with. Scott is very knowledgeable and is well respected by his peers and counsel. He was quick to respond to voice and emails. i was very comfortable working with him and felt he always had my best interest in mind. Staff is great too! I would hire him again!!

Scott was amazing. I had a very difficult, long divorce that ended in a full trial. I gave him full control and let him guide us through the process. He treated me with respect, care and kindness while representing me like a fierce lion. He was able to secure me and my daughter financially. And in the end. I'm proud to say he is my attorney and now a friend. I will always be greatfull!!!

Scott represented me in my divorce case 9 years ago. Since then I have recommended him to family and friends in need of a divorce lawyer. He is knowledgeable and diligent and kept me informed of all new developments in the case, every step of the way. It was a pleasure to work with someone who is understanding and thorough during a such stressful time in my life.

Scott handled my divorce and custody battle in a long and protracted divorce against a bitter spouse. He was kind, sensitive and caring at all times. He responded to every text, email or phone call promptly...never longer than 30 minutes...in the entire 1.5 year divorce process. He never resorted to underhanded or dirty tactics and it showed in the respect he was given by the judges and court staff. He was fair in his billing to me and gave me good advice in not only dealing with the legal process, but the emotional aspects of the divorce as well. I would highly recommend Scott to any client going through a nasty divorce because I really don't know how I would have gotten through the whole process without him.
