My mother has used Scott for a long time and never had much of an issue, HOWEVER...I retained him in January of 2023 for a child protective order I had filed on behalf of my son against my ex, and in court, despite the overwhelming evidence, he more or less just sat there and did nothing which allowed my ex to get it dismissed. Fast forward to now (December 2023) and I have filed to gain full custody of my son, called Scott again more due to history to see if he'd be willing to take the case, said he would but we'd need to get the hearing date changed due to him not being available that day, ok that's fine, we also had a verbal agreement between us directly that he was willing to wait on payment for retainer so we could get the money, but he would start on everything right away, upon attempting 3 DIFFERENT TIMES to come in and sign the retention paperwork, I was turned away by paralegals that "needed to talk to him first" about what? I made the agreement with him, not with a paralegal. Finally was able to come in to sign the papers, but I was told by Josie that he "needed everything up front first" 100% contrary to what we agreed to, and that "HE was the one who said it" yet refused to ask him with me standing there to confirm, as he came out of his office and saw me sitting there, and to this day still have not gotten a return email or phone call to confirm or deny any of this Like others have said, if you want to not be jerked around by this firm, then don't bother even talking to them, and they've missed out on a retainer and a guaranteed case win that would bolster their reputation Oh well 🤷‍♂️

A prosecutor lied, and Scott spent less than 5 minutes to find the info proving I wasn't present to receive the document the prosecutor claimed. Instant success.

This is an actual good man. He gave me advice and also cares. He seems very honest. He deals with tricky situations and loves helping people.

Scott did help me with my divorce case, but when it came to needing follow up done he sent a letter to my ex and pretty much told me I was on my own to fill the paperwork out, but charged me 300 for what! sending a letter!!! He wouldn't continue helping me with my case but charged me anyways. Sounds like a waste of money to me! Sad Just make sure he likes you and maybe he will finish the case.

Keith, Kristen, and this legal team have a profound knowledge and outstanding professionalism. Listens to my personal situation and advised me of my options and with them representing me made a difficult process as painless as possible. I would highly recommend Helgesen,Houtz&Jones for any of your family law needs.

The worst. Scott says on his bio on the site that he understands it's a difficult time he got mad at me because I cried and emotional in a mad way over the way things were going and I would ask him what would we do if my ex went with a custody evaluation and he wouldn't answer me except to say "You're getting ahead of yourself he won't do it" guess whaaattt. We have been going through one and are close to the end but he dropped my case because I angary cried. If you want to know any or all possible out comes. Don't use him

Great law firm…did an amazing job every step of the way. Thanks Scott for everything.

Cindy answered the phone and was amazing. She was able to point me in the right direction and give me information that saved me tons of time! Unheard of in this day and age. If this is how I was treated as a stranger for free, I could only imagine the top-notch service their clients must receive. Highly recommend!!

I have done business with this law firm 4 times now with the same attorney he is like family and I will not go anywhere else. Scott does an amazing job and is so kind. Trusts, wills, divorces, everything. He helped my kiddo with his concerns about things too.

Very helpful and easy to work with.
