The reviews speak for themselves. Consultation was $250 went great. Paid $2,500 cash in February for Cinda to represent our family never heard back, so we contacted the office in September 7 MONTHS LATER. Secretary claimed they left 1 voicemail in February, which they did not! We are willing to pull our phone records if able to prove so! So in 7 months “1 voicemail was left” which it wasn’t. Not 1 more call, not an email, not a certified letter.. absolutely no communication for over 6 months is CONCERNING AND QUESTIONABLE! We decided we did not want to proceed with our case due to this reason and was pleasantly surprised when we got a refund back of over $2,100! Our family is going to hire a different office for our very simple needs.

Horrible service. They serve no one other than themselves.

Horrible service just money hungry and serves no one but herself

We needed some advice and he gave us advice that was way more valuable than we couldve imagined.Thank you Mr. Scales!!! Your knowledge saved our home and sanity many times over!!

Scales Law Office, Cinda Scales, recently represented me in a Family Court matter. I was very well represented and satisfied with the outcome. Thank you, Cinda!

Please guys do not use this attorney, you'll be wasting your time, and importantly you'll be wasting your money, scales has a reputation for supporting the person you're in conflict or at odds with, and her assistant (it's not hard to miss or spot her) is absolutely terrible, unhelpful and they only CARE ABOUT YOUR MONEY! I spend alot of $$ on this firm and she WILL NOT FIGHT FOR YOU and your interests.. please take your hard earned money 💰 and find a male attorney who will actually fight for you and do you justice and get you a better outcome.. stay away from scales law firm..take it from me.. if i could submit 0 stars 🌟 I would. I'm here to help the next guy the next male so they don't make the same mistake I did.

BEWARE!!! Had neither the time, or frankly I believe, the intention of seeing my case through. There is a reason every bill comes with the threat of being dropped. I paid every bill, maintaining the full retainer for over 10 months and I was dropped as a client 1 WEEK (to the day interestingly, I dont think it would have been granted after) before my final hearing, 11 months later. She retained over 80% of her advance retainer fee at this time?! I was sent the first non-itemized bill I received the entire year, mailed 2 weeks (YEP mailed) before my court date. No, I was not contacted about a meeting to prepare, or even a phone chat about any additional info I could provide to help ensure things went my way. I was told I had less than a week from when I recieved it, while I was out of the country, to pay. Even after a phone message stating I had not yet received the bill and would pay the following business day upon my return, by phone with a service fee, I was dropped. Surprise surprise somehow in that time "work was done" on my case and I didn't receive the full retainer amount listed on the last bill (from 2 weeks ago). The judge was told I "failed and refused to fulfill [my] financial obligation to council." Somebody failed to fulfill their obligation and it wasn't me. I should have known since every bill threatened to drop me, from the beginning that was the wording of the billing statements. While she had my money! I suspect that was the intention going in and since I did not fail to pay, a completely unreasonable, and I suspect unethical, situation was created. Interestingly, I was dropped on the day I still had until close of business to pay. Before I even "failed" in my obligations. I wonder if it's ok for a lawyer to lie to a judge like that? I certainly ended up screwed, which I won't go into here, by facing a 2 hour hearing finalizing every aspect of my divorce, ALONE. 1 year and over 6k later. I am filing a complaint and will let the board decide.

Very comprehensive understanding of my case and extremely communicative!

READ THIS FIRST!!!!!!! Prepare for the worst! If you want your life taken away, this is the lawyer for you! Learn your rights and defend yourself! These people do not care about your livelihood and will take advantage of you every step of the way! --- BEWARE VETERANS!! None of these lawyers in Martinsburg have your best interest at heart, they are COLD as ICE, your family are a paycheck to them. Look for the Truth in their laws, they are not even following themselves. These people think you are ignorant and expect you not to stand up for your rights! You have rights to 50/50, the SUPREME COURT has made decisions on this for decades. Do you think you are the first one to be deprived?? Look at this WV LAW?? They are allowed to COERCE YOU!!! that means to force you into an agreement. Does this seem constitutional?? Don't let them trap you! Don't give them any information about your life, you have rights to privacy and these people are LITERALLY running a business, and your family is the product!! WV §51-2A-9. Contempt powers of family court judge. (b) A family court judge may enforce compliance with his or her lawful orders with remedial or coercive sanctions designed to compensate a complainant for losses sustained and to coerce obedience for the benefit of the complainant. This is not legal advice but if you do not learn for yourself, you are putting your life in their hands and all you have to do is READ! Just read people, please!

Eh, I wouldn’t. I’m not sure she understands what the word consultation means. She was 15 minutes late, sits down and just steamrolls me with questions that would have all been unnecessary at that point had she taken the time to do what she was paid for and allow me to CONSULT with her. Don’t take advice on credit from her either
