⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough good things about this family law office. Going through a family legal matter is incredibly stressful, but from the very first consultation, they made me feel heard, respected, and genuinely supported. The attorneys were professional, knowledgeable, and always took the time to clearly explain every step of the process so I never felt lost or overwhelmed. Communication was excellent. Calls and emails were returned quickly, and I was always kept updated on my case. What really stood out was how much they truly cared about getting the best outcome for my family, not just treating me like another case number. They were honest, straightforward, and fought hard on my behalf while still keeping things as smooth and respectful as possible. If you need a family law attorney who is compassionate, responsive, and highly skilled, I would absolutely recommend this office without hesitation. They made a difficult situation much easier to navigate, and I’m incredibly grateful for their help.
I spoke with Joseph Scott Law for a consultation during one of the darkest periods of my life. At the time, I felt completely powerless, like I had no voice, no leverage, and no one truly on my side. I genuinely believed I was going to lose everything without any ability to influence the outcome. Before speaking with Joseph, I had consulted with two other attorneys. Both consultations were expensive, and neither attorney advocated for me or helped me understand my situation in a meaningful way. I left those conversations feeling more confused and overwhelmed than when I started. Joseph was going to be the last lawyer I spoke to Because of how disheartened I was. He took the time to listen to a full and honest synopsis of my situation, even though I Was a little bit delirious, and then clearly walked me through realistic best case and worst case scenarios regarding custody, child support, and related issues. What mattered most to me was not the specific numbers or outcomes, but the clarity he provided. For the first time, I understood what my situation could actually look like and how the system would reasonably view certain requests or concerns. When I walked into his office, I was mentally exhausted and emotionally scattered. He was patient, calm, and grounded. That meeting was the first moment of real clarity I had experienced after weeks of feeling like I was being punched in the dark. He helped me see that, while my situation was serious, I was not completely powerless. Joseph also gave thoughtful and practical guidance beyond legal mechanics. He encouraged therapy and personal stability so I could be mentally present for my children. He spoke with honesty and realism, but also with empathy and hope. If you are a reasonable person who is willing to listen and take advice during an incredibly difficult time, he has the ability to bring order and perspective to chaos. From the moment I stepped into his office, I finally had a foundation. I understood what to expect, how to think clearly, and how to move forward. Thankfully, my wife and I did not end up divorcing. I sincerely hope that anyone who walks into his office is able to save their marriage. Regardless of the outcome, I can confidently say that Joseph Scott can help you regain mental clarity and confidence and remind you that your life is not over. I cannot recommend him enough.
Aaron, thank you so much for the kind words! We are so thrilled that you didn’t need our services! I often think I’m annoying folks when I ask “do you have any more questions?” a million times during a meeting, but this ensures I’m going to keep doing it. Your words truly made my week. <br><br>We say this all the time, but it’s true: we hope you never need our services, but if you do, we would be honored to help you out again!
I highly recommend Joseph Scott Law. Joseph helped me with a court date and traffic ticket that I was very anxious about. Very pleasant to talk to and thankful for his help.
Candace, thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy that we were able to alleviate your anxieties about this situation, court can be very scary! Thank you and please keep us in mind if you ever need us in the future (hopefully you won't!)
Great guy awesome lawyer highly recommend. He helped me with joint custody case and won. Even when there were complications he still stayed by my side and seen the case thru to the end. Thank you team Joseph Scott!!
Gershon! We really appreciate your kind words. We hope you never need our services in the future, but if you do we will be ready to help!
I’ve utilized this lawyer once so far. He was quick, thorough, receptive, and he got the job done for me. His team, Jaqueline the lady I spoke to via phone- was amazing with communication and following up with me. I had a great experience and I appreciate them so much. I will continue recommending them!
If you are looking for justice, go elsewhere...this guy blocked me at the door with the "Time is money" and "make an appointment so I can get paid"comment instead of giving me a few minutes of his free time to help a person in need. Shows where his heart and loyalties lie. May God bless you Joseph with more human compassion towards the poor and needy. Lord have mercy on this mans soul. Luke 11:52, Eccleslesiastes 5:8
Sir, you walked into my office - very clearly high and reeking of urine - without an appointment and demanded a consultation. You did not ask me whether I was free to speak with you. I do not meet with clients or potential clients if they are under the influence, so we wouldn't have been able to meet with you that day regardless of my availability. <br><br>Additionally, you did not give me any information as to what the consultation would be about. I often do research into cases before meeting with potential clients, which is why I require my consultations to be scheduled. <br><br>I take deep offense to your comment about my treatment of our community members. My office has always gone out of our way to assist those in need. We donate thousands of dollars of free legal services to the community every year. The fact that you did not have your demands met when you showed up unannounced at my office does not change our commitment to the Springfield community.<br><br>I pray I never have the displeasure of you at my doorstep ever again. Thank you for the input, though!
Answered all of my questions about a potential case, helped me understand what options I have as well moving forward. Nice to feel heard and seen and shown actionable steps. Thanks for your help Joseph and team!
I am so disappointed. May of 2024 I came to Joseph with an issue regarding my son and an elementary school principal who had injured him by dragging him across the floor. The administration and school police buried it as fast as they could. His injury resulted in the need for medical attention. I even had other school staff members willing to stand up and share conversations that were had regarding this, since the principal himself admitted to them he lost his patience. Joseph gave me hope that there could be some sort of justice in what happened. A demand (or settlement?) letter was sent and rejected. After this last summer I reached out looking for an update, as the last I was told we were pursuing it in court. I never received the decency of a phone call back, but I received a letter. The letter stated the school was slow at responding and that he(Joseph) didn't have the time to pursue it. The letter also stated he could send out a demand letter as a last try. So. He either doesnt remember already sending one, or perhaps he never did. He ended it with stating he still thought I had a case and recommended other lawyers. So over a year later I have to start over thanks to him. His kindness and determination over this case appears to be nothing more then a fake front since he can just discard my case by sending a letter over a year later. It honestly appears he just forgot about it and decided not to do it since months passed without a word. Don't waste your time. Thanks Joseph Scott for wasting my time regarding this matter!!
Joseph Scott helped me through a difficult divorce and guardianship case, and I can’t recommend him enough. He showed real compassion for all of my children—whether still at home or already grown—and always considered how the process would affect them. He gave clear advice, knew the court system inside and out, and was great about working with me to keep costs down. He even set up a fair payment plan, which made things so much easier. Truly a kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable attorney.
Joseph was incredibly helpful in my divorce case! He helped make what could have been a painful process so much easier. I always understood exactly what was going on, he explained things in a way that wasn’t a bunch of legal jargon, and I always felt in the loop on when important dates were happening. He and his team were easy to get ahold of for questions and their portal made sending and receiving documents so easy. Joseph was kind but gritty when needed. I ended up very happy with how my case was settled; it was fast, painless, and I felt like the resolution was fair. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for an attorney!
Very prompt positive friendly ,office staff just aon inquiring for services
He is by far the most outstanding and humble lawyer I’ve ever had to work with. I didn’t know what I was doing when I filed for my divorce, but he was there with me every step of the way to guide me and advise me on what steps to take and offer any feedback necessary or relevant to my situation. I am so grateful for his work that he has done and for the communication his office and himself has been prompt and responsive. As a client I highly recommend and encourage anyone needing services to seek him out.
My case was a success thanks to Mr Scott’s wonderful counsel. His office and team worked well around my daughter- who has special needs- during meetings. So thankful that they are family friendly, courteous, professional, and so welcoming. Definitely recommend this office!
Amazing attorney on top of everything. I hired him for my son speeding ticket. He had it resolved within a couple days. He's awesome. He's on top of it. He's honest.I would recommend him to anybody any day
My experience with Joseph was great. He always had an answer for me, even for the smallest questions, and was always quick to answer them. Not only was he professional, but overall a very kind person that cares about his clients and takes his work seriously and isn't just about the money. His prices were reasonable, especially for the insane amount of work on my case and his paralegal Madison is amazing. Madison really knows how to make people feel welcome and validated but is also quick to get things done and return calls. They fought hard and long for me (my stuff took years) and never once did I feel like I wasn't a priority. I'm not very educated in how the law works, and they never once made me feel stupid for asking questions that may be common sense to others and showed a great amount of patience and compassion for my situation and me as a whole person. Joseph took the time to explain things and give me reassurance that things were going to be okay. I really felt listened to and respected and the fears and concerns I had were taken seriously and addressed. The services I received was nothing short of exceptional. If I ever need any other legal assistance, this is the place I'll be going. Thank you Joseph and Madison!
Please do not use Mr. Scott I had to use his services last year (2023) for something that I thought I would never had happen he was rude, talked aggressively when you asked for a question, and I ended up termainting him because of what he said (I’ll do the best I can)??? I hired you for a reason sir and that’s not the reason. His confindence is mediocre at best. I gave him extra money for service I thought he would provide but didn’t, again stay away from Jopesh Scott!
