Hired Law Firm
We are so glad we hired Scott at Scott D. Pollock & Associates for the adjustment of my status around a year ago. Scott and his legal assistant (Ms. Linda) were very professional, knowledgeable and detail oriented. They were quick to respond to our emails with clear answers to our questions and concerns. Scott has a passion for his work and is always up to date with immigration and world affairs. We are very satisfied with the outcome and we highly recommend Scott and his team to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer.
Scott and his team are very professional and knowledgeable; they helped my husband and me to finally be together! Scott is a great person, he treats you with kindness and sympathy, not just like a "client". We totally recommend his services.
Mr. Pollock assisted my immigrant partner (now spouse) for 15-plus years through complex processes of obtaining his H-1 Visa, Employment Certification, and permanent residency, helping us obtain a successful outcome to our Marriage petition and Green Card 2015. We took his Adjustment Petition as far as the BIA, and Mr. Pollock's arguments were well reasoned and clear based on the law. He and legal assistant Maria Hernandez are eminently qualified and thorough.
Scott Pollock and his team helped me with my DACA application. They answered all my questions promptly and kept me posted on any changes to my case. Because my application was approved, I'm able to have a drivers license and I have a work permit. My family and I are very grateful and would not hesitate to recommend Scott Pollock and his knowledgeable team.
I am very happy to have met Scott D. Pollock. He and his team are extremely efficient, responsible, and supportive. He made the green card application process very easy, told me what forms needed to be filled and submitted, and removed a lot of stress off my shoulders. The experience and knowledge of Scott really shows. He is professional, honest, and very respected among his peers. I totally recommend Scott D. Pollock and Associates.
I was referred to attorney Mr.Scott Pollock by my friend. Mr.Pollock on first visit explain all procedures and how is going to help me. He was very knowledgeable,and professional and honest. I was constantly notify about my case. Thanks to him my big problem was solved and I got my green card in 9 month. I highly recommend attorney Mr. Scott Pollock for any legal problem. THANK YOU MR.POLLOCK!
Scott Pollock has been wonderful to work with in a very difficult case. My adjustment of status was denied. Scott had the case reopened and with his competent representation, contacts and knowledge of the applicable laws, I had no worries leaving the country to get my green card at the US embassy overseas and adjust my status when I entered the US again.
Scott Pollock assisted me in completing an application. I found Scott and his staff to be very thorough and attentive to my case. This was especially important in my case as there were issues that needed to be adequately explained. Scott was recommended to me in glowing terms from his previous work for various individuals and institutions. Scott’s work on my case was a very positive experience. I am glad to say that I can now firmly echo that recommendation to others.
Scott Pollock and his firm represented me for 11 years during my immigration journey to become a Naturalized US Citizen. I found Mr. Pollock and Ms. Hernandez to be caring professionals who looked out for my success. They were very thorough handling the paper work and keep me informed during every step of the process. I would recommend Mr. Pollock and his firm to represent you in navigating through the immigration process.
Scott has been a shiny light in my life after my initial consultation. I interviewed more than 10 recommended attorneys and finally went with Scott. I was EXTREMELY happy with Scott and very glad I picked him two years ago! This is one of the smartest decisions I have ever made in my life! I had a storm of catastrophic lawyers I had previously consulted. Even though my case was very complicated, Scott took care of everything and was terrific in boiling down smallest details.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
