Hired Attorney S. Scott Burkhalter

Scott was exceptional throughout the entire process of my divorce. From our first meeting until we went to court to finalize things, I felt that he had my best interest at heart and gave my case his full attention. In what should have been a fairly simple and quick divorce, we dealt with the opposing party that wanted to make everything as difficult as possible. Scott handled himself the utmost of respectability, even when dealing with a difficult opposing party.
