Hired Attorney Scott Grabel

I never met Mr.Grabel, met with Winnie Rich on a Sunday. She was very likable and said what was needed for me to hire. Robert Hackett was given the case in St. Joe County. I have to say Bob took more than his far share of grief as I can be a tad excitable from time to time. I wasn't given much more info than the standard "It's a process" I was very happy with end results,case dismissed bond refunded. The wheels of justice though they be slow thanks to Bob's patients and knowledge all is well. ty

Hired Attorney Scott Grabel

Appellate law has an extremely high percentage of failure however Mr. Grabel and his office did not provide the quality of service he both advertised and guaranteed verbally. Like all lawyers, Mr. Grabel has an excellent grasp of the English language and enjoys the sound of his own voice. He is quick to respond to both phone and email however I believe he spends more time talking than working as evidenced by my case where work was not done, including missing a court appearance.

Hired Attorney Scott Grabel

Horrific experience. I'll regret hiring Grabel & Associates for the rest of my life. I emailed the defense attorney about mitigating circumstances, and he wrote back that it's a terrible idea. Scott Grabel is not a man of his word. Grabel & Associates reviews often read like they are written by the same person. Then, if you look ar Avvo and other reviews, people rave about Scott Grabel, even though they discuss a different attorney! Then, when you look for reviews about certain attorneys they barely have any, with one attorney having none whatsoever!

Email me at brian61473@yahoo.com to discuss why I would give this attorney a negative star rating and why i wouldn’t recommend him to my worst enemy. I’m just warning the public about this attorney so they don’t make the same mistake of hiring him like I did
