Few people want to be in a situation requiring an attorney. I certainly didn't. But if you find yourself in such a position, you couldn't find a better advocate than Attorney Scott A. Livingston. Knowledgeable, experienced, accessible, well-regarded, ethical, tough, intelligent - I could go on but you get the idea. Attorney Livingston is the real deal. If you value having a fighter in your corner who knows his stuff and will always speak straight, Scott's the attorney you want.

Fortunately or unfortunately I have had to use attorneys the majority of my lifetime. I have always used the top rated and most prestigious firms when possible. Scott was both for me. Case took about 10 months; but he avoided a long drawn out trial and saved me in legal fees. We went up against a large institution (signed a confidentiality agreement) and we won. I highly recommend Scott and the firm for any legal matter. I needed a top litigator in Central Florida and Scott Livingston was the attorney highly recommended by two other law firms for my matter. I am grateful for his professionalism and expertise in my matter. I highly recommend Scott Livingston.

Looking at my case from the outside it seemed like I was SOL. Though I knew I could win this case, most lawyers were telling me otherwise. I was super grateful to get a lawyer as great and personable as Mr Livingston. There’s not one thing I could complain about.

Ellen: Thank you for your incredible words. I know there was a mistake on the rating (which you wanted to match your words). I have reached out to Martindale to see if there is some way to correct it and will let you know.

Scott is a extremely qualified and knowable attorney. We took a very personal interest in my cases. Not only do I consider him a top notch attorney but a friend as well. Would never use anyone but Scott for any and all of my legal needs.

Scott did a remarkably good job on my case. As with most good attorneys he listened very well. He always seemed to know the right questions to ask. He knew where and when to apply just the right amount of pressure. He helped settle a case in less than six months from the time I filed the complaint. I anticipated having this case stretch out 18-24 months. Scott saved me time, money, and emotional capital. I highly recommend him.

We hired Scott to represent our business as we moved forward in a multi million dollar building contract. Scott’s knowledge, responsiveness and tact moved us forward in the construction process. Unfortunately during the process we were presented with a lawsuit from the contractor and moved into further representation. Scott’s assistance throughout the entire process was exceptional as he assisted us through the settlement. We will continue to use Scott as our Attorney as our business continues to grow and we move towards our dream. I would highly recommend his legal services.

Attorneys are seldom met under pleasant circumstances, and my occasion to meet Scott Livingston was no different. I was beset upon by a federal lawsuit filed by a plaintiff who was particularly unpleasant to deal with. It was definitely a case that was outside the norm. Scott met the challenge head on and remained flexible to the constantly changing circumstances we encountered as the lawsuit progressed. He listened to and respected my contributions to the proceedings, and never once did I find him to be condescending in my conversations with him. Scott worked with me on every level and on every aspect of the case, such that I was made to feel like a partner rather than like a mere bystander. I heartily recommend him. I not only found an attorney in Scott Livingston, I found an advocate .

It is true that my first meeting with a client tends to be at a particularly low moment in their life. Few people want to find themselves with legal struggles, needing the help of counsel. I am gratified how many people have trusted me in those moments.
