I was referred to Scott Dover by a lawyer who doesn’t practice family law herself but who wanted me to be represented by the best possible attorney. I was told by a retired judge that I had chosen one of the very best attorneys. The fact that Scott is held in such high esteem by others in his profession speaks volumes. Scott is so intelligent, organized, and focused that he did not waste my time (money). I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. The man is competent; I had peace of mind.

R.Scott Dover harmed my case and chose to help the opposing side although I paid him $6400 up front in cash. He told to me that I did not have the money to beat the opponent. Although the opponent was a criminal and harmed my child and myself. Dover devastated my life definitely and I will never be able to forget all that he done. I hold proof of all that I state against him. So as I am very aware that some people have wonderful outcomes; I did not receive any representation that I hired him to do. Be extremely careful hiring this attorney; if you’re in court against someone that can write him a check for far more than you could pay to him!!
