About J. Scott Logan

A lifelong resident of Maine, Scott grew up in Kennebunk, where he graduated from Kennebunk High School. Scott went on to attend Bowdoin College in Brunswick, where he met his wife, Carrie McGilvery, a Yarmouth native. Scott graduated from Bowdoin summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. He briefly pursued a career in the antique auction industry, at Christies in New York and Skinner in Boston, before attending Boston College Law School. There, he was a writer for the Uniform Commercial Code Reporter Digest.

After law school, Scott returned to Maine, where he has practiced exclusively in the fields of consumer and small business bankruptcy and consumer law, first at a small law firm in Saco, and later in Auburn. In his spare time, Scott enjoys antiquing, collecting old bottles, and running. He resides in a circa 1815 farmhouse in Portland with his wife and new son, Selwyn.

Very respectful and responsive. He never failed to return my calls or messages. And when my case became more complicated than he could handle himself as a smaller law firm he gladly referred me to other attorneys with greater capacity and refunded the unused portion of my retainer.

Cant say enough good things about Scott and his team. Scott always answers emails and is very knowledgable in all things related to bankruptcy law. His pricing is more than reasonable. What I was most impressed about him was how available he was. He responded to emails late nights and on weekends, and was always working on my behalf getting through the toughest 5 years of my life. I owe him a lot.

J Scott Logan is an EXCEPTIONAL Bankruptcy lawyer; he is caring, compassionate, dedicated and devoted to helping his clients turn their lives around. I know because he helped me turn my life around and truly "gave me back my financial life," and I will be forever grateful to him, and his incredible administrative assistant, Adrianna, for that! Scott is a consummate professional, who helped to keep me informed every step of the way, and I highly recommend him to others!

I had a one hour meeting with Scott 2 days ago, and he gave me more useful information than all others combined. His style is modest, belying a superior intellectual capacity. I have spent tens of thousands on lawyers, most of it wasted. The really good ones don't spend all their time telling you how great they are, or how low you are in comparison. The are your ally. Scott is a compassionate man and a damn good attorney. Out of the 30 or so lawyers I have hired, he is one of the best.

This guy is a joke he tries to have you say things you never say and then tries to have you say things like you signed something you never signed I think he works with the other attorney and give them a cut stay a way from this guy and find a good attorney that will do his job.

I try not to go out of my way to leave scathing reviews, but once in a great while, it's warranted. Dealing with Scott Logan as my Ch. 13 bankruptcy lawyer was less pleasant than eating glass and chasing it with gasoline. He is the most condescending and passive/aggressive person I've ever encountered in any professional relationship. Not once not twice, not even three times - but consistently over the course of three years in bankruptcy. It felt like he was working against me rather than for me. Of course, he got paid handsomely when I bought out my bankruptcy, which I did in large part so I wouldn't have to deal with him again. Because I guarantee that's all he cares about! Folks, do yourselves a favor and stay far, far away from Mr. Logan. Your sanity will thank you.
