I retained Ron to handle my divorce, custody, Equitible distribution and child custody case. The defendant in my case was extremely difficult to work with and Ron (in mediation) was able to broker a fair deal for me. Case did not go to trial. Highly recommend Ron.

Attorney Scott, Did not help my case, just asked for money. Had to switch to different attorney, Who resolved the case in month. The only thing he did was continue the case with agreement of opposing counsel. I would not recommend his office.

This is not how legal representation should feel. I began this process hoping I had someone in my corner. Instead, I was left with costly outcomes, limited time with my children, and deep regret for trusting this firm. I do not recommend the Law Offices of Ron Scott to anyone looking for reliable, responsive, or effective representation. After speaking with others, I was informed this was not a one-time occurrence. For more detail about my experience you can look up my Google review

Ron Scott at 290 Commerce Ave, Southern Pines, NC 28387 stole money from me. 1800 dollars. Don't use this guy. He's pictured below. He has an extra-marital relationship with the moore county nc legal aid lawyer. Her name escapes me. He's 3 feet tall. Look at your shoes when looking for Ron. 2

Worst experience ever. Attorney Scott does not communicate in any sort of timely manner with his clients nor does the office in general. Time and time again, I’d call, email and even flat out show up to the office just to get any type of update about my case at all. Even then, I would be pushed off, ignored and only responded to weeks or sometimes a month or two after initially contacting/asking important questions. Attorney Scott was sending documentation and requests for things to the other parties attorney without consulting me and was asking for things we had never even discussed without any explanation to me whatsoever. I literally mean zero communication. Attorney Scott got irate once I told him to only do what I was asking for. After the divorce was final, his office strung me along and refused to help me file any necessary documents even though he had agreed to do so in the beginning. They did this purposely & It caused significant loss!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND EVER!!!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
