Extremely professional and has an unrivaled ability to consider every vantage point in a case.

Mr Powell is extremely professional and has an unrivaled ability to consider every vantage point in a case. He represented a family member after a car accident and gave the case personalized attention. The big volume firms on TV settle en masse functioning more like claims adjusters. I would highly recommend Mr. Powell if you want a trustworthy attorney with experience.

Went above and beyond

From the very first phone call to Scott through the entire process I was nothing but pleased at the professionalism, courtesy and prompt return calls. Abby his assistant (not sure of her title) was also very fast at returning calls, helping with expediting my lost wages paperwork. She was always very polite and professional. It was a breath of fresh air to deal with professionals who truly cared about my case and went above and beyond to make sure my case was resolved quickly and returned a better outcome than I imagined. Thank you Scott & Abby!!!!

There are no words to convey how strongly I advocate for this humble and incredibly capable attorney.

I had been massively damaged by doctor error during a surgical procedure, which required another surgery and then even a third. This communicative, interested and smiling face took all my data, sympathized greatly and eventually pursued the case. I am now just out of the resolution of an award in my favor, 3 years down the pike, something which I only dreamed might be possible. He kept me posted rigorously and I never felt out of the loop at any time, between he and what became co-counsels. He has been really magnificent. There are no words to convey how strongly I advocate for this humble and incredibly capable attorney. I would recommend him to anyone.

I would recommend anyone to keep him handy.

I contacted Scott & his team after a motor vehicle accident I had in Kentucky in 2016 - well after I had moved to California. The other insurance company had provided a pitiful "pain and suffering" payment based on 1 day missed of work - discounting months of chiropractic work and PT, impacting me into 2018. I reached out to Scott based on positive reviews, and he was a fantastic support during our initial consultation, follow up conversations, and via email. I found he and his team were responsive as though I were down the road. Ultimately, we settled happily. While I hope I don't need to retain his services again (and don't anticipate I'll need to from California) I would recommend anyone local to keep him handy.
