Working with Ron Scott has been the easiest process. He has made the legal process as least stressful as possible being compassionate and determined to help me get everything I thought I deserved. His knowledge and the teams communication through this process is impressive! This isn’t the first time I’ve had him on my side in legal matters and definitely won’t be the last! Thanks Ron Scott and the team there for easing my mind and helping me through my case!

I had an emergency custody issue and immediately called Ron Scott. Him and his entire staff are amazing. They are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and are always willing to answer any question you may have. I honestly will never hire another attorney, because if Ron Scott can't do it it cannot be done. He actually went above and beyond expectation to help me help my children. You will not regret having this attorney on your side.

I needed to find a lawyer quickly for a child support case. After the consultation, I knew Ron Scott was the right one. He's extremely knowledgeable, and can explain complex legal processes to the point where you understand what you're choices are. He's also willing to explore every legal avenue to make sure you have all the information infront of you, and that you can get the best possible outcome based on your situation. I will happily recommend him to others searching for a lawyer for child support / custody.

FATHERS.....PLEASE READ.......This was a very stressful situation for me as I have never experienced anything like this before. This was the most important battle of my entire life....it was for permanent custody of my daughter and as a single father I felt like there was no hope but I still had to try. I presented Ron with the facts of the case and he took it from there. Extremely knowledgeable and professional! I write this review in the hopes that other fathers out there who feel like the legal system is against them will read this and gain a sense of hope. Ron stuck by side until the very end...and in the end....we won and I obtained custody of my daughter. I cannot thank Ron as well as his entire staff enough!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

As a female officer in the military I felt I was in a terrible position to divorce my stay-at-home spouse. My children were my top priority at all times, and I worried my career put me at a disadvantage. I chose Ron Scott because of his military background. What I lucked on truly was a lawyer who is incredible in trial. He will fight for you and his skills as a lawyer in the courtroom are invaluable. You want a lawyer that has your best interest at heart and isn’t afraid of the courtroom.. I give Ron Scott accolades for that! T

Working with Ron Scott was a life changing experience!!! He was determined to see the truth about my case. I have viewed other lawyers, but I did not feel that my case would be in good hands. Ron Scott took it above and beyond. He was efficient and direct to the point on what needed to be done. We WON my case and I’m forever thankful for how he helped me with my child custody case. FOREVER GRATEFUL!!

My son's mother kept him hidden from me for almost a month. I contacted Mr Scott and explained my situation and the concern I had for the environment he was in. Within a week and a half he got me emergency temporary custody of my son. I was very nervous and on edge about the situation, but Mr Scott came in and got more than I expected quickly and efficiently. This is just the beginning but I feel confident moving forward with him by my side. Thank you Ron Scott and all the nice ladies in the office who helped on my case.

Ron Scott is very professional and stayed on top of my son's custody case, the mother wanted my son to have no rights to his daughter and pay child support, all health and dental care and anything else the child needed, with no rights to see her and pay for her lawyer. Mr. Scott handled this case and my son now has secondary custody and pays child support and none of her lawyer cost. This was the best thing for my grandchild, to have both parents active in her life, if it wasn't for Ron Scott my son would not see his child because she was keeping the child away from him and not allowing him to see her because there relationship didn't work out. Ron Scott to me stands for what is right and fair for the child. I am so thankful for his hard work and my son is also. If you are a young man working and trying to do your best by your child and the mother is making it difficult, Ron Scott is the Lawyer you need. Ron Scott is a blessing for our family and all the ladies in his office also

I cannot speak higher of Mr. Scott and his firm. He is hands down the best attorney that I have ever had the pleasure of working with, not only did he have my best interest in mind but also my family. He is not only an amazing attorney but also an amazing human being. I would recommend him to anyone going through any struggle that arises in their life! 5 stars doesn’t justify how great of an attorney/person that he is. He will have your best interests in mind.

He is professional, educated, and respectful, he provides the most professional legal services in the counties he practices in. I now have sole custody of my son and I could not be more grateful for Mr. Scott.

To be honest when I first hired Mr. Scott it was because he was a prior JAG in the Navy and when my separation and divorce started I was still Active Duty Navy. Mr. Scott helped me professionally navigate the beginning stages of this process that started off in two states with two houses, three children (including custody), multiple 401Ks, TSP, retirement pension in the mix. Through our meetings we successfully managed all the aspects of my case. I ended up with the custody I wanted, retained 100% of my pension and TSP. Every case is different, so please understand that. He always answered my questions and got back to me when he could with answers. Additionally, Kim, Holli, and HoYoung, his office staff of paralegals and assistants are nothing short of phenomenal. Thank you Mr. Scott, Kim, Holli, and HoYoung for all your help, assistance, understanding while helping me navigate this chapter in my life.

I can not express my gratitude for Mr. Scott. As an active duty Soldier I was terrified of loosing my children. Mr. Scott was patient. He instilled in me the confidence that primary custody was possible. His work ethic and devotion to my case was truly exceptional. He spent 5 hours in his office on a Saturday with me doing trial prep. If you are a dad and worried that you don't have a chance in court; give Mr. Scott a call. What he did for me and my children is beyond words. Thank you Mr. Scott.

He ALWAYS made me feel like he had me & my children’s best interest at heart. He delivered on EVERYTHING we discussed during my consultation. Any questions I had, he & his team were there to answer. He handled my case with compassion & understanding. I can’t thank Ron enough for helping me during one of the most difficult times I’ve had to go through. I hope I won’t, but if I ever needed a lawyer again, I wouldn’t hesitate to call the Law Offices of Ron Scott!!

He always made time to speak with us when we had questions or concerns and addressed them in a way that made us feel valued and heard, and not like “just another client”. Everything worked out in the best possible way for us, and we owe it all to him. Highly recommend!

Throughout the entire legal process I felt protected, and that's what I needed the most while going through a divorce as a young woman. I would recommend Mr. Scott to anyone in need of legal services, and especially to anyone who is nervous or scared about starting a legal process. He made sure I understood everything that was going on, and I walked away with everything I needed. I greatly appreciate how he handled my case.

I was in need of representation for a divorce in the county I lived in , thankfully Mr Scott is licensed to practice in several counties. After my consultation I had no hesitation at all in hiring this firm. His office staff was very attentive and always responded to any questions and or concerns I had. When it came to the mediation to settle all financial concerns Mr Scott was adamant in making sure I got what I deserved out of a 20 plus year marriage and he also informed me of extra measures to take to protect myself in the future financially. The day after the long mediation Mr Scott personally called me to see how I was feeling about the events from the day before and also let me know if I have any questions or concerns to feel free to contact him. He not only got exactly what I was wanting out of the divorce but more ! He truly looks out for your best interest and leaves you content knowing his door is still open for you if need be. As a woman that was a stay at home mom while my spouse worked it was terrifying to think what am I going to do financially now , Mr Scott made me feel at ease throughout the entire process and after. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely hire Mr Scott for my legal issues and you should too! YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED !!!!

When I was looking for a lawyer to represent me my options for my county were very few , thankfully Mr Scott can practice in many different counties and was able to represent me. I can not begin to explain how satisfied I am with his services. My situation was resolved through mediation and Mr Scott stood his ground and wouldn’t settle for anything less than I deserved. He is very thorough, professional and I feel as if I couldn’t have been represented any better by anyone else. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR SCOTT ,!!! You will be very SATISFIED AS AM I!!!

I retained Mr Scott for Termination of Parental Rights, I was seeking to terminate the parental rights of my daughters biological mother so that my wife could legally adopt her. At the initial meeting with Mr Scott, he very clearly and confidently explained to me the process we would have to go through, as well as what we would have to prove to the court. After talking for about 2 hours I decided to hire Mr Scott to pursue this action. Mr Scott and his office were very fast and efficient to begin the process, within a couple of days the initial paperwork was filed. At trial Mr Scott was very organized and very thorough. He presented the facts, exhibits, and arguments in a very clear, concise, and confident manner. The Guardian Ad Litem involved, Mr Brownback, was also very thorough, and presented his findings in a very clear and concise manner, and clearly had the best interests and welfare of my daughter in mind. At the end of the day Mr Scott delivered, and did exactly what he set out to do and won the case. Throughout the whole process Mr Scott and his office were always very quick to respond anytime I had questions or concerns and always kept me aware of what they were doing and what the next step was. Overall I am very happy and impressed with Mr Scott and everyone in his office.

I hired Mr. Scott after my child's father kept him from me for a year, and Mr. Scott went to court and he got me legal/physical custody. I have been reunited with my son. And I couldn't thank Mr. Scott enough for that he went to court and fought as though he was fighting for his own children. He was determined to get my child back home with me and his brother and he didnt leave the courtroom until that happened. No other lawyer has cared more about the children's best interest than ron scott, I would recommend him above any other lawyer. !

He was able to get my ex to admit to multiple things that worked in my favor that he probably would not of admitted to otherwise. He was able expose his lies and show his true character. I was awarded full custody of my 7 and 4 year old with only supervised visitation (he also obtained an emergency order that kept the kids under my supervision while this whole process took place). I was very nervous about filing for custody because of my ex-husbands character and that he likes to boast about all the "people" he knows in the community, including people in the legal system. Mr. Scott put my worries at ease and helped me ensure the safety of my children. He is a very smart and compassionate attorney that knows his way around the justice system and the courtroom. You can tell that he cares about his clients and is not just in this for the money. He also helped me with filing for divorce (there was nothing to contest there, so it was a simple case) and with a speeding ticket. He took care of those two matters seamlessly. I would 100% hire him again and again for any legal matter. A+++++++

First and foremost I would like to say thank you to Attorney Ron Scott and his staff for their excellent service to me during one of the most stressful and difficult times in my life. After my consultation with Mr. Scott, I hired him immediately. The way he listened to my situation, explained all my options and informed me of what he felt we could do, I knew he was the one that I wanted to take on my case. He helped me through the abuse, separation and the start of my divorce. We negotiated and settled out of court with the settlement being in my favor. I received more than I had ever thought possible, being that I was only married for a short time. Mr. Scott made sure that I was taken care of and received what was entitled to me. He was very understanding and always there to answer any questions or concerns I may of had. He gave me his cell number to reassure me that he would be there for me, at any time, and he was. I am now able to continue on with my life with a great sense of hope and relief. I would highly recommend Attorney Ron Scott to anyone looking for an expert and caring attorney to represent them in any case. I will forever be grateful to Mr. Scott and his very professional staff, especially Holly, for all that they did for me.

The divorce could have turned into the typical nasty court room fight, but with Ron's guidance, we settled everything quickly and to my favor.

In 2013, I found myself in need of legal services for the first time in my life. I was very nervous considering the circumstance. When I met with Ron Scott in his office, he put all my fears to rest. He assured me that he could/would handle the situation; which he did. Mr. Scott gave me his personal cell phone number and told me not to hesitate to call him anytime I needed him. In the end, I can honestly say that Mr. Scott handled my case in a very passionate and professional manner. EVERYTHING was resolved and I was able to move forward with my life. Mr. Scott even helped me with an expungement of the matter so that the issue is completely off of my record. I highly recommend Mr. Scott. He is a man of his word!

Ron Scott is the most passionate and caring attorney around. After two previous attorneys, I finally found a man who would take my custody case and take it serious. As a man fighting for 3 children was an uphill battle however, at the end I was awarded physical custody of my children. Ron valued me not as a client but as a father and had legitimate cares for my children. This man is the gold standard for professionalism and communication; all other attorneys should model their practice after Ron

As a military officer going through a divorce, I can tell you that Ron and his team helped me land exactly where I needed to be. I got the exact child custody and pension settlement that I wanted, and his team remained prompt, professional, and personable throughout the whole process. I’m really grateful to this former JAG and seasoned divorce attorney!

Mr. Scott represented me very well. I was ordered to court to pay child support. Mr. Scott made sure my deduction was counted and that I was not paying just any amount after DSS childsupport failed to give me any deduction on my taxes. He made sure my voice was heard. I am a father that is willing to pay child support. If I did not have Attorny Scott, DSS childsupport would have had me paying triple the amount I ended up paying. I recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.

Mr Scott has now represented me on three occasions- divorce, change of jurisdiction and a harassment case setup by my ex husbands new wife. Through the divorce he got me everything I wanted, when it was time to fight for a jurisdiction change when I moved from NC state he was there fighting for me diligently. Lastly, and most recent has been the petty harassment case dismissed within a short period of time, once a again getting me what I wanted and deserved!

We began what seemed like an impossible journey to gain custody of my husband’s son in 2014. Heck, we would have been satisfied with just being allowed to speak with him and see him on school breaks. Unfortunately, the alienation was extreme and the relationship my husband longed for with his son meant that court was the only way. In April of 2016, we had “won” the battle. The judge ordered phone visitations and school breaks. (we live in AZ so every other weekend wasn’t a possibility). Attorney Scott and his entire staff was there for us with the countless questions on the phone, emails to the office and drama that seemed never ending. We were elated. However, the hardest part was not over. The war was coming. The visitations were spotty on the phone and his son didn’t come for school breaks as ordered. And to top it all off, in retaliation for even trying to have a relationship with his son, the child’s mother filed criminal charges against my husband for a bogus charge. We had to retain Attorney Scott to represent us in that case as well. (which was dismissed). After a short 3 months following the initial order of visitation, the child’s mother had to be served with Contempt and then again served with contempt another time before a court date was established. The family court system is so inundated with cases in Fayetteville, NC, that it takes what seems like forever to get in front of a judge. We finally did get in front of a judge again in October 2017. Attorney Scott fought hard to help us and our son. My husband was awarded primary custody with his mom getting visitations only. His son is 14 years old. He had really only known his mother, only briefly visited with us occasionally and had never lived with us. The healing has begun for all of us but more importantly for his son. We can only hope that what has occurred over the past 14 years can not only be reversed but he can progress to be a functioning member of society as an adult. We owe everything to Attorney Scott and his entire family and staff. Without them, I really do not know where we would be or how this would or could have ended. We would recommend them over and over again to anyone that would listen. The dedication and commitment to the child is what is most important in these situations and Attorney Scott fought like he was fighting for family!

Ron Scott did an amazing job with my child custody case! My daughter has been in my care since birth and I wanted to establish primary custody of her on paper. Since my daughters dad signed the birth certificate at birth it made everything a little complicated. I got exactly what I wanted in the end and Ron was attentive and treated my daughter and I as if we were family and truly put me at ease. Please please please if you're searching for the right attorney stop right now and call Ron Scott!

I am a grandparent who lives out of state that had a custody issue arise. I flew to North Carolina and met with Ron Scott. Immediately, I knew I was in the right place. I left his office, called my husband back home and told him "We've found our attorney!" .Ron did not disappoint. After I returned home, Ron and his staff were always easily accessible via telephone and email. He worked aggressively to get our matter dismissed quickly. This is a top notch law firm. Ron Scott delivers results!!!!

My spouse took our 3 children to see family and refused to return to our home of 3 years. After almost 3 grouling months of not getting to see my children, Mr. Scott was able to get them back to their rightful home and to me. The biggest concern of getting the courts of ruling in my favor, in that I am a man in a so often woman's favor world, that the children are best off with their mother as the primary custody holder. Thanks to Ron, he put the odds in my favor. They now live primarily with me

I hired Ron Scott based on another attorney's High recommendation of him. My case was complicated and I needed an expert in both fields of divorce and child custody. Ron took the time to review my case, analyze all the documents and evidence, then came up with a plan that was in the best interest of both myself and my daughter. If you are looking for an Outstanding, Highly motivated and expert in the field of family law, Ron Scott is by far the best in the Pinehurst and Southern Pines area.

Ron Scott is an amazing lawyer. After a long day of searching for a North Carolina lawyer, I retained Ron Scott to represent me in a custody case. I was a bit skeptical at first, but he turned out to be more than legit and really knows what he is doing. Not only did he win my case, he got it to where they let my daughter and I move back home to Illinois. I am more than greatful for Ron and his assistants. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with a custody/divorce case!

I’m legally separated and was in a tough custody battle. I hired Ron Scott and couldn’t be happier with what he’s done so far. I really thought there was no chance to get my son back being a male and active duty military. Because of Ron, I was awarded full custody. I trusted him with my livelihood and he delivered. He showed he was extremely capable, smart, candid, and tough in court. I definitely recommend Ron, especially if in similar situation. He truly worked for me, he brought home my son.

I hired Mr. Scott after several failed attempts in representing myself in a custody battle. One of my best decisions ever. Mr. Scott thoroughly examined my original separation/custody agreement and found gaps that made me vulnerable to future issues. He created a new agreement from scratch. This is something I would not have been able to see on my own. We won my custody case and I ended up getting everything I asked for, plus more. There's no better lawyer who represents fathers than Mr. Scott.

Ron Scott is such an amazing lawyer. With his toughness, skill, and knowledge of the law, he was able to help me regain custody of my son after nearly 8 years! I sought legal counsel in the state of N.C. 3 times and no one was able to fight my case the way Ron did. He was attentive, honest, and proficient when it came to my case and I have no doubt that he treats all of his clients in this manner. I will continue to use his services and I highly recommend his counsel to anyone seeking justice.

Grandparents can get full custody! We had a difficult situation with our 5-year-old grandson and desperately needed to get custody to keep him safe and give him a loving and caring environment. We expected it to be extremely difficult, and while at times it was emotionally challenging, Ron was always positive and determined. He listened carefully and was very compassionate as he led us through all the steps until we were awarded sole legal and physical custody. Ron is highly recommended by us.

To be honest when I first hired Mr. Scott it was because he was a prior JAG in the Navy and when my separation and divorce started I was still Active Duty Navy. Mr. Scott helped me professionally navigate the beginning stages of this process that started off in two states with two houses, three children (including custody), multiple 401Ks, TSP, retirement pension in the mix. Through our meetings we successfully managed all the aspects of my case. I ended up with the custody I wanted, retained 100% of my pension and TSP. Every case is different, so please understand that. He always answered my questions and got back to me when he could with answers. Additionally, Kim, Holli, and HoYoung, his office staff of paralegals and assistants are nothing short of phenomenal. Thank you Mr. Scott, Kim, Holli, and HoYoung for all your help, assistance, understanding while helping me navigate this chapter in my life.

Ron Scott is the lawyer you need and want.. My wife of 20 years chose to establish another family away from my minor children and I. Ron Scott immediately filed for legal separation without the requirement for alimony payments. He gained primary custody of my children for me in our home for their continuity at school and in our community. The equitable distribution of our property and financial assets was more than favorable for me. This divorce was hard; Ron Scott made it easier.
