Douglas C. Scovil

I was told that Douglas Scovil could assist me in my case. I was to speak with him, it was confirmed there was no conflicting issues, and then I was called back by his receptionist a few hrs later that "he doesn't want to get involved" I understand lawyers have a right to decline cases but I was left with no explanation or understanding as to why he wouldn't represent me. I do not recommend this law office. You may be met with prejudice!

This man just literally saved my boyfriend's livelihood ... he was facing a DUI in Illinois (has a previous somewhat lengthy record in both Iowa and Illinois) and got him off of it. He is an amazing lawyer, I can't believe he had a 3.8 google review on here...he is worth his weight in salt. Sending flowers to his office next!

If zero stars were an option that is what this attorney would have obtained. The lack of care within the judicial practice is absolutely appalling. We had a scheduled consultation where he was late. I then proceeded to call the office and waited for his returned phone call. When we were finally in contact he asked what this was in regards to. I presented what the situation was pertaining to in detail. He then proceeded to ask "what is this in regards to again," I stated "I legitimately just told you what this was for." He then proceeds to say, "I'm good." Would never recommend anyone to go to someone who displays unprofessional behavior and lack of obvious care.

He is very knowledgable and respected in the court system. He takes the time to answer your questions or concerns. It can be frustrating to get all points across over the phone along with making sure he has all documents to be discussed in front of him. At some point we thought he is not fully getting our concerns and thoughts on case and then during deposition he knew exactly what to say and when to say it. He does his research on your case and will nail it when time comes. If he thinks a issue is not worth bringing up in court he is straight forward and suggest not to . He is about being fair. Front desk receptionist was kind and professional. Would recommend this attorney in custody cases. Some may think he is abrasive and rude..he is an attorney. You want him to be in court if he needs to be.

Very professional and effective family attorney. Hands down the best and most experienced family attorney in the area, bar none. Extremely knowledgeable, very serious, highly respected by judges, and exceeded all expectations by a mile. I am a father who fought in a mommy state and won by a mile. 10/10 money well spent
