Mr. Wantland is straightforward & gets to the point. Very nice, compassionate & thoughtful. Handled my case quickly! Thank you! *****
Scott helped me through a difficult divorce process. I appreciated his direct approach during a stressful and complicated time. He explained what was happening, answered my questions, and helped me make informed decisions. I felt like Scott paid attention to the details and looked out for my interests. I highly recommend him!
Thanks for trusting us with the hard stuff. We always appreciate people taking the time to share their positive experiences.
Scott Wantland is very dedicated to his clients. He won't sugarcoat anything, tells you like it is. Advises you with good sound legal advice. I trust he has my best interest in mind at all times. I would and have recommended him to others.
Five stars is honestly not enough. If I could give bonus stars for patience, kindness, and the ability to explain legal things to a person whose brain was occasionally running on caffeine and stress, I would. From day one, this office, especially Kaitlyn, made me feel heard, supported, and like I was in very capable hands. They answered my million questions (and probably a few I repeated because I was stressed), kept me informed, and somehow managed to make a complicated process feel much less intimidating. What stood out most was how genuinely caring everyone was. They didn’t just see a case file — they saw people. That kind of compassion is rare, and it meant more than they probably realize. If you need an attorney’s office that knows their stuff, treats you like a real person, and can handle your nervous questions with grace and a smile, this is the place. I’m incredibly thankful for everything they did and would recommend them without hesitation.
We’re proud to get you the best results and share in your bug day. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
Wantland helped me through a court case and were incredibly helpful and understanding throughout the entire process. They provided clear explanations, kept me informed of every step, and made sure I understood what was happening along the way. When circumstances changed, they were flexible and worked with me to navigate the situation. I truly appreciated their support and professionalism and would recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Feedback like this reflects our care, effort, professionalism we put into the practice. Thank YOU.
This attorney is horrible. He takes on way too many clients for his caseload! I gave him $1500 and I’ve never spoke to him on the phone one time! He appeared for me one time for about one minute to get me another court date to show up Later, and not submit a single piece of more than 396 articles of evidence! The following court date he no showed, Without explanation, without an email, without a phone call, without withdrawing from my case, Without his staff contacting me! He left me High and dry on my court date, He also had a conflict of interest with opposing counsel and failed to mention that to me, MONICA SHAHAYDA, Represented my ex and also started her law career in Scott’s firm! They’re even pictured together on Facebook. I’ve already got the screenshot so you can go delete it if you want! This guy is nothing more than a good ol boy Lining his pocket pockets, And doing bare minimum, if anything for his clients! Every time I’ve seen him in court, the judge has to get onto him about his demeanor, attitude, being late, etc. And I’ve got the proof on video under open records from the clerks office! I also filed a complaint with the Bar on this guy! This guy decides who he is a good lawyer for, and whose money he just takes! If you retain this Lawyer, make sure your case doesn’t fall under a conflict of interest! I have got all the emails, reaching out to his office, Begging for phone calls and follow ups!! All to be ghosted!! I fired this guy during court with Judge Spainhour on the record!
Unfortunately, not every case turns out with a positive result. Sometimes, 396 pieces of evidence cannot contradict one really bad piece of evidence. We appeared for your hearing and presented the defense you directed. We've represented thousands of clients. Sorry you're not among the vast majority that got the best result possible.
If I could leave negative stars I would I used him on a divorce that lasted close to a year. Only got to talk to him once in that time and he really didn’t remember a lot of what we even talked about when we went to court . I told him that I wanted an appraisal on the house and never got it. Anytime I’d ask him a question he would respond with a smartass remark. I’m pretty sure he was paid by the other attorney to sell me down the river. After paying him over $6000 and me just getting completely screwed over I would highly avoid using him.
As you’re posting anonymously, we can only assume you don’t want us to be able to identify you. Most often the people who complain in this manner do so because the truth is inconsistent with their public remarks. One way to avoid accountability is to post anonymously. Notably, we don’t sell appraisals. If you had wanted an appraisal, presumably you could have purchased one (from an appraiser). Because we can’t look up your case details (thanks, “Blue Moon”) it’s hard for us to meaningfully respond to your complaints about the lack of an appraisal. It’s also hard for us to accept that in “close to a year” you couldn’t communicate with us but once. We have full-time office staff that answers the phone 9-6. We accept communications 24-7 via email, our web contact form, and our online client portal. Perhaps any lack of communication is because you chose to ignore your case until it was time to go to court? Finally, your assertion we were paid off by opposing counsel is preposterous. Even not knowing who you are, we are comfortable saying we didn’t accept payola from opposing counsel - ever. Not every divorce goes like it is supposed to. Sometimes clients make poor choices that have consequences. Sometimes the facts of a case don’t justify the client getting the (unrealistic) desired result. Sometimes, people just have to blame anyone but themselves for how life has turned out. Not every review is fair. Sometimes reviews come from people we beat in court. Sometimes reviews come from our competitors. Without your real name, it’s unfair to expect us to meaningfully respond to your allegations.
Scott was amazing to work with on the adult adoption of my daughter. He was extremely professional and his staff was unbelievable in assisting my family. Thank you Scott for being such a huge part of our special day.
Thanks for taking the time to share the good news. We're proud that you chose us to help your family. Happy stories are the best days at the office!
Best divorce lawyer in Bullitt County, highly recommend
Thank you so much! We appreciate clients like you!
Scott WAS great .IF you can reach or contact any one in the office .My insurance was billed 2x for the same DVO case .when the no contact was broken and I reached out his response was “we are just not available to handle this at this time .Dont waste your time or money . If you want results or safety go elsewhere.
Our duty of representation had previously ended when you called. We are not under any obligation to provide additional representation. When we explained we could not take on your case at this time, you decided to retaliate with a public 1-star review and a dramatic warning for others to “go elsewhere.” That’s not a review. That’s a tantrum because a busy attorney wouldn’t drop everything to accommodate you on your schedule. We answered your inquiry politely and promptly; your response was to try to damage a small business because you didn’t get your way instantly. Previously we billed your legal insurance twice- first when we won your case the first time and the second when you requested changes. In no way have we been compensated to take your new matter. Suggesting we did something improper is just malicious and misleading. We’re a law firm, not an Uber Eats driver waiting for your 5-star rating. We have existing clients, court deadlines, and other pressing matters to handle. If immediate, 24/7 availability is what you want (unrealistic), you need to go somewhere else.
