WORST Lawyer in the world.DO NOT use him.After 3 years-after he had been paid in full-I asked him a question about an e mail I got from the trustee.-i had written to him many times under my e mail and he responded-over the course of 3 years.this time he wrote back-who is this? I could pay off my car right now but he is not interested in helping me at all.he is al about the Money.so-I am forced to stay in bankruptcy for 7 more months and that means no decent job no decent housing and because of my credit score high insurance premiums and i get to come out of all of this three thousand dollars in debt because of my student loan.
DO NOT use Scott Owens!!

My experience mirrored the other previous review titled "Horrible Communications" on AVVO, except I've had her since 2010. We are now 7 YEARS LATER in a simple open and easily closed case if attorney Lara Owens would have done the things she was hired to do and what the Bar Association expects of attorneys, especially easy compared to the vast majority of cases. Incident 2008, amount was determined in 2009. Owens was hired 2010 and I still have no long term settlement in a case that the amount was pre-determined since before I hired her. Through the past 7 years, I've heard every excuse in the book as to why there are months of gaps in communication, not returning any calls etc. and this latest gap is almost year an a half although I have contacted weekly and sometimes daily. Only times she's ever actually done something was either when she saw $dollar signs, or when I threatened to take her to the Bar Association. Unfortunately bc I cannot reach her, or her assistant at main #, discipline has become necessary and only option at this point. I did not want to go to the KS Bar Association, but other attorneys cannot help me until the Bar Association disciplines and they highly revommended I do that bc this is inexcusable behavior. To go months without returning calls, messages, emails was very common. Now we are nearing a year and half with no such communication.
Yes, Lara, I know when you read this, you'll know who this is. I regret not actually doing something sooner. I'm posting this because I hope no one else has to go through what I've had to go through and the stress you have caused me, amongst a list of other negative things.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL IN CHOOSING YOUR ATTORNEY AND THIS OPINION EXPRESSED IS JUST THAT, MY OPINION, AND AHOULD IN NO WAY SHAPE YOUR DECISION, HOWEVER I AM SHARING THE EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH OWENS LAW FIRM, AND I HAVE CONCRETE EVIDENCE TO BACK UP THE ABOVE. These are my opinions about my experience.
