It was evident that Scott’s unwavering dedication was instrumental in resolving our dispute. The opposing counsel was overwhelmingly outmatched.

Alves Radcliffe are absolutely Rad!
I had the unfortunate experience of being sued for a large sum of money in 2017. It was really unsettling and quite disturbing. Fortunately,… read more I had Scott Radcliffe as my attorney. I was guided through the entire process of the lawsuit and followed all of Mr Radcliffe’s wise advice and instructions. Mr Radcliffe devised a brilliant defense that I truly believe the other side never saw coming. To their dismay and our victory, the plan was successful and the opposing side’s litigation was diffused and rejected.
Being involved in litigation is such a distressing and disturbing matter. In my past experiences of dealing with other attorneys regarding other matters, I had always felt distanced from my own interests and powerless regarding the situation. Even though I had representation I did not feel represented.
On the other hand, while working with Mr Radcliffe and his team, I felt they gave my case a personal interest. There was a sincere concern demonstrated regarding this important matter in my life and the final result. I was included, involved, and comfortable throughout the process of the litigation. All of my questions and concerns were always met with a personable and professional manner and whenever I hung up the phone after any inquiry I would be at ease.
I applaud the Alves Radcliffe firm for their legal expertise and I would rely on them for representation and/or guidance regarding any legal matter.
12/27/2020I have used Scott Radcliffe a few times while starting my business and most recently for a lawsuit. He is super knowledgeable, approachable and quick to reply. We… read more had a positive outcome with our case and I truly believe it is completely due to Scott’s expertise. I highly recommend Alves Radcliffe.

We hired him to settle a landlord and tenant… read more dispute, after spending time in consulting and reading his counter dispute, we knew he was high caliber. He seems to know the case more thoroughly that we did.
More importantly, through his advice and how he brilliantly wrote the counter suite, we were able to settle the case to our satisfaction. Was just speaking to my wife about Scott, he loves to litigate, and you need someone who insanely loves to fight for you instead of just settling a case.
If you need a good business lawyer, look no further, Scott will take care of you.

Scott represented my business in a landlord retaliation case. He was masterful in his representation. He did a great job in explaining the litigation and then arbitration process and all… read more of the inter-working parts in between. I never felt out of the loop and always knew what the next step was. He always responded to questions in a timely manner. Scott is aggressive when he needs to be and will fight for you every step of the way. I never felt overcharged and was always invoiced with a detailed description of each billable hour.

8/07/2019So far Suzanne Alves is a kickass attorney. I wanted a female attorney dpecifically and searched and searched until I came upon her. She is a gem of an attorney… read more and when I met with her in my first consultation she took all of my informsation for 2 hours and rarely interrupted ( you know attorneys love to talk and dominate a conversation) and was able to come up with an initial plan of ideas to defend my case.

It will be very difficult to communicate and stress what Scott Radcliffe has done for me and what an incredible lawyer he truly is. When I went to Scott to… read more get a second opinion because I felt that my current lawyer was fraudulently billing me, and that there had been little progress in my current case he reviewed the charges and agreed I indeed was being unfairly billed. It’s typical I realize, lawyers padding their billing hours but this was seemingly more than that. Much more.
I fired the lawyer who had taken so much of my money and neglected to do anything on my case, while Scott went to work not only getting my money back (yes all of it), but pushing insurance to cover the charges rather than it coming out of pocket.
While the other lawyers attached to the case on other sides weren’t doing their jobs or keeping their clients apprised of progress or any news in the case, I knew every step, good or bad.. every scenario, every single detail that transpired and guess what ?? Not only do I have all of my money back, and insurance ended up covering me because of Scott.. my case is finally over and I can get a good night’s sleep again!!!
I will never use anyone else to represent me and I recommend you take the same position !!

He may… read more be expensive, but I felt I got what I paid for. Thanks to Scott’s advice, I was able to secure remedy for my damages and know that I did right by my community.

I want to preface this review by saying not even a 5-star rating will do this firm justice. I recently had the privilege of working with this law firm and… read more my experience will be unforgettable. I retained Scott Radcliffe on a case for my international fitness product business involving libel and I have to say, I received even more than what I expected. Scott was extremely professional and walked me through everything as this was my first time seeking council at a higher level.
Scott’s passion and knowledge for business law is truly world class and I became even more impressed with his litigation strategy during our process. He always had a plan and a reason as to why we approached the responses the way we did. As a result we were able to not only settle out of court, but we ended up settling for more than I ever imagined possible. He always had my professional interests at heart and was sharp when handling the negotiation. Needless to say it was a huge win for my company and because of it I will not go anywhere else for any future business litigation (hopefully I don’t need to) but if need be I know I can trust Scott and his firm to handle whatever life throws my way.
You guys are awesome please keep up the great work, you helped my business save/win a boatload of money and because of your talent I will be able to expand my company like never before.
