I had the pleasure of working with Mr. McMillen on a case on behalf of my father. I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, competent and willingness to fight for my father atty, which ultimately produced a settlement he was very pleased with. He is most definitely a medical malpractice specialist! He is easily accessible – by phone, text, email and flexible in making appts. Scott doesn’t “advertise” as many atty’s do – his reputation stands on its own. I would highly recommend Scott for any of your concerns about the medical treatment you have. The consummate professional!

I did extensive research online looking for the right attorney and came across Scott McMillen. I was very impressed with his background. I hired him. He was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, transparent, patient, and respectful throughout the almost five-year legal process. Scott was always available to take my call and address any questions and concerns I had. I felt very confident in my choice and am very pleased with the outcome of everything. If I had it to do all over again,
I would hire Scott McMillen in a heartbeat. I really appreciate him for a job well done!

We always felt we were their top priority, and they involved us totally in each part of the process. We experienced mediation, depositions, and a trial by jury. All along we were prepared for what we could expect, so there were no surprises. These are such professional people, and we feel grateful that we had them in our corner. If we ever need a personal injury lawyer, this is where we would go.

Scott was the only one in the state to take my case. Was a very hard case because of the FREE KILL LAW in Florida. But Scott took the challenge on. Scott and his staff where very kind and worked very hard for my son’s case. If you need a honest hard working and VERY Knowledgeable lawyer. Scott’s law firm will be the firm to go with. He was able to get the hospital to wake up and settle with us. Thank you very much for all your hard work.

The team at Paul, Knopf and Bigger was exceptional and I would recommend them to anyone. They educated me and kept me up to date and informed during every step of the process. Not only are they highly professional and gifted in their field, but they also took the time to listen and get to know me as a person.

Paul Knopf Bigger is an outstanding law firm. From first discussion with the intake person to regular interactions with our lawyer, the professional courtesy was amazing. It can be intimidating trying to speak with a law firm and discuss personal information about yourself, but not at Paul Knopf Bigger! They handled us with kid gloves-we were never just a number-they sincerely cared. The legal assistant was extremely organized, responsive and compassionate. Our lawyer was a perfect match for my parents, patient and willing to explain everything. I would highly recommend contacting Paul Knopf Bigger – it could have a great impact on your future.

I am thoroughly impressed with this law firm; they were very compassionate, when dealing with feelings and situations, I felt very comfortable when working with them, they were very professional and had the experience it needed to do their job. For myself, trust is very important in any relationship especially a professional firm that is supposed to represent you, and these lawyers earned my trust, and made the process so much easier to deal with, I would not hesitate to hire them again if the need arose.

Garrett B.

Exceptional customer service. They took our case serious and made themselves available 24/7. Honestly, throughout the process and even afterwords, they treated us like family, and we plan to continue our friendship even though our business with them has concluded. If you are looking for a firm that will take the hard cases and truly fight for you, look no further. Thank you for being there for us and all of the support.
