When you visit Scott Overholts website - you will see the words Fair, Honest, and Aggressive. I couldn’t think of better words to describe this wonderful man. When I had my accident, the other insurance company dragged their feet for so long - but Scott got it done, the bills paid, and a very fair settlement. When you go to his office and sit down with him, you’re never rushed and he LISTENS! He has taken care of a few things for me and I always recommend him highly. He’s the only attorney I trust.

Pele thoughtfully stated "Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." Scott Overholt and his team put all of these to use for me- the result? A positive outcome on my behalf! Scott and his team always made time for my questions and were both personal and professional. They truly love what they do and will use their experience to work hard for you. I highly recommend Overholt Law Firm!
