Scott Lyons Attorney at Law - Visalia (CA)

5 /5 Alejandro Camacho: I worked hard to pay back my debt, but it reached a point where no matter what I did, I couldn’t keep up. After weighing my options, I realized bankruptcy was the only realistic path forward. That’s when I reached out to Scott and Louis. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and made the process as smooth as possible. They took the time to explain everything clearly, and their staff was just as helpful and responsive. What I spent in attorney fees was nothing compared to what they saved me—over 50 times more. Thanks to them, I was able to get my discharge, relieve years of financial stress, and finally start planning for a successful future. I highly recommend their office!

5 /5 Bjorn Nilsen: I sought out Scott Lyons for a consultation surrounding what I felt to be some very complicated issues that involved both the potential for bankruptcy and/or property foreclosure. Mr. Lyons listened to the detail of my situation and was never shook by any of the complicating factors that I introduced. In fact, he evaluated each and explained how they affected any potential action in terms that were easy to understand. He ensured that I had a clear understanding of my options and all possible courses of action. Good information in legal matters is pure gold - Mr. Lyons is a great source of good, reliable information that will leave you feeling that you are indeed "golden" and will be fine despite how bleak you feel your situation might be. Mr. Lyons will treat you with respect, listen to the details of your situation, and provide you with excellent counsel. I strongly recommend his services - you will not be disappointed with his knowledge, thoroughness, compassion, and professionalism.

5 /5 Rudy Perez: It all started with a summons, it was a stressful moment. Didn’t know what to do, until I mentioned it to a good friend of mine who’s done Chapter 7 her self a couple years ago by conversation, and referred me to Scott Lyons Attorney at Law. I called immediately. And the rest is history. Came in for a consultation, gave the breakdown of my situation and Mr. Scott himself told me “not to worry we’ll take good care of you”. Paid my fees did the proper paperwork, waited and a couple months later I literally feel like I can breathe better. I’m beyond relived and happy they took care of me and now I can focus on rebuilding my credit. I’m very pleased they took care of my mistakes I’ve done in the past, also got great advice on what not to do in the future. I will definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you to everyone at the office for being patient, helpful, and professional with not only my situation but anyone who walks into the office. Thank you tremulously!

1 /5 Ricky Maldo: In 2021 I hired this firm cause in August of 2017, Judge Bianco from family court (Visalia) granted my ex wife who id been divorced from since 2014 a 5 year restraining. Judge Bianco labeled them as, Obscene text, that’s why I was in family court, not criminal. The 5 year restraining order caused me to lose my State Department Security Clearance to work at diplomatic outpost, loosing a 6 figure career. Judge Bianco ordered me to a 52 week BATTERS program and to complete 10 INDIVIDUAL counseling sessions, and verbally stated to come back to court once I have that completed. I completed these task in late 2019, but didn’t go back to court till 2021 cause I didn’t wanna go back without representation. We submitted the completed task, they said no, they wanted a letter of confirmation for the 10 individual counseling sessions and the printed out schedule from the VA wasn’t good enough. I did anger management even though it wasn’t court ordered. By this time we got a new Judge, Judge Wolfe. So then I did the 10 additional plus individual counselings and I got the letter of completion from the VA, and then went back to court in 2022, she ordered me to do a court ordered Phycological evaluation. I thought I was protected under hippa cause Wolfe wanted to go through my medical records and I asked Scott Lyons during the proceedings but he would always make a hand gesture as if he was shoeing away a fly and say”just get this done”. Scott Lyons would always say, “it’s all about the money, your ex’s lawyer get paid by the hour”. Also I would NOT meet with Scott Lyons until 30 min before the hearing. In 2023, the psych evaluation report stated I should get some custody, but no, they ordered to do more counseling. Scott Lyons never once tried defending me in the court room, I put my faith in him and that’s my fault for not following my intuition. In august of 2024, we went back to court for a review of the restraining order renewal. I never signed anything or gave my verbal consent, other then agreeing to proceed, I never agreed to a permanent restraining order yet my ex got it. I was deceived for a lack of better term. Charlie, Scott Lyons son said”well they probably went with the severity of the text messages you sent in 2017”, but months before that he said stated” the text messages have been litigated”, lots of contradictory information. Scott wanted to meet up after the hearing, when we should have met before and discuss options. Also, he told my parents and I, that there is noting we can do, that isn’t true at all, I was appalled when I found out threw new firm on what actions we can take. NOT once did I ever get a reason why the “court” made these decisions, Scott never asked for it, you can ask to get it in writing, but that never happened, it was always a mystery and I could NOT ever get a clear answer. Also, every time I’d call the office to ask a question, they always say just email him and he’d get back to you. I printed out all the emails I sent him since 2021, and not once did he ever respond, literally not one. Save your money, you’re better off representing yourself so you can at least ask the judge questions and defend yourself cause he never once stood up for me. My 5 year restraining turned into a permanent, I spent thousands of dollars for only things to become worse. The day I parted ways with Scott Lyons firm, I felt so much stress come off my back. I gave him my faith and was nothing but a yes man, hoping he was gonna have my back, but nope, definitely a learning experience. I’m not upset, and I made that clear when parting ways, everything that I am writing is simply facts. I really wish the court house would just put all of us on lie detectors, would make this all easier, but I nobody wants that. All this cross talk and anecdotal testimony is beyond flawed. I understand what I did was wrong, more then anyone, but I been doing supervised visits since 2017, management of supervised visits never ever seen anything like this. Scott Lyons said there’s nothing we can, he lied with a smile on his face.
