Jeff Carrier is an amazing attorney I highly recommend! I had complicated challenging custody issues that he resolved. He was easy to talk to and explained all important details revolving around the case, always very responsive within 24 hours. In the courtroom he was impressive with great assertiveness and excellent speaking skills , he really stands up for his clients!! I only wish I would have found him sooner. I will always be grateful for Mr. Carrier!

Scott came highly recommended by a personal friend who is also a lawyer, and he lived up to the reputation. I needed legal help during a very hard time in my life, which would have been so much more difficult if not for Scott's excellent counsel and work ethic. I was immediately at ease upon our first meeting-- he's very good at what he does and brings that professionalism to bear with a personal touch. I felt very confident knowing Scott, and the whole team at Fuerst, Carrier, & Ogden, were in my corner. Scott is one of the smartest and hardest-working lawyers in the state. Cannot recommend enough

I have dealt with roughly 5 lawyers in the process of dealing with my ex. I wish I would have hired them first. They are all for you. They will not beat you around the bush. They tell ya how it is and what can be done. Along with what to expect. Smartest group of lawyers I have delt with. I would highly recommend them to anyone going through a divorce or child custody issue. They are on your side. Your money will be well spent. I will never hire another law firm for any issues dealing with my son. I had Jeff.... Great Guy.... along with Randy and Tonya. These people are your best shot.

I hired Scott Ogden to take on my custody battle case, that a previous attorney I had hired was unable to do. He was very professional but stern with the opposing attorney; even with the covid virus he was able to finish the custody agreement. Every cent was worth it towards paying Scott. He is super nice , up front about everything and doesn't let anyone walk all over him and works day and night for every client he has. I would and will recommend him to anyone that's looking for a awesome attorney. He has a great team behind him including paralegal and financial advisor. - Cassandra Mericle

I would highly recommend any of these lawyers. I personally used Scott Ogden and was in awe of the assistance him and his colleagues provided me with. They were very accommodating with the way I wanted things handled and were quick with responding to any of my questions and requests. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer!

Scott handled my divorce for me incredibly well. He and Robin were always there to answer my questions in a timely manner and things went very smoothly on their end. I was overseas for the vast majority of the case and Scott ensured that I stayed informed and I was able to focus on work instead of being stressed. Every visit with Scott and Robin,… to include the surprise visit by Randy was memorable and quick. Visits were highlighted with laughs and jokes which is a nice change of pace from how movies and tv depict lawyers. I mentioned a non-law related issues I was having and Scott generous

I have so many good things to say about Scott Ogden. I had some divorce and custody issues. I had a consultation with Scott and Robin. They were professional, organized, and detailed. We had court twice and both times, Scott was well verse and stressed his points. The divorce was fair and I have 50/50 custudy of my kids. Scott Ogden is passionate about what he does, once you meet him you would see what I mean.

We would highly recommend Scott Ogden and his staff to any of our family and friends. From the beginning to end, he and his team were fantastic. We were treated with the upmost respect, courtesy, and professionalism throughout the entire process. What seemed like a difficult journey and a "mountain to climb" ended up being a stroll through the park. We have, for the first time, a sense of safety and security within our family that we have never experienced before and we will be forever grateful to Scott and his staff.

Hello, just want to shout out to my lawyer Scott ogden and his paralegal Chrissy. They are a dream team because of Scott I was able to get my kids back from another state with a civil warrant. Both he and Chrissy went out of their way to help me and my complicated case. Thanks to Chrissy for driving two hours on her day off to bring me documents. Thanks to Scott for taking my crazy case. Best lawyers. I am forever grateful!!!!
