I came to Mr. Hamblin with a very difficult case. Prior to discovering him, I had tried to contact other attorneys who would not return my calls. Mr. Hamblin willingly agreed to represent me. He was straightforward with me, assuring me that he would work toward the best outcome possible. Whenever I contacted his office by phone or email with a question, I received a quick response. I would not hesitate to seek his services in any future legal matters. He achieved an unimaginably excellent outcome for my case, lifting a heavy burden off my shoulders. Thanks, Scott, for your…
I cannot say enough good things about Scott Hamblin and his team. From the beginning, Scott was extremely organized, thorough, and realistic. He was always honest with me about my options and what to expect, and he never made promises he couldn't guarantee. At the same time, he was confident, strategic, and fully prepared. Going into trial, I knew we had challenges. It was clear the guardian ad litem's position was biased and not favorable to me, and at times, it felt like the odds were stacked against me. However, Scott's preparation, command of the facts, and ability to clearly…
If you are looking for an attorney who always strives to win, Scott is your number one choice. He is here for you and is there to win the case. I believe he has the best of intentions to do the job he is hired for every time. Best of all, he takes pride in his work!! If you are reading this, there is no need to look any further.
Going to court is, without a doubt, the scariest and my stressful thing that I have ever done. All the legalities and unknowns are all you can think about, and having a good attorney to ease some of those worries is essential. From the first day we met Mr. Hamblin, he has been kind, understanding, and patient with us. He was great at listening and giving us options. Also, when needed, he communicated when we were being unreasonable. Honestly, we have all been a little unreasonable when frustrated, but I was glad he communicated that before we went to court.…
This is where I found myself about a year ago – reading Scott Hamblin’s Google reviews and wondering who I should turn to for help. My ex-wife (a former family law attorney) was trying to relocate our two children out of state. I’m not an attorney. I didn’t yet live in Cole County. I read Scott’s bio and his reviews and decided to take a chance. It was one of the best decisions I made during the most difficult year of my life. Scott is a trial attorney, and he is a pro. He set clear expectations about the case,…

I was going through a contested divorce case and custody battle. When I hired Scott I felt my world was crashing around me. Scott jumped in and handled the case very professionally and to the point. He argued the facts and made sure that my rights was not violated. I am happy to report that I have my children with me now and could not be happier. Thank you Scott for fighting for me. If I ever need an attorney again, Scott Hamblin will be the one that I am going to call.
I hired Scott in the middle of my 2 yearlong custody modification case. After discussing with Scott about how I felt I did not have an aggressive enough lawyer with my first lawyer for the case, I was fighting against ex-husband, Scott gladly took the case. Scott and Madysn were extremely responsive with questions that I had and, helped me along the way to make the best decisions for my case with my financial situation in mind. Scott left no rock unturned in the trial and was extremely prepared for the case. After a long 2 days' worth of trial,…

His responsiveness and approachable demeanor helped put us at ease throughout. I would highly recommend Scott to anyone in need of legal services.
