I have had a business relationship with Scott Wellman. He is the lawyer that gives lawyers a bad name. He does not supervise his team. He hires young, inexperienced attorneys from unaccredited law firm that graduated at the bottom of their class and recently passed the bar - often relying on a learning disability. He pays them 40k per year or has them work as interns, and he does not supervise them. This is what you get with Scott Wellman. Did I mention that he does not pay his bills and lies. This is how he goes through life, screwing everyone he comes across. If you hire him, get ready for horrible work product, missed deadlines, lies, and overbilling. You will just become another statistic. I am amazed that he has not been disbarred. The fact he has not tells a lot about our legal system.

I was searching for Scott Wellman in order to post an online review about his services. it appears that people other than myself had bad experiences with Scott W Wellman and his law firm in Laguna Hills. I came across the above review and the moronic comment that I feel compelled to respond to. The stupidy of the person that posted it would be difficult to match. Why would a non party go out of its way to defend a lawyer, and then threaten legal action? This is suspect. If a former client wanted to stick up for his or her lawyer, he or she would describe the positive experience, and most likely end it there. This fake post threatens legal action (absurd) which would be baseless even if the law firm or Wellman could identify the person that posted and described his negative experiences. Also, even a non lawyer like me knows that slander is verbal communication, and libel is written. This moron "Tim" or whatever the fool's name is, apparently cannot even distinguish between the two. Notice, this idiot is very vague about what positive experiences he alleges to have had with Scott Wellman. He states that Wellman & Warren in Laguna is a legitimate legal firm. He means law firm. No one seems to question that Wellman's firm is a legitimate in the sense that it exists, and that Wellman has a license to practice law. The complaint speaks to poor legal work, and describes what had happened. The level of stupidy displayed by the consumer comment is almost entertaining.
My advice is that "Tim" goes back to being a greeter at Walmart, and stays off the web. As for my experience with Scott W Wellman, here is the summary. Wellman is a lazy lawyer that runs a mill with several contract lawyers. He is lazy and expensive. I hired Scott Wellman about 7 months ago for contract work. I was selling my carwash business in South Orange county, and a friend mentioned that he knew Scott Wellman socially through some poker network. Scott Wellman talked my ear off, and took at 10k retainer. Then, the only person I had contact with was some young associate named Bimaly. Work was of nolo press quality - utter garbage. I had to get another lawyer to revise the contract. This is how Scott Wellman and his law firm conduct business. I plan on suing Wellman for malpractice, and urge everyone to check Wellman's references carefully. This person gives the legal profession a bad name. If anyone wants to speak with me regarding Scott Wellman, you can email me at [email protected].

Wellman and Warren is a legitimate legal firm that helped me in the past. The negative comments made are by an organization that is in a legal battle with Wellman and warren. This is negative false slander used by these individuals and legal action will be taken against them.
