Client Review

Mr. Sleight is extremely intelligent, personable, compassionate, and approachable. He never wavered in his commitment to make sure that I was informed about all aspects of my law suit. Whenever I called him with questions, he always responded immediately. I would recommend him highly as a constructio...n/business/real estate attorney.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Scott and I were opposing counsel in a hotly contested, week-long construction arbitration. His witnesses were extremely well prepared, his direct and cross-examinations were effective, succinct and to the point, and his selection of legal arguments and briefing were superb. "

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
