We engaged Sylvia M Scott of Freeman Freeman & Smiley in Los Angeles to address former employee's allegations of improper sale of securities. We cannot discuss the matter with any more specificity, but want to make the public aware that we did not have a good experience with Sylvia Scott of Freeman Freeman & Smiley. She was condescending, confrontational both to us - her clients and to the Plaintiffs, which led to escalation of the case and more expenses to us (and more money to Sylvia Scott and her greedy law firm).
Her knowledge even compared to our general counsel was minimal. We are not sure what she actually did at the SEC or FINRA, but it certainly was not securities or corporate work. We imagine that there was some report writing and posturing. The moral of the story is that not all government lawyers know what they are doing when they enter private practice after a long career with a regulator. Sylvia assigned most of the work to associates whom we had never met, and only saw on 2 separate occasions. When constructively challenged about her bills and how she conducted the case, she immediately became childish and extremely defensive. She was better at sending out emails to protect herself after we found errors in judgment and interpretation of the law, then she was when it was a matter of keeping our counsel apprised of where the case stood. We ended up suffering immense economic harm as a result of Sylvia Scott's ignorance and arrogance. This had to be the worst lawyer experience we have ever had.

I agree with the above post regarding Sylvia M. Scott. Our small company was a client. Sylvia did virtually nothing, and billed recklessly. She is a reck.
