“Ackerman Link & Sartory is not just another law firm.  In the sea of lawyers, ALS provides clients with real value and exceptional strategic advice. The principals of the firm are hands on and the lawyer you hire is the lawyer who works on your case day to day and who takes your case to trial.  Both David and Scott are first class advocates and they know how to solve clients’ problems.  While they look for business solutions, they prepare to take your case to trial.  They are real trial lawyers.”

Client, Partner with major law firm

"Ackerman Link & Sartory represents the perfect example of a model boutique litigation firm. They are small and so attentive to individual needs and yet large enough to handle matters of any size and complexity.  Their lawyers are uniquely skilled, diligent and creative. They combine the best litigation skills with a keen understanding of risk evaluation and business needs as well as a commitment to the ethical and honorable practice of law.  I unhesitatingly recommend them for any size or type of litigation anywhere in the country."

Principal, Mediation firm

“The firm is comprised of a very talented group of attorneys.  While their work product is the same or better than the work product we’ve received from large international law firms, Ackerman Link & Sartory is a much better value.   They are skilled professionals and they are nimble and very responsive to client needs.  I do not hesitate to recommend them.”

Senior Counsel & Head of Litigation for a public company

“Scott Link is the consummate professional.  He represents the rare combination of integrity and honesty with aggressive advocacy.  As an adverse litigant, you are oftentimes confronted with fighting for the sake of fighting. With Scott, the litigation is about getting to the truth, even if it doesn’t always advance his cause.  Scott is a pleasure to deal with, regardless of the outcome, and I have no hesitation recommending Scott and his firm.”

Opposing Counsel

“Scott is one of the most effective attorneys in our business.  He wastes no time, he hits points that needs to be hit, stays clear of areas that are dangerous and is an absolute master at weaving facts for his closing arguments.  Just as importantly, he is a man of his word and enjoys a wonderful reputation among his peers. An attorney to be reckoned with.”

Opposing Counsel

"I consider Scott Link to be the finest claimant's lawyer in the country."

Mediator

"Our company has had the pleasure of working with Wendy Link and her law firm on hundreds of millions of dollars of real estate acquisitions and financings over the course of the past decade. We have consistently been pleased with the firm’s high degree of professionalism and attention to detail. Of particular note is Wendy’s ability to cordially represent our best interests with various parties without conceding those interests. She is equally able to be a tough adversary if the circumstances demand that course."

Chief Operating Officer of a national Real Estate Investment Company

“Scott Link is unquestionably one of the toughest adversaries I have worked against in over thirty years of practice.  He is knowledgeable and thorough, and fully understands both the strengths and weaknesses of his cases.  Scott is an incredibly effective advocate for his clients, whom he represents vigorously.   He maintains the very highest standards of professionalism and integrity in his dealings with opposing counsel, arbitration panels and courts.  I have referred clients to Scott in the past, and will continue to do so in the future, because he achieves great results while handling matters in a way that is a credit to our profession.”

Opposing Counsel

“When our enterprise needs effective trial lawyers who will protect our interests in and proactively seek solutions for significant business disputes, Ackerman, Link and Sartory is the first law firm I contact.”

General Counsel, law firm

 

“Scott’s intelligence and meticulous preparation are evident in his command of the facts and the applicable law in each case.   While these qualities make for a formidable adversary in a trial, it is his practical approach to dispute resolution while maintaining the highest level of professionalism and decorum with opposing counsel that make him a complete lawyer.  This rare combination of advocacy skills has inured directly to the benefit of his clients.”

Opposing Counsel

"I am a securities defense lawyer who has tried over 200 arbitrations and trials all over the country. I have litigated against almost all of the upper tier Claimants’ lawyers. Scott Link stands head and shoulders above his peers in terms of his case preparation,  analysis, and results. He has an uncanny ability to reasonably evaluate the value of his client’s claims and to achieve uniformly better results for those clients than virtually all of his peers. I believe this is largely because of his professionalism, case evaluation and trial skills. And his innate likeability. I believe he consistently gets better results for his clients because he never tries to overreach or exaggerate his cases. He is tough, but fair."

Opposing Counsel

"I am head of litigation for a business within a large global bank.  Over the last three years I have been adverse to Scott Link in a number of high profile securities arbitrations that are part of a larger cluster of matters resulting from the credit crisis. Scott is an excellent litigator. He is smart, hard working, ethical.  He is also very skilled at cross examination, closing argument and is a tough but reasonable attorney regarding settlement negotiations. More than that, he is a very professional and personable attorney. I have and will continue to recommend him to associates who ask me for counsel for securities claims."

Senior In House Counsel of a Major Financial Institution
 

“We have a national practice and I have had the opportunity to see attorneys in action all over the country. Scott is at the very top of the list. He is always well-prepared, knowledgeable about the industry, a forceful and highly effective advocate for his clients. He is a very formidable trial lawyer who has the respect of his opponents.”  

Opposing Counsel
 

"The words that come to mind when I think about Wendy Link are: intelligent, determined, logical, charming and caring. This wonderful and rare set of attributes sets Wendy apart from your typical attorney. It has been my pleasure to watch Wendy deal with a multitude of complex situations breaking them down to their most simple form and developing a solution or plan of action to resolve whatever the issue may be, typically in a way that all parties are satisfied with the results. I would give my total and unqualified recommendation of Wendy to handle your legal needs."

Director of Administration for a Florida college

“I have known Scott Link for approximately twenty years. I am a partner of a law firm with offices in New York City, New Jersey and Florida, and devote my practice to securities litigation.  We defend most of the major broker-dealers on Wall Street. I have defended clients in cases brought by Scott and his firm, representing Claimants. I was previously employed as in-house counsel by a major Wall Street firm and financial institution. In that role, I defended that firm and its employees in cases brought by Scott and his firm on behalf of Claimants, and oversaw outside counsel in other cases brought by Scott. I have the utmost respect for Scott as a person and a lawyer. He is an extremely skilled lawyer with the utmost credibility. My views are shared equally by my colleagues and friends who know Scott and have tried cases against him. Scott is unique among those with whom I have interacted on the Claimant’s bar, and there have been many over the years. His skills, character and professionalism are unmatched. I also consider Scott a friend, and am proud to feel that way. Any client who decides to hire Scott to represent them will be very happy with their decision.”
