I left a very long review on another popular site already so I'll make this quick. The time he spent engaging with me and speaking to me honestly, guiding me on the best proper steps that should be taken and overall helpfulness speaks volumes to his character. I'm not one to go out of my way and act ...

Had a fender bender and popped a .10 on breathalizer. Scott saved me form a 9 month suspension and points by scrutinizing the breathalizer test and an incorrect procedure. Suspension reduced to 3 months and no points. Scott really cares, is empathetic and spent a lot of time with me. He is a life...
"Scott is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the state. He knows his way around a courtroom and he has an excellent reputation with the prosecutors and judges who will affect the disposition of a client's case. Experienced and professional."
"I have known Scott for several years and watched him act as a tireless advocate for his criminal defense clients. Any individual who has retained Scott as his attorney has received diligent attention and superior legal acumen. I highly recommend Scott Gorman's services to both clients, family and friends."
"Scott is a top notch criminal defense attorney; I have referred him clients and have heard him lecture on various topics. I endorse him without any hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I met Scott at a two day DUI seminar in Los Angeles. He impressed me with his knowledge of DUI and the science behind how to defend DUI cases. I would recommend anyone facing a DUI charge in his area to give him a call."
"Mr Gorman is a respected member in the legal community. He is a pillar in the National College of DUI defense. I endorse this lawyer."
"Scott is not only a highly skilled trial attorney, but an empathetic counselor to people facing difficulties and crises. As a professional colleague he is extremely generous and always willing to share the benefit of his knowledge and experience."
"Scott is the kind of lawyer I would recommend to a family member. He is sharp and thoroughly versed on the law. He is bold and willing to go above and beyond what is expected on all fronts in his capacity as a lawyer. But what distinguishes Scott from the rest is that on top of being a superb lawyer, he has a human touch that is often missing. He knows who he is defending and he is not afraid to go out on the limb for his clients. I have had the pleasure of working with Scott on several matters where he has handled the criminal aspect. On those occasions, he has treated our shared clients with the utmost respect and consideration and taken the time to thoroughly explain the process they are about to endure,the possible outcomes and his honest advise as to how to proceed. Scott is an excellent attorney and human being and if he's your lawyer, he won't disappoint."
"I have known Scott Gorman as an attorney for the past few years. He has that rare mix of personality and legal knowledge that makes him an extremely effective courtroom attorney. I highly recommend him."
"Mr. Gorman is an unwavering advocate for his clients. He maintains extremely high standards for himself and his work, his innate sense of fairness and his pursuit of justice underlies his commitment to provide each client with the best possible representation. Mr. Gorman and I developed many defenses to scientific evidence in DWI cases. He is at the forefront of advancing some of the most sophisticated defenses in the State of New Jersey."
"Scott is a stellar attorney with a top notch education, big firm credentials and experience, outstanding training, a great personality, and an ability to get things done on behalf of his clients. If you are looking for a zealous advocate who will continually fight on your behalf and never back down to prosecutors' or anyone else's bullying tactics, he's the attorney for you!"
