Personal Injury Representation

Scott represented me in a personal injury case, and I am highly satisfied with his competence, professionalism, and communication. His transparent and enlightening translation of complicated legal jargon and procedure into understandable English inspires confidence. He was very helpful in all aspects... of the case and I recommend him highly.

Competent, Honest and Bright

I have worked with Scott over the past few years and, in my experience, I have found him to be bright, attentive and reasonable to work with. He is detail oriented with seemingly endless energy and will do whatever needs to be done to move the case forward. He is reachable always returning calls prom...ptly. When you ask him a question you will get a detailed explanation of the ‘why’ behind the answer, as he will spend as much time as is necessary to ensure you have a full understanding. Scott is well versed in the law, always thinking of the case and how it can be improved. He keeps you well apprised of progress, dropping an email or text to let you know what is going on. Above all I have found Scott to be honest, which sets him above most in the field. I would recommend Scott to anyone needing competent legal advice and would not hesitate to refer him to family or friends. Should the need arise again; he would be my first call.

Scott goes the extra mile

About 15 years ago, I lost all of my possessions in a warehouse fire. I had let my homeowners policy lapse on the belongings and was at a complete loss on what to do next. I contacted Scott for advice, and his first comment was how sorry he was for my loss and if there was anything he could do to h...elp in the short term. After that, Scott worked diligently on researching case law and determined the warehouse did not offer additional insurance to cover my belongings. This was grounds for 3x damages. He also investigated the fire and determined the warehouse was illegally letting people sleep in the place at night. (One of the "residents" was using a kerosene heater to keep warm when it tipped over and sent the place into a 5 alarm fire.) Because of Scott's hard work and research, I was able to recover the value of most of my belongings. I felt like Scott really cared not only about getting me the award I was deserving, but also that he cared about me. This was a very unique experience. I would highly recommend Scott without hesitation.

Personal injury lawyer | Sep 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. A trustworthy and hardworking lawyer. I have worked side-by-side as co-counsel with Scott Harford on a wrongful death truck accident case and on a Legionnaires’ disease case. We split up the work on both of the cases and I always found Scott to be willing to do more than his share of the work. When we strategized together on the cases, Scott was a very creative and quick thinker. His decision-making instincts were impeccable. Scott also has a very smart and responsive staff to assist his clients. In the end, we achieved very good results for our mutual clients in both cases. Scott was an integral part of the effort. I give him my highest recommendation and hope to work with him again in the very near future."
