The Best Anywhere

Greenfield (everybody calls him Greenfield) is not like any other lawyer I ever used. No bull. When he says something, he means it. We went to trial and he was a killer. When he tells you he puts in the work, he means it. If you want somebody to hold your hand, this is not the lawyer you want. But if... you want the best chance to win your case, you want Greenfield. I've used other lawyers before, but I would never to go another lawyer after Greenfield. He is the best there is.

"Scott Greenfield is most likely your criminal-defense lawyer's favorite lawyer. He is one of my mentors, and he has taught me a great deal. And he continues to teach criminal trial lawyers. If the government targets me or anyone I love for criminal prosecution, I would do whatever is necessary, within the bounds of the law, to secure Scott Greenfield's counsel."

Criminal defense lawyer | May 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Imagine you or a family member was implicated in a very, very serious criminal matter. A matter where you needed the best, most experienced, and dedicated lawyer to defend the case at all costs. Not someone who would hold your hand, mince words, or get scared in the courtroom. You want a seasoned, experienced, extremely effective lawyer who will defend the case to the absolute extent it can be. Scott Greenfield is that lawyer."

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.
