Excellent attorney

I just wanted to leave a quick review here because I picked Scott because of the reviews on this website he is not only a good attorney but a good person I hired him because of a nonsense arrest in which I received an appearance ticket for, and when I needed to go get fingerprinted I was apprehensive... and afraid to go on my own so Scott came with me which is something I'm sure most attorneys would not do so if you need not only a good attorney but a decent human being you can't go wrong with him. I appreciate the hand holding throughout this whole experience because I'd be lost.

An excellent lawyer you can count on

Our son was falsely accused of Title IX violations at college. His future was at stake. We knew we needed to hire the right lawyer to defend him. We hired Scott and not only did he defend and advise him, but we won the case and all charges were dropped! The cost of hiring him was an excellent investm...ent. Scott was honest, professional, extremely knowledgeable and the right man for the job. He made my son comfortable throughout the terrifying experience. Highly recommend him.

Amazing Lawyer

After talking to many attorneys that were judgmental and left me anxious and worried. I finally spoke with Scott Limmer and he was so supportive, and did not judge the situation not one bit. He alleviated all my anxieties about it. He is reliable he answers back expeditiously and helps you get your c...ase dealt with as soon as possible. In my case I went from calling lawyers to actually seeing court in a matter of 1 day. He cares about his clients and cares to alleviate their fears about the charge and process. He’s so honest he actually told me he wouldn’t want to take my case since a regular legal aid could take the case and there’s nothing to worry about and he wouldn’t want me to spend money getting something this simple resolved . He even explained what the legal aid would say and do along with the entire process. He advised me even though I was not his client and was giving me advice for another attorney. I immediately hired him ON THE SPOT and he gave me a discount since he felt it still unfair to take my money. I never spoke with a lawyer that actually looks out for your well being. I could’ve cried and I did. He understands that mistakes happen but also understands the unfairness of harsh punishments. The day of court I actually found out the case was already closed. And even though we spent 2 days prepping and talking over the phone the morning of he refunded me all of the money spent for his fee. He’s an angel and a godsent. He also understands the legal system extremely well and can explain it in layman terms which was a relief after talking to other lawyers that were rude, seemed almost annoyed to converse, were negative about the outcome, judgmental, and overpriced. Scott Limmer is the most amazing lawyer that actually cares about his clients and I would hire him again in a second if I ever got into any trouble. You should too!

Best legal defense

I am a Long Island college student who was wrongly accused amongst others for academic dishonesty based on a professor’s assumptions. When I was first notified of the false accusation, I was surprised and extremely nervous of how this could impact my future as I have had no other disciplinary issues ...in my academic career. The steps leading up to the hearing which included the appeal process was misleading and confusing. I researched lawyers and was fortunate to find Scott Limmer who is an excellent academic disciplinary attorney. Scott was an amazing attorney who made me feel comfortable throughout this difficult process. He was always available to answer any questions I had and offered expert legal advice every step of the way. At first the school told me that I was not able to have an attorney present at the hearing. Fortunately, that was not the case as in the end Scott Limmer was able to attend my hearing with me after all. He prepared me extensively for the hearing, going over the evidence and arguments for weeks prior to the hearing date. This accusation could have damaged not only my GPA but also my integrity and reputation. I am so grateful that I had Scott Limmer as my attorney and I would highly recommend him. With his legal guidance, I was fortunate to receive a favorable outcome as I was found not responsible for academic dishonesty and I received my final grade for the class with no penalty.

Man of his word

Never in a million years did I imagine having to need a Lawyer for anyone in my family. I was a worried parent for her child and Scott gave me the assurance I needed and the result was exactly as promised. He gave me the attention I needed and responded quickly to every call or text. Scott Limmer act...ually cares about his clients and their future. I will be forever grateful.

"I endorse Scott Limmer wholeheartedly for not only his criminal defense knowledge, but his special education knowledge as well. In the time I have known Scott, he has been nothing short of insightful, knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and professional. He is truly available for his clients or colleagues at all times, an incredible asset in this day and age. His CV will speak for him, but his background and experience are unparalleled as he specializes in two vital practice areas. His special education work is remarkably admirable, as he viciously advocates for his clients who are in desperate need of a helping hand in their quest to obtain a proper education. Frequently providing free knowledge/tips via his social media pages, he is an asset to the legal community. I would recommend him to anyone with a criminal or special education matter without hesitation."

Scott has the rate gift of a superb criminal defense attorney: the ability to convey his passion for his client's cause in a way that isn't off-putting to jurors or prosecutors. These complimentary skills enable him secure successful outcomes for his clients. I strongly endorse Scott Limmer.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Limmer is a credit to our profession. Besides being a skilled litigator and consummate professional, he is a class act as a human being. One need only be in his presence when he speaks of his chosen vocation, and it is eminently clear that fighting for fairness and the rights of his clients is not a mere profession, but rather a calling to which Mr. Limmer has the highest level of passion I've witnessed in my 14+ years as a lawyer. I am proud to call him my colleague and friend, and he personifies all that lawyers should aspire to."
