Posted by Chris | February 23, 2015 | Criminal Defense

Smart, compassionate, affordable lawyer.

I hired Scott Limmer to defend my son who had gotten into trouble in school and with the law. From our first meeting to our last, and there were many in between, not only was Scott extremely knowledgable in both aspects, but he always kept us informed about what was going on, attended CSE meetings w...ith us and answered my phone calls any time of the day to put my mind at ease. Scott went above and beyond for our son to make sure that he would get the best outcome possible and that outcome was better than we had ever expected. He is very compassionate about his work and it shows in everything he does. I truly believe that if I hadn't hired Scott as my lawyer, my son would not have been given the fresh start that he now has.

"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."

"I endorse this lawyer. As a former prosecutor, Scott brings years of experience that make him a strong and forceful advocate on behalf of his clients, while his compassion for his clients allows him to successfully guide them through an often frightening process. 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. Scott brings these same skills to bear in the educational arena, where he serves as an powerful advocate for students and parents."

"Over the past fifteen years or so, Scott Limmer is the only attorney to whom I refer my client for any type of criminal matter, from the simplest of misdemeanor offenses to felony criminal charges. Scott has handled referrals and cases from the New York City area all the way to the eastern end of Long Island. I have only received positive feedback from my clients after working with Scott. I offer my highest endorsement."

"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."
