Amazing Lawyer

Scott was recommended to me by a friend and I have nothing negative to say about him after hired. I had a 98 in a 55mph zone speeding ticket, brought all the way down to basically a parking ticket and no points. Amazing work and definitely out performed from what he promised me in my consolation. Reg...ardless what he costs to take care of your situation, Scott is well worth your time!!

MAGIC!!! 106 MPH SPEED REDUCED TO PARKING TICKET

Scott somehow got my 106 mph speed in Nassau reduced to a parking ticket!! No points on my license and my insurance was not increased. He also got my wife's cell phone ticket in Suffolk reduced to a parking ticket! I tell all of my friends to keep his cell phone number in their phones and to call ...right away if they get tickets or arrested. He is truly the best.

Highly recommended Attorney

I can't even put into words what Scott Black has done for me. Not only is he extremely professional, knowledgeable, and a great attorney. He is understanding and compassionate. I needed someone in my corner who believed in me and help fight for me. I told Scott and the end of my journey with him tha...t he made me believe that there are still good people in this world!!! You need an attorney you need Scott Black. So grateful for him and all he did for me.

Criminal Defense

Scott took care of a speeding ticket for me back in 2018 and then again this week. He reduced my “speeding in work zone” to “jaywalking”. No points on my license and nothing on my abstract! It’s like it never happened. I definitely recommend him!

Scott is the best!

Scott is wonderful! My teenaged son got some tickets upstate (one was technically a felony under the law) and I started looking for an attorney. Scott called me back promptly and was very generous with his time during our phone consult. He thought it was premature to hire an attorney but was ready in... case we needed one. He advised us as to how to handle the tickets. Due to his advice, the tickets were dismissed. No points and no insurance increase! And he did not even bill me for the phone consult. He is a classy, knowledgable guy and I would not hesitate to hire him if we ever need a lawyer. I would highly recommend him.

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.
