About Scott
Biography
After spending 3 years at the Sullivan County District Attorney's office I left to work for 2 years at the Public Defenders office.

I believe that not only are you entitled to a lawyer, you are entitled to an experienced lawyer that is also affordable.
I handle criminal matters, including drug possession, theft, dwi/dui and traffic matters in Sullivan, Orange, Ulster, Dutchess and Delaware counties
