Scott Riordan - Excellent!!

Scott is an attorney l would highly recommend. He is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and forthcoming when l had questions or concerns. I don't think another attorney would have fought for me the way he did. He obtained the results l wanted and NEEDED for my career. He also has a great sense of... humor and always put me at ease when needed!!

A True Professional If Needed; Will Always Be In My Corner

Scott Riordan is one of the most impressive, trustworthy and respectful professionals that I have had the pleasure in meeting. Seeking legal representation for my son was not the way that I desire in meeting remarkable people; however, Scott was a God Sent for a rather bizarre case in which my 17 ...year old son fell victim to perceived deceptions and falsehoods. Facing a stacked deck in an unyielding and bias court room; Scott was able to expose truths regarding charges placed on my son and turn the prosecution's questionable conducts against them, thus allowing a jury of my son's piers to reach an overwhelming not-guilty verdict for 3 felonies and possibly 20 plus years in prison. Once again; I cannot facilitate enough positive regarding Scott and his associates that also entered our Defense Team; under Scott's guidance. Scott's years of experiences along with his integrity, dedication, resources and passion places him on a plateau above most within the Legal System. Thank You Scott, Bar none; you are second to none in the eyes of my family along with dozens of friends, relatives, and hundreds of citizens in our community who were supporting my son and witnessed his triumph. The comments and phone calls followed the not-guilty verdict for months by supporters with praise and thankfulness that my son was represented by a very intelligent and remarkable Attorney; including local lawyers and Judges whom commented the case would have been lost without the caliber of an Attorney such as Scott Riordan! Scott is "The Only Man" for your needs! Once again, Thank You Scott

Great guy, great attorney

Scott gave me the attention and time I needed. He kept me informed throughout the process, his experience was really impressive, and it really helped having him as my attorney. I would highly recommend using him if you're in trouble.
