Great Attorney, have always had a good outcome with Scott!

Scott has been great to work with, he is very honest and fair, he gives you your best options right up front and let's you make the decision. But he will give you his advice on what your best option is, which is why you generally hire an attorney. He stays on top of things and gets paperwork done i...n a very timely manner and goes above and beyond to help you get done what needs done. I would definitely recommend you talk to Scott first if you even think you may need legal representation. He will be honest and let you know if you do in fact need him and if you do need an attorney you will be in good hands with Scott.

A Good Lawyer And A Good Man

I've used Scott many times over the years and the one thing I appreciated the most is that he's always straight about the situation, good or bad. There's no BS and no sugar coating, so you know what you're really up against. He's a good attorney-smart and down to earth in a relatable way.

You need to hire this guy!

Scott Harper is truly the greatest attorney I have ever met. I sought him out after the police charged me with DUI-D. I knew right after my initial consultation with him that he was the lawyer for me. He displayed a level of compassion for my case that is unparalleled by other attorneys. He was also ...upfront, honest and accurate about everything. The greatest benefit was having peace of mind during my ordeal. He handled all filings and correspondence promptly and communicated responsibly and fast. I did not have to worry about a thing. Scott Harper is a fighter. He treated my case as if it was his own. He drafted a brilliant motion that got vital evidence suppressed leading to the dismissal of my case. I cannot promise the same results for you but what I can guarantee is that he will provide the best possible defense and fight for your rights tenaciously. Very reasonably priced and an overall nice guy. I will hire him again if I am ever in need of an attorney. Highly recommended!

Great Lawyer!

Mr. Harper handled my case two years ago, he worked with me and guided me through the process. Recently I had questions in regards to probation, and my release. I left a message with his secretary about my concerns and he(Scott) was quick to call me back so we could discuss the next step!

If your looking for someone who will help on your case and want someone who will fight for what’s best for you and will not just feed you som...e lip service then he is your man!
