An Impressive Attorney

Richard Scott helped my Father out of a potentially detrimental life altering situation. He handled the case with implicit professionalism and self control. I watched in amazement as he maneuvered through some of the most difficult of interactions with expertise and skill, resulting in a total triu...mph for my Father. I have as well, had to turn to him for legal advise only to have him put my mind at ease with sound legal guidance. i recommend him highly to anyone in need of good counsel, as he is by far the best and most highly capable Lawyer that I have encountered in years.

Beat a 2nd Time DUI!!!!

My family hired Mr. Scott for my DUI because of his experience! He kept me informed every step of the way! I just saw a negative post and I think THEY made a terrible mistake! Mr. Scott explained he often doesn't file discovery in advance because if he did, and we landed a bad judge, he wouldn't h...ave a reason for a postponement. That is EXACTLY what happened in my case on the first court date, and it worked!!! Then, he filed all motions since at that point he was in the case. We went to trial the second time, and he got a NOT GUILTY on all counts and now I am not banned from my dream of entering the military!!!! It sounds like the other lawyer who replaced him the day before court did EXACTLY what Mr. Scott planned to do! and he did it with 1 day to court so he OBVIOUSLY didn't have the discovery either - which also shows Mr. Scott was right!!! Except, since that person panicked the day before court, and didn't let him do his job, he ended up having to hire TWO lawyers and wasted his money!!! He should've trusted Mr. Scott like I did!!!!!!!

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.
