About Scott
Biography
I have the knowledge, experience and steady determination to help you in your most difficult time.
Whether you're charged in local, state or Federal courts, you need an attorney who is dedicated to preserving your rights and protecting your future. I've handled thousands of cases in the courts of Northern Virginia, and I can help you. I'm happy to answer your questions; I do it every single day, so pick up the phone and give me a call!
For two decades, Scott C. Nolan has steadfastly sought justice for his clients. He’s received referrals and top reviews from those he’s helped. He is committed to winning justice for those charged with crimes in Manassas and throughout Northern Virginia.
If you’re charged with a crime, attorney Scott C. Nolan will examine the state’s case against you and determine the right strategy for your defense. If the charge against you cannot be reduced, dropped, or dismissed, you may exercise your right to have your case heard by a jury.
If you’re innocent, Scott C. Nolan will fight aggressively for your freedom and your good name. But if the evidence against you is overwhelming and a conviction is certain, he may recommend – and negotiate for – a plea agreement that provides for reduced or alternative sentencing.

Highly recommend Scott Nolan
We (my son and I) used Scott Nolan twice. Mr. Nolan communicates well. He addressed all of our concerns before going to court. Mr. Nolan was courteous and respectful both times we used him. The outcome of the court case was actually better than what we had expected!!!
Scott Christopher Nolan's Lawyer Endorsements
"Scott Nolan is always fully prepared in his cases. I have been impressed with both his knowledge of the law and his performance in the courtroom."
"If you have been arrested for DUI in Northern Virginia I'd recommend that you interview Scott... there's plenty of lawyers who will take your money and plead you guilty... Scott will explain everything to you before you begin so that you can make the best decision for your situation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Scott's knowledge and overall mastery of the DUI laws in the Commonwealth of Virginia are second to none."
"I referred an immigration client to Scott for a criminal concern. I provided English-Spanish translation so that my client and Scott could understand each other. I was impressed by the way Scott handled my client. He explained the charge levied against her and the judicial process very thoroughly. He also articulately described the possible outcomes in the case. Both my client and I were satisfied with the knowledge and professionalism that Scott exhibited."
"I endorse this lawyer. Scott's knowledge and understanding of the Traffic and DUI laws in the Commonwealth of Virginia are second to none. Any Client would want Scott by their side when facing a DUI or Reckless Driving Charge in Virginia. I have noticed that Scott treats his clients, the Commonwealth and the Court with the respected and professional that is expected from an outstanding lawyer."
"I have spent time talking and discussing cases with Scott. He is always prepared, thorough and diligent. He handles every client with the care and respect that exceeds all expectations."

"I endorse this lawyer. Scott Nolan has proven himself in trial after trial as a strong advocate for his clients. He has impressed me with his knowledge of DWI defense, both when I've seen him present technical defenses in the courtroom, and when I've had the pleasure of talking about the latest DWI defense issues out in the courthouse hallways. It's refreshing to see that a lawyer has taken the time to study and learn the intricacies of defense work, as Scott has clearly done."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I recently had the pleasure of working with Scott Nolan as Co-counsel on a DWI case in Fairfax County Circuit Court. His work on that case was excellent, and I would not hesitate to work with Scott again if the opportunity arises in the future. Scott Nolan is one of the very few attorneys in Virginia who has a practice limited to DUI/DWI. This limited focus ensures his clients that they are hiring a full-time DWI attorney. As a member of the National College for DUI Defense (NCDD.com), Scott Nolan has acquired an advanced knowledge of technical, legal and scientific aspects of DUI Defense."
