Great Attorney!

I hired Scott to represent me regarding a reckless driving citation I received while passing through Carroll County, Va. I am an out of state resident and was very fearful of the possible consequences associated with this charge, not to mention I was required to attend court. Scott handled everythi...ng for me at the first court date without the need for me to appear in person. Scott was able to reduce my reckless driving charge to a non-moving violation, with no points being assessed to my license or insurance. This was a great result and I am beyond satisfied with Scott's professionalism and efficiency throughout this process. Better yet, Scott's fees were very affordable compared to the several other law firms I called in the area. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone looking for great representation. Thanks again, Scott!

Following a RD ticket for speeding in Carroll County, my mailbox was flooded with lawyers dire warnings of jail time and $1000+ in fines. Scott’s letter was calming and thoughtful, which is why I called him. I called two others as well, but Scott was the only attorney who i actually had the privile...ge of speaking with. He was reasonably priced and delivered on his confidence in getting the charge to a non-moving violation. He returned my calls personally and was patient with my questions. I recommend him!

5 plus stars

If I could give any more stars I would. We got a reckless driving ticket at Caroll county and every law offices I called kept saying that's the hardest county to deal with and they asked for tremendous amount of money before taking the case. I talked to Scott on the phone and he was very pleasant and... personable. He said he will take care of it and he did. He got them reduced to non moving violation so yayyy!!! If I ever have anything else I need help with legally. He'd be the first person I would contact. Thank you Scott :)

Rackless driving charge reduced to faulty equipment

Scott delivered exactly how he informed me, he will represent and defend me in court during my initial consultations. Scott is very professional and very easy to work with. I am extremely happy with Scott's services and highly recommend him.
