Great Attorney/Representation

I had a speeding ticket that Scott successfully had reduced to faulty equipment. I followed Scott's directions to take a driving course, obtain a copy of my driving record and Scott represented me in court without me attending. I am very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Scott to ...anyone needing legal representation in the Staunton, VA area!

Reckless Driving

I came to Mr. Baker after being charged with reckless driving which is a class 1 misdemeanor in Virginia. With consequences including up to 6 months in jail, license suspension, or up to a $2,500 fine, he was able to drop my misdemeanor completely and the fine came out to only $500. His work is profe...ssional and he is also very personable. Definitely would recommend.

Incredble representation

Scott has been a great attorney. Good communication and handled my case which was not easy, as I live out of state and was able to be in person. Later, when I failed to follow through with the court's requirements in a timely manner, he was patient and assisted me in rectifying the situation. I ...highly recommend Scott for any situation where you require legal counseling and assistance.

Excellent Service

Mr Baker was very easy to work with and resolved my case perfectly. He was professional, curteous and prompt in his communications with me. Since I am not from the area, knowing I had someone who could handle and resolve my case remotely was critical. He was a great value to me.

Quick, painless, no obiligations

I called Mr. Baker for help regarding a reckless driving speeding ticket. I was unable to attend the court date provided and Mr. Baker informed me that it would not be necessary. Upon my court date, Mr. Baker followed up (via email) letting me know the successful reduction of my fines to being minima...l. No worry, no work, no time invested. Great attorney! I would recommend to anyone. Sincerely,
