Three Years - They Fought for Me Every Step of the Way

I can’t say enough great things about Mr. Scott and his paralegal, Ms. Janee. I was from out of state and found myself dealing with a misdemeanor charge while I was in Lawrenceville, GA for training at a store—definitely not a situation I ever expected to be in. From the very beginning, Mr. Scott ...fought my case tooth and nail. Being from out of state made everything more complicated, and it often felt like I wasn’t being offered the same considerations as a local. Despite that, he never backed down and consistently pushed for the best possible outcome for me. His persistence and dedication truly stood out. Ms. Janee was equally amazing throughout the entire process. She kept me informed, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood every step along the way. Her professionalism and support made a stressful situation much more manageable. This case took over 3 years to finally resolve, but thanks to their hard work and commitment, it’s now behind me. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend them to anyone needing strong, dependable legal representation.

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.
