I take pride in the services I provide for my clients and work hard to treat everyone like I would want to be treated. I understand that being charged with a crime is very stressful, so I do everything I can to make the process less intimidating. I worry about my cases so my clients don't have to.

Mr. Poole was very professional from the start to finish with my case. He got my case settled for which I am grateful.

I don't think I could've chosen a better lawyer. I am very grateful for everything Mr. Poole has done for me. I highly recommend hiring Mr. Poole if you want an honest and professional lawyer to help you with your case.
"Scott Poole is one of the best legal minds in our community. His experiences as a former prosecutor have only helped his ability to successfully navigate the criminal defense side of our legal system. Together with Ross Grisham, they form a great team."
"I endorse this lawyer. I always enjoy working with him. He's professional, knowledgeable, and a great asset to the legal community."
"Scott has earned the universal respect of the prosecutors, judges and defense bar. He will put his knowledge and experience to good use on your case."
"Scott is a fantastic Criminal Defense lawyer who knows the law inside and out. With his experience as a former prosecutor, he knows how to get the best result for his clients. I highly recommend Scott."
"I have had the privilege of working with Scott in the community for several years. He has a stellar reputation for being a thorough and highly competent litigator, especially in complex criminal matters. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a heavy hitting attorney in north Georgia."
"I endorse this lawyer. When I used to take court appointed cases in Cherokee County, Scott prosecuted many of my clients. He was always a man of his word which I wish I could say about all prosecutors. In one of the cases, I was about to win my case because one of the State's witnesses on the witness list was clearly incompetent under the law to testify to the main issue. A new Assistant DA was about to start the trial when Scott filed an amended witness list. I knew that the judge would allow it, and I was powerless to stop it. It was clear that the day had been saved for the prosecution, and that my client had to accept free room and board because Scott saved the day for the State of Georgia. If my client did not accept a little room and board, the judge would have given him a longer sentence. Knowing Scott to be the true gentleman and fine lawyer that he is, I am sure that he will "save the day" for many of his clients accused of crimes."
"Scott Poole is one smart and savvy lawyer. I worked with Scott in a district attorney's office. He taught me so much. No one knows drug laws and search and seizure as well as Scott. He works very hard for his clients, and he is easy to get along with. I fully endorse him."
"I have been on the opposing side of criminal cases while practicing criminal defense and have worked with Scott when I was the District Attorney in the Appalachian Circuit and Scott worked as the Sr. Assistant District Attorney in Pickens County. Scott is clearly one of the best criminal attorneys I have ever worked with. He has outstanding trial skills and is one of the most experienced trial lawyers in the area. I would not hesitate to recommend him."
