"I strongly endorse Scott Key. He is one of the most talented criminal defense attorneys in Georgia and genuinely cares about his clients. He works tirelessly to get each one the result they desire."
"Scott is a brilliant criminal defense attorney and an expert at handling all kinds of appeals. His clients and even his opponents in court love working with him because he is fair and reasonable and treats you with dignity and respect even if you happen to disagree on the law."
"Scott and I have known each other for over a decade. He is one of the most brilliant legal minds I have ever met. He is one of the attorneys I call when I need help. I am endorsing him without reservation or hesitation."
"Scott Key is amazing, one of the most brilliant lawyers I have ever seen. Scott fights hard for each and every client that he has."
"If you are looking for an appellate lawyer you can't go wrong with Scott. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table and has a keen eye for spotting legal issues that many attorneys would simply miss. But even beyond his knowledge and skill I have a great deal of respect for the passion he brings to the table in defending his clients."
"Scott Key is a fantastic lawyer. A Westlaw or Lexus search will quickly reveal the high caliber of this talented Georgia lawyer. He appeals, he wins. I am not alone in recognizing Scott as a smart, professional and effective attorney. Judges and prosecutors respect him and know that he will take a case to the next level and prevail. Winning on appeal is not easy, but Scott applies his intellect and experience, and gets results. If you need to appeal, you need to talk to Scott. An effective appellate lawyer is a blessing for all Georgians. When Scott wins an appeal, lawyers all across Georgia, from Jasper to St. Mary's, can rely on his work to defend their clients. Protecting the rights of citizens is hard work and Scott's dedication to the Constitution helps to bring justice to those who deserve it and fairness to the entire court system."
