Fantastic Representation!

I've retained Scott on a couple of instances and his work is very thorough. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the law, very well known and respected within in the court, and I couldn't be happier with the end result. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Scott made a bad situation much...much better!

Scott Patterson is the best attorney I have ever worked with. He was kind, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I had never needed a criminal defense lawyer before but I got arrested for a DUI and Scott got my charges reduced. In the end the money I paid Scott was well worth it!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I first met Scott when HE referred a case to ME -- I had extra capacity and he had a case or two that needed some extra hands -- so I got to see what kind of lawyer he is by taking over a case he had been working for a while. I can say from the inside that Scott is thorough and diligent in putting his cases together and has a terrific tactical mind and ability to find the crucial details in piles of evidence. He also clearly cares about his clients and puts their needs first. In selecting an attorney to handle an injury case, or a DUI or other criminal charge, Scott should be at the top of your list."
