Great Lawyer!

Mr. Brannen represented me for a D.U.I.D. and I must say, he did an excellent job at getting it dropped with my only conviction being a "Failure to Maintain Lane". He definitely saved me from having that permanent DUI stain on my record which I will be forever grateful. He was not only the best price... for a lawyer I found to deal with my case, he was a really genuine, down to earth, great guy. He made sure to keep me informed on any new info regarding my case and he was very good at quickly responding to my emails and phone calls. He was always willing to answer any questions I had at no charge, which is uncommon these days for a lawyer. If you want an excellent lawyer to represent you, at a reasonable price, who is willing to go that extra mile, I highly suggest you look him up!

Knowledgeable, Caring & Passionate Lawyer!

Scott is hands down an amazing lawyer and an amazing person! I got into some minor trouble in Florida nearly a month before I was leaving the country for the summer. I asked Scott to help and he delivered.. and fast! Scott worked hard on my case and had it all resolved without either of us ever havi...ng to go to Florida. I am forever grateful for what he did for me and would recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and caring lawyer to handle a case.

Trustworthy &

Mr. Brannen represented me in my DUI case and got it thrown out of court for an improper stop. He was very professional and explained the entire process to me during our first consultation meeting. In our original consultation meeting he stressed that he would exert his best effort and provide one-on...-one attention to my case. He is a very trustworthy lawyer and did everything he told me he would. Most of all his knowledge of DUI law and the court process put my mind at ease when I was so stressed about my future. After meeting with him I could tell that he knew exactly what he was doing and would give me the best outcome for my case. I would recommend Scott to any of my friends and family if they ever needed representation.

Great lawyer, nice guy!

Scott did a great job on our son's DUI. He filed motions and had a hearing where the judge ruled that the stop was improper and so the case was dismissed!

Liar/Rude

When i first met with mr.scott i thought he was the one. He told me my charges will be dropped. Later on he tells me 6 months of probation, then after that it went to charges being dropped again, then after that it turned out to be 3 months of probation. His assistant Juiley is also very rude. Everyt...ime i called to get hold of mr. scott she would tell me in a rude manner leave them alone and then hung up.
