Great criminal law attorney

I faced some bogus charges that would ruin my life but Chris Scott was able to get it sorted out and keep this off my records. I definitely recommend.

Sooo happy to have been represented by Chris Scott

Mr. Scott and his staff did a wonderful job in representing me. I am so happy to have had such wonderful people on my side both in, and out, of court.

Chris Scott gets results

Very glad to be represented by Mr. Scott. He and his staff, especially Kathryn and Kay, worked so hard on my case and got great results. They were definitely willing to go above and beyond in representing me. A++

Awesome Job, Great Representation

Top Notched representation all the way around. I could not ask for better representation or attention to my case. Mr. Scott and his staff are the most professional, best prepared, and go the results I was looking for.

Terrible Attourney

This attorney has no resect for people and has called my wife a puppet and has never once exercised my rights to a attorney. After have been appointed this attorney by the state, I was never once contacted by attorney Chris Scott in over a year period while been appointed him by the state, and nearly... lost my children due to his lack of care or communication. I was fighting a dependency case for my two girls and was held illegally in the county jail for Contracting without a license for a year. I had been incarcerated the entire time illegally and he never once came to see me to give me any updates on my court dates, legal documents, or legal issues that were happening to my child. My daughter was bit by a Boxer at her temporary housing foster parent, and no one informed me of this incident. They even moved my children without letting me know. I have filed a complaint with the Florida Bar and took over two days to gather evidence and witness to get it mailed out. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!!! He had little respect for my family and would most likely do the same to yours. I suggest if you get into a situation that calls for a attorney, ick one who has care, sympathy, and is willing to do up and beyond what it takes to help you win your case legally.
