Outstanding lawyer!!

I've never been in trouble with the law before, and I was terrified! Things changed for the better the moment I hired Scott Richardson as my lawyer. Scott's confidence immediately made me feel better about my situation. His professional, reassuring manner, and obvious mastery of the law had a calming... effect on me. He guided me through every step of the legal process. Scott was always available to me. If I had questions, he would always call me back within 15 minutes. He thoroughly explained the court process, and prepared me so that nothing came as a surprise. I had a complete understanding of what was going to happen. The resolution of the case went exactly as Scott planned it. It was as if he was in control of the outcome. He got two felony charges reduced to misdemeanors, without having to go to trial. I couldn't be happier with my lawyer! He got me my life back, and I did not have to serve any time in jail!! His rates were very reasonable as well. I highly recommend Scott Richardson as an attorney to anyone who finds themselves in legal trouble. He helped me, and he can help you too!!

A Life Line for an Out-of-Town Family

My wife and I came to the Orlando area with a family emergency and Mr. Richardson was recommended to us by a business associate. We were welcomed to his office and given prompt attention by his staff and had already began to feel a sense of relief. Scott was instrumental in helping us figure out and ...solve the problem that we had found ourselves in with exemplary professionalism. In short, his fees were fair and more than reasonable, he returned phone calls the same day, kept us informed of our case after we had left the state, and procured a positive outcome where our case was concerned. We would highly recommend Scott to any individual, couple or family that is in need of legal assistance.

Scott Lee Richardson Lawyer Extrodinare ! !

If you are considering hiring a lawyer for a criminal case in the Central Florida area you should quit looking at the Ads you got in the mail, quit searching the internet and immediately retain Scott Lee Richardson. Why do I say that? Let me tell you how he helped me. I haven't been in any trouble w...ith the law in over 15 years but when I was younger I got in alot of trouble so I do have a criminal record. I was visiting Orlando on a holiday weekend in July and I was arrested and charged with (1) misdemeanor and (1) FELONY I am self employed and not rich so I was appointed a Public Defender . a PD.A PD is a lawyer right? WRONG !! I was shocked on the first phone interview I a had with my Court appointed lawyer before I even explained my side of the story he said , You are guilty! Yes you heard that right my lawyer said I was guilty, without even listening to my defense. I then went to court for what they called case management my lawyer stood with me in front of the judge the first day I ever met him . The judge said to the prosecutor are you ready for the trial the prosecuter said yes then the judge asked my defense lawyer if we were ready for the trial and without talking to me he said yes we are. I said no we are not! I was granted a (1) month continuance.When I was on my way back to Orlando the next month I was scared to death.I happened to drive by a Billboard on I-4 in the Sanford area there was Scott Richardson's Ad. I wrote down the phone number and continued on to the Orange County Couthouse where my PD said they have offered me a deal (90) Days in jail, "JAIL" I immediately walked down the hall and called Scott's number His assistant Susan answered the phone I breifly told her my situation.She said you need to talk to Scott within 2-3 minutes Scott called me I told him my story and he said go back to the PD and tell him I will have a lawyer there in 10 minutes 8.5 minutes later here comes Scott Lee Richardson.He immediately took charge and told me not to worry. we will fix this. And fix it he did Mr. Richardson arranged a hearing before the trial and got all the charges DROPPED. Thats right, no fines, no court costs, no record, no probation, no communiy service, no missed work,no trial, no lousy deal, No BS DROPPED with an apology from judge I might add.I was so happy that this nightmare was over I cried like a baby.The way he did this was by beleiving in me and knowing the LAW! That was (3) Days ago and I still can't believe it. Thank You Mr Scott Lee Richardson Lawyer Extrodinare and Susan I will never forget what you have done for me! I do not recomend even coming into contact with the police in the Orlando area but if you do. Mr Scott Lee Richardson is the Lawyer for you!!

A Man of his Word

Scott Richardson has many fine qualities as a criminal attorney. My experience is Scott is a man of his word. If Scott said he would get back to me at a particular time he did. If he told me his staff would contact me they did. Scott and his team gave me the feeling that I was the most important ...client they had. If your looking for the finest criminal attorney in Central Florida Scott Richardson is your man......BTW all charges against me were dropped

Alison Kerestes

"Scott is a great criminal defense attorney, who gets the job done. As a former prosecutor, Scott and I had a few cases together. Scott was always professional, while advocating for the best result for his clients. Even after Scott had gotten the result he wanted from me, he took the time to compliment me on my own professionalism. This may seem like a small thing, but it goes to show that Scott is thinking ahead for the next client, and working to maintain good relations with the prosecutors he deals with. If you are in trouble, give Scott a call!"
