Would hire him again.

When you are in your "golden years" and find yourself in need of a lawyer, It can become very stressful. This is the position my husband and I found ourselves in August of 2015. We were very blessed to be referred to Scott Richardson for help. Our case took ten long months and Attorney Richardson was... always there to answer our questions and give us reassurance when needed. He was always available to us by phone and was willing to schedule an appointment when we felt we needed council. Our outcome was positive and I know it was because of the dedication and concern Mr. Richardson had for us. We weren't just clients to him. We were real people with real needs and he met them without question. I hope we don 't have the need for an attorney again, but I can tell you without doubt, I would recommend Scott to anyone. We have not only had superior representation, we have gained a true friend.

Fantastic Lawyer!

I cannot say enough good things about Scott Richardson! I was falsely accused of domestic battery charge in October 2015, which ended up leading into a custody case involving my 2 very young children, too. I called Scott Sunday evening around 8:30 p.m. and was freaking out talking a mile a minu...te over the phone to him explaining my situation. He calmly listened for a good 15 minutes and let me get it all out of my system and then agreed to meet me that very our at his office to discuss all the pertinent of my case. (how many other lawyers do you know that would do that?) My case was extremely complicated because we were not married and had paternity established and Joint 50/50 custody in another state but not in Florida. Scott was able to resolve both the criminal issue and the family issues. He was able to give me sound advice and urge me to take my case to trial. I took his advice and was able to have him file all the necessary paperwork to keep my kids in the state of Florida. Not only did he get the custody order from the other state recognized and enforced in the state of Florida but he also gave me excellent legal representation which led to the state of Florida dismissing all charges against me. I was not the easiest client to deal with, I'm sure, because I was an emotional wreck during this whole process but he never showed frustration or any signs of being annoyed by my neediness. He was extremely patient and very well prepared leading up to the trial and the day of trial. He prepared to go to trial even though he was very confident the state would not likely move forward... I am so very grateful for having Scott Richardson as my lawyer. I highly recommend Scott Richardson!

He Saved My Rear End, That's for Sure!

My title says it all. I was in a ton of trouble, and Scott Richardson saved my life. It was a drug charge, and I was looking at state prison time if convicted. He was aggressive and thorough from the start, and filed a motion to suppress evidence because of mistakes by the police at the time of my ar...rest. After a long hearing, Scott found lots of inconsistent statements in the arresting officer's testimony, and the motion to suppress the evidence was granted! What impressed me most about Scott was not just his attention to detail, but also the thorough way he researched the law, and came to court armed with all kinds of court decisions, much more than the prosecutor did. And before the hearing took place, he and his staff answered all of my questions, and were really helpful in bringing peace of mind to both me and wife. I never lost my job, never had to go to prison, and my life would be a whole lot worse right now if it weren't for Scott. I'd recommend him to ANYBODY, and he's my family's attorney for life!

Super Hero Attorney

My husband was in Florida for the month of December, 2014 and was arrested for urinating in public and was charged with a felony because he was seen by people. This was the worst nightmare we have ever experienced. We found an attorney who recommend Scott to handle our case. He was able to get the... charge reduced to a misdemeanor. He and his staff kept us informed every step in the legal process as this was a first for us. Thankfully, my husband was given probation and community service that could be done in the state where we live. We learned from someone else that another person who had another attorney, received a 3-year sentence for urinating in public. Scott and his expert staff were all professional and yet compassionate in helping us through this extremely stressful time. They provided top quality service and we were very, very happy with the result. We look at criminal defense attorneys in a new and positive light thanks to Scott.
