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!!

PHENOMENAL PROMINENT CRIMINAL DEFENSE AND FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY

PHENOMENAL ATTORNEY, 100% SATISFIED with the results that attorney Scott Richardson obtained for my case. I have known Mr. Richardson from a distance for many years as a prominent criminal defense attorney and now can say he is one of the best attorneys I have come across throughout my life. As a pr...ofessional, I always do things by the book and have had to use attorneys for numerous real estate contracts, transactions and development, child custody and divorce to name a few. From my experience he is one of the most meticulous, attentive and attention to detail lawyer that I have witness. Mr. Richardson's demeanor and respect towards others stands out above and beyond the typical attorney. He has a strong rapport with the judges, his staff and clients alike which means to me he runs a tight ship. I would recommend him over any other attorney for both family and criminal defense law. I truly believe that Mr. Richardson is an intelligent and savvy individual whom you cannot go wrong with for retaining as your attorney. Personally I came to Mr. Richardson when another attorney in this town dropped the ball with my case and could not be trusted. I was in a hurry and in need of an attorney that could get my case moving and ultimately the job done in a difficult situation where others failed. The issue was concerning visitation and custody of my precious son. Mr.Richardson handled things methodically setting top priorities first and accomplishing each task that was put in front of us with quick execution and finally obtain our objective goal. I had my son within hours after he took my case! The overall end result with all issues at hand was, well, I will say again, just PHENOMENAL!!!! After working with Mr. Richardson I can now surely state without a doubt, that I recommend him at the highest level.

Dedicated Lawyer who works hard for what is right and Challenges what he considers wrong!!

Choosing an attorney is a weighty decision and due to the seriousness of the potential outcomes I interviewed 4 different lawyers before finally choosing Scott Richardson to represent me in both a Civil Family lawsuit and again less than a year later I retained his services in a Criminal matter. Bot...h of these court events went all the way thru the judicial process ending in difficult and challenging trials. Through my experience in having Scott Richardson as my attorney I saw firsthand that he is an attorney that makes a commitment and then fulfills it. Scott consistently demonstrated his credibility and trust to me, the judges involved in my cases, the jurors and even opposing counsel. Scott Richardson fought relentlessly for my cause with respect, intelligence and grace. Scott took mountains of information from my personal case and translated this information with clarity and power bringing about victorious results in both my Civil and Criminal Court cases. Scott was relentless on a number of fronts - his court room presence, power of persuasion and gifts of changing the conversation and producing the right outcome are in part that he uses his own life experiences to enhance his gift of practicing law. In closing this brief summary of my personal experience in using Scott Richardson as my attorney I highly recommend him and his offices as a go to if you ever find yourself in need of a highly qualified, competitive attorney. Their are many attorney's and then their are those that are called to practice law - Scott has that Fire in the Belly to practice law - He is a True Lawyer in the finest degree. My life is better for having the privilege to have had him represent me -

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
