Handled my case quickly and professionally

I’m really glad I called Scott for a consultation. He was easy to reach, straightforward, and clear about my options from the start. I was dealing with a time-sensitive family matter, and he moved quickly with a solid plan. What I appreciated most is that he did exactly what he said he would do. N...o runaround, just honest guidance and effective action. His fee was reasonable, and he even gave me time to pay, which I truly appreciated. Professional, reliable, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

Grateful

Scott is by far the most professional, outstanding attorney that I have ever met. He accomplishes miracles when we don't feel we deserve them. Scott always lets you know it is his job to worry through whatever it is you are going through, it is your job to get better and do the work you need to do.... He was not only my lawyer, he was my best friend and cared enough to kick my butt when I needed it most. It has taken me five years to write this review because of the shame I felt as I am a professional and everything in my life looked great to the outside world but was so wrong on the inside. There were days I did not want to live due to the shame and guilt I was feeling. He not only got me through my current legal issues with very little pain, he constantly reminded me that I needed to live one day at a time and make the changes needed to live a beautiful, healthy life from then on. He never judged me and followed up by giving me the tools and encouragement to do the work. I can now say today, I called him to thank him and let him know he is one of the most essential people in my life and truly made a difference. He will always have your back and be brutally honest when you need it. I have recommended Scott to family and friends for many issues, including family law because sometimes we need someone who will not just coddle or tell us what we want to hear, we need someone who will tell us the truth, get to the point and get the job done. Thank you, Scott for showing me how to truly live my best life and get through the most difficult times I have ever been through. Today, my life is beautiful and I and I am truly thriving again. One day at a time.

Best Choice for Orange County and Apopka

I hired Mr Richardson when my cousin gave a recommendation and Mr Richardson's number. Scott met me on a Sunday and went over everything. I had criminal charges on me and Mr Richardson felt like he would get the charges reduced or dismissed. As predicted, the charge was dismissed! Mr Richardson is ve...ry well known in Apopka for his excellent work as it turns out. He has represented a number of people I know in Orlando that had amazing things to say about him. He is always prepared and informative. His office staff is super responsive and they speak Spanish. Everyone at the courthouse knew him when we went in, and I was treated very well. If you are looking for a superior defense attorney, look no more and call 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!
