Miracle worker

There are no words to truly capture how thankful I am for what Scott Pettus was able to accomplish for my case. Upon being charged with a 2nd degree felony, I began to look up several criminal defense attorneys and Scott was the first I got in contact with. I set up a consultation and immediately ...knew he was the attorney I wanted to represent me despite my family and friends advising me to visit multiple attorneys. Being my first charge ever, Scott was patient and explained to me what he wanted to accomplish and took the time to answer all my questions. Scott immediately began working my case and was in contact with the courts petitioning to file the charges as a misdemeanor instead of a second degree felony. At my arraignment, Scott informed me that he was able to accomplish just that. Being fresh out of college, having a great start to my career, a felony charge would have been the end of my career and ambitions. My future was in the hands of Scott, and I truly am forever thankful to him. As he continues to work my (now) misdemeanor case, I have the utmost faith that he will deliver the best possible results. While I hope to never have the need for him again, it is with confidence that I would recommend him to my family and friends if needed.

Excellent Service

I received a speeding ticket and was advised by the police officer that it was in my best interest to pay the fine and go to traffic school. I contacted Scott as he was referred to me by an acquaintance. The first time that I spoke to him he put my mind at ease. He explained the process and what he... needed in order to take care of my situation. After that point he took care of the rest, he ended up getting my citation dismissed, no points, no court fees and no fine. Thank you Scott for such a wonderful service. Will certainly refer him to family and friends!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
