Absolutely Fabulous!

I have known Scott for many, many years. Scott grew up in this wonderful community of Southwest Florida and is proud to represent the “Good People” who reside and visit. With his years of experience, impeccable reputation, knowledge of the law, compassion, honesty, concern and knowledgeable relations...hips with the prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement agencies, his ability as a defense lawyer surpasses all others. He has successfully had DUI charges dismissed/reduced for many of my friends, acquaintances, and my own brother. Scott fought aggressively for me with my fist DUI in 2002, second DUI in 2014, and procession of marijuana 2014. He went so far to speak to the officer at the scene of my arrest in Cape Coral FL. I Highly recommend Scott T. Moorey and Lance Dunford for any trouble you may or, may not be in. “Good People Do Get Arrested”

OUTSTANDING IN EVERY WAY!!! Above and Beyond Expectations!!!

Mr. Moorey was oustanding in every way. He and his staff handled my case with the utmost professionalism. Mr Moorey explained every step of the process in detail, set expectations upfront, remained in constant communication and resolved my case in an efficient timeframe. Best of all...outcome exce...eded the potential outcome stated upfront...which was as good or better than other attorneys I interviewed. That's not all. Mr Moorey and his staff went above and beyond and resolved issues that I was not even aware existed and no other attorney mentioned. He succesfully challenged and had dismissed the evidence which could have haunted me for years down the road. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE, EFFICIENT, AND PROFESSIONAL!!!

One of Fort Myers Best.

Mr. Moorey was lead counsel on my case. He is honest, dependable, trustworthy, and highly knowledgable of the law. He was very responsive to all of my needs throughout my case, and kept me informed of all new information along the way. His professionalism and compassion for his work shines through on... all levels. The alleged crime was a capital charge that warranted a maximum sentence of life in prison. Mr. Moorey worked extensively and diligently on my case, resulting in a verdict of not guilty. It is with my highest regard and the utmost respect that I recommend Mr. Moorey as a superb example of what a defense attorney should be. I am honored to have had him defending my case, and will be forever grateful for the service that he provided. Best Regards, J.M.
