Jennifer represented a family member with his DUI. She was diligent and hard working, including the period of time during the Covid-19 impact issues. I/we would highly recommend Jennifer.

After contacting Jennifer Scott for a legal matter, she put me at ease with expectations and potential outcomes. Her professionalism and knowledge was evident. The outcome was better than I had prepared for. Jennifer was awesome to work with. I would not hesitate to hire her again.

one extreme happy camper..

In 2012,,,Jennifer was hired to defend me, I was charged with 3 drug charges,thrown into a conspiracy composed of twenty nine people I had never met.I was facing two 10 year to life sentences. 20 years to life! I plead guilty early on but waited 3 years for sentencing.During my 3 year wait I watched the other people in the conspiracy,receive from 10 years to 15 year sentences..After Jennifer's hard work,I went to court and received, Time served,3 years and 3 year probation..All I can say is thank you Jennifer..Then the follow up..She found my truck,in a impound yard,and had it returned to me..Thanks again......

my thoughts....

see... i've been in trouble my WHOLE life....some things i did do and some things i DIDN'T do. I've had lawyers that didn't give a _____ about me and my situations. But Jennifer did... she listened to me, treated me like a human being and not a criminal, and she fought for me at the time i needed it the most. the LORD ALMIGHTY sent her to me to fight because i really was innocent. she has done a great job and was aggressive in the courtroom. she really knows her S__t.....to all the people who are reading this, and looking for a lawyer STOP right here and give her a call.....TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!
