Scott pulled off a miracle!
I accidentally brought some contraband through airport security in my carry-on bag -- I forgot it was there, but when security found it, they took it very seriously.

You get what you pay for
Scott was hired by my financer to take my case in Bloomfield Hills for a DWLS charge, and second DUI. (my first DUI was not driving while drunk, I had smoked marijuana within the last 12 hours and was driving) I blew .12 on the breathalizer. No traffic accidents were involved.

Replied last August 11, 2014I am sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with our services. Although I can’t be certain which matter you are referring to, when I am unavailable I refer cases to a partner and long-time legal mentor (with prior permission from the client). He has over thirty three years of experience in exclusively criminal law including several years of experience in private practice and as a prosecutor where he handled high profile media cases. Throughout his career he has successfully tried hundreds of cases ranging from simple OWIs to life felonies. The legal process is uncertain and demanding, and sometimes delivers results that none of us (myself included) are happy with. If there is something we can do to help, please contact me directly. Otherwise, best of luck with your future endeavors.
