Worst attorney ever

Do not hire him he will not fight for you he works with the prosecution and don't care about his clients or getting the truth or finding out the truth when all the facts are right there to prove your innocence he doesn't communicate at all and works with the prosecution to pad his own pockets even if... the client life is on the line he is the absolute worst attorney ever

While not caring about victims. Unfortunately, Scott always wanting to win is going to end up getting me and or my family killed. Thanks a lot Scott

Outstanding Attorney!!!

Scott Moore worked very hard as my Attorney to understand my case and full filled his promise to fight on my behalf in the Court to have the criminal charges dropped. When ever I spoke to Scott he would spend the time listen and answering all questions to learn the best way to resolve the matter...... Thank You

Scott did a great job helping me out

I hired scott to help me with my charge in which it was very important for me to keep an alcohol offense off my driving record for employment. I feel he did a great job of negotiating for me and was of great value to my outcome. I would recomend his services.

true and honest advice

I have not yet had the privilege of working with Mr Moore in an actual court room but the reason for my rating here is while looking for an attorney for a pending case Mr Moore was very quick to respond and gave me a lot of valuable advice to use even if I DIDN'T retain his services. He was not just ...about the money he seems to really show a level of professionalism as well as a true concern for even potential clients. He was very reasonable with his fees and was very straight forward. In my opinion Mr Scott Moore is someone worth his weight in gold and if all goes well I will be retaining his services fully. I think a relationship with an attorney starts with the time you dial their number and from the time Mr. Moore called me back until we hung up i think he has earned my trust.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
