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.

Scott Moore - Gave me freedom

I was searching for an Attorney through Legalmatch.com about a warrant for my arrest that had been issued a year ago. Every day, for a year I worried I would get pulled over and arrested and creating a bigger financial burden. I hated living in fear everyday so I finally took the steps to obtain an A...ttorney. My real issue with most Attorneys' is, I feel they take your money and your problems drags out for a lengthy time before it is dealt with or resolved. I received many responses from Attorney's on Legalmatch.com and I made my decision after reading their Bio's, reviewing their outrageous fees, and talking to them on the phone. After reviewing the Attorney's, I called Attorney Scott Moore on a Friday and did not have to play the voicemail or waiting game to talk to him personally. I made an appointment to meet with him on Monday in my living area, since I was afraid to risk driving any distance. Scott was more than happy to honor my request. We arranged to meet at Starbucks at a precise time. When I arrived Scott was already there. It is important to me that he realized my time is as valuable as his and did not keep me waiting. I have to admit I did have some fear going there and meeting with him not really knowing what to expect because of my outstanding warrant. We had a couple cups of coffee while I explained my situation with the warrants and a couple of additional law enforcement issues I have. Scott was a good listener and made me feel I could relax and be honest with him. After an hour of discussion he gave me advice and told me his opinion of how I should handle my legal problems and the steps that I should take. I fet confident and comfortable that Scott was the Attorney for me, as I listened to his own stories and background in law. Within 3 days of first meeting Scott, he had already scheduled a court hearing for me about the arrest warrant that was issued , the court date was set at that time for the following Thursday. Court day, when I met Scott, I explained that I was afraid to go to the court because I had other legal issues and was afraid of being arrest and if the judge wanted money at that time for fines or bail that I was absolutely broke. I asked Scott if he would go alone. We met across from the court house and again Scott was already there waiting for me. He explained I should go with him but he would understand if I would not. I decided to sit at the restaurant across the street from the court house while Scott went in front of the Judge without me. A half hour later Scott called me on my cell phone and asked me to come over to the court house that he had spoke with the Judge and I would be fine. I was worried I was going to be arrested for the warrants if I went in there. Scott assured me this would not happen and I would be alright. I put my trust in Scott and went in front of the judge. The arrest warrants and $5,000 bail bond were completely dropped. I feel relief and nothing but gratitude for how quick and efficient Scott handle this. This is the reason I hired Scott I just felt that I could trust him and he had my best interests at heart and not just out to make a dollar. I could not have asked for a better Attorney, he did more than an excellent job for me. I would like to add, that I have already seen progress in my addition legal issues in this short time. Scott has a wonderful legal aid that is always available for any information I need about my case and by using Jeff for such things as updates is a good way to cut some cost. If I need to talk to Scott Moore directly he has always answered my calls and been available or returned my call within an hour.
