Attorney Scott Sanford has been a very good attorney for my daughter. He has worked very hard in researching all the evidence in her case. There has not been a time where I have called him, and he has not gotten back with me. Answered all my questions, searched the law. I would highly recommend him f...or your attorney if you should ever need one. You may be his client, but he will do everything in his power to represent you, protect. I put him next to God.....Thank you Mr. Sanford!!!

Highly Recommend

Did an outstanding job in my criminal case. Was able to predict the entire course of the proceeding and its eventual outcome. Having used other Criminal defense attorneys in the past, I can say that there is none better! Thanks Scott!
