Scammed

Scott Pederson was hired to do two things and time has been an issue, but he decided to do something else. He has spent a year doing nothing. He fails to take calls unless he feels like it. He lied about receiving a payment and basically has held the work he chose to do for fees. I have never met an ...attorney like this man. He is definitely not about his client. I would not recommend him to anyone. I am having a problem believing he is a licensed attorney.

Spend your money wisely

I retained Mr. Pederson to represent me in a fairly simple criminal case and it was the biggest mistake I've ever made. Without going into too much detail, I will just say that this man is all about money and does the bare minimum. He tells you what you want to hear in order to gain your business and... then drops the ball and is almost impossible to get in contact with when it really matters. You're better off sticking to a court appointed attorney than to waste your money on Mr. Pederson.
