Wonderful attorney!

Scott knew exactly what to do in our situation, and he did it promptly at a reasonable cost. Would absolutely hire him again.

Scott went above and beyond

Through the whole process of my case I felt Scott was the only person who was there to help me. He was incredibly helpful with communication regarding updates or further instruction for me, along with being so patient as this was something I’ve never had to go through before. He explained everything ...I had questions on and did a terrific job with both my case and helping me navigate the information I was given.

Best Defense

I was charged with multiple felonies and basically facing spending the rest of my life in prison. Scott was my best option because of his background, experience, and knowledge, but on top of that he worked his tail off for me. I write this now not as a felon, but a free man. Scott was worth every cen...t he billed me for.

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.
