About Scott
Biography
I am a 1995 graduate of Drake University Law School, with honors. I did my undergraduate work at the University of Iowa, graduating in 1990 with a double major in political science and Russian language. My partner, Michael Clark, and I went to law school together and were prosecutors at the Des Moines County Attorney's Office before moving to private practice. We have 25 years of experience in criminal law, family law (including divorce and child custody) and other areas.

Replied last February 10, 2016This client was particularly difficult, as he often refused to listen to 20+ years of legal experience. He complained about numerous aspects of the law, including child support guidelines, and blamed his attorney when the other side rejected his proposals. I have many, many e-mails and phone messages between client and counsel to refute this person's claim of lack of communication. An unfortunate example of a parent who placed more importance on the financial aspects of having a child and threatening the other parent's new significant other than focusing on resolving the case. The client's case was finalized within days of my withdrawal, and no other attorney entered an appearance on his behalf, so client's claim that he hired a new attorney for a fraction of the cost is, shall we say, lacking in credibility.
