Best experience I ever had....

You need a lawyer at the worst time. Telling the truth Mr. Anderson was recommended from a friend of mine and I am not going to hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need. Professional, honest and upfront guy. This is the attorney you need even if you think is out of his field.

Worth every single penny.

I met Scott through a different attorney for an unlawful stop case he helped beat the case. He also heloed me get my DRP on the first try. He is very professional walks you through everything that's going to happen and he's very honest. I've been his client for 2 years now and will continue to recomm...end everyone from family members to friends and associates for his services.

Dedicated and determined DUI defense

Scott Anderson defended me in a first offense DUI case 4 years ago. Essentially, he won the case for me twice. In the first instance, he built my defense on his own investigation that produced facts contradictory to the arresting officer's statement. Because it was a first offense, I was terrified. I...n addition, there were some personal extenuating circumstances that Scott handled with much sensitivity and discretion. I felt completely assured of his ability and determination to fight the charges for me. He was professional, knowledgeable and composed at the hearing. He also grilled the arresting officer; I was impressed by his passion to argue my case. After winning the initial motion to quash arrest and evidence, the prosecution appealed the case, to my dismay. Scott never gave up; he detailed the appeals process and what I could expect going forward. He was outcome oriented and continued to defend me at the appellate level, in which we eventually prevailed once again. Throughout the entire time, he was happy to take my calls, answer my questions and provide me with several other similar cases as comparisons. He was extremely thorough in his research and arguments, immensely experienced and intelligent, and above all, compassionate for my fears and anxieties. He accomplished my objectives and prevented me from being convicted of DUI. This very emotional and difficult experience changed my life - I have Scott Anderson to thank for everything he did on my behalf and its success. I would highly recommend him as a lawyer with an incredible amount of expertise in this area.
