About Scott
Biography
Hiring Scott was the best decision ever made. He is honest, sincere and went above and beyond! At best has heart of gold and will represent you as if he were representing himself. Reliable and efficient. I Highly recommend.
Attempt Murder Case-Mr.Gordon is incredible at what he does. From the moment me and my family met him, we knew he was the right choice. I was facing an attempted murder charge and he was able to get me 60 days of jail and 2 yrs probat. Thank you Scott! Saul Goodman of our time!- Former client
My sister in law was detained and on the day of her bond hearing it was said that she might have a hold with ICE. I immediately looked for the best immigration lawyer and Scott’s name was the very first one to come up, I got ahold of him and ever since our first call he was very helping ; effective
God Bless Scott Gordon!! 5.0 stars Posted by Jon April 24, 2018 I received a DUI when I was 20 years old - 4 years ago - and he treated my case like I was his son. Very personal and he would be as disappointed as I would be if he wasn’t successful in representing me.

ICE Freedom
Mr. Gordon was hired by my family in June when I was detained by US Customs and Border Patrol. During my 6 months of detention by ICE he has been nothing but helpful in the process of getting me out. If it wasn’t for him and his experience in the immigration law field as well as criminal, I would not...
