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.

Professional and Skilled Defense Attorney

Scott was able to help me out on several occasions. Each case I brought to him, I was able to get out with a slap on the wrist or unscathed. I would recommend using Scott as a Defense Attorney any day.

Review for Mr.Gordon

Its very tough trying to figure out who you want to represent you in a serious situation, and also during a pandemic. i had a list of 3 lawyers recommended to me by a friends associate. I had to call them and i didnt know which to call first. I called the first two and told them the situation and wh...at they were saying to me didnt make sense. When i called the 3rd person, it was Mr.Gordon. I explained my situation to him and from there on out everything made sense. Great person and and even greater lawyer. Answered my calls and responded to late night/early morning emergency calls as quick as possible. Scott Gordon did not let a pandemic stop him from what he does best. Very professional and by the book. When i was in need of help during this pandemic, Mr.Gordon was there for me. Thank you Mr.Gordon for your support.

Excellent Lawyer

Attorney Scott Gordon is an excellent litigator. I have hired him several times. He will give you his best effort to help you out of difficult situations. He has helped my family with sound advice. Also, he has proven to be an outstanding negotiator. Scott can be counted on to dispose matters quickly.... efficiently and professionally. I do trust Scott to resolve issues.

If you are looking for an excellent attorney – look no further .

Attorney Gordon was referred to me by a coworker approximately 15 years ago. As long as he could minimize the damage I’d caused with as little disruption to my life, He was acceptable. I was surprisingly impressed. Attorney Gordon was definitely not what I’d expected. I’ve kept him as my “family” co...unsel since. Attorney Gordon has an unassuming way about himself when he communicates with me. I’ve observed, while in Court, that he is well known and respected amongst his fellow peers. I’m not the easiest client , by far, so I do appreciate Attorney Gordon’s client relations skills. He’s always answered my questions – no matter the time or day. Attorney Gordon has recently represented both my son and I on two separate cases against the same complainant. Because my professional license and my son’s future professional license were at stake, this was very important to me. After speaking with Attorney Gordon about my concerns, he assured me that he has had past experience with situations like mine – which was REALLY reassuring. Although our cases were set for trial, Attorney Gordon was able to get the ASA to entertain the possibility of a plea agreement. Attorney Gordon had quite the challenge because of the parameters of the plea agreement we would accept, but he had successfully brought an acceptable plea agreement to us just weeks before our trial date. Attorney Gordon is Superb in every way. Even through the COVID-19 pandemic, the level of his service, and expertise goes above and beyond. I will always reach out to Attorney Gordon first to help protect me and my family.

"I have been a colleague of Scott Gordon for over thirty years. When I was a Prosecutor in Chicago, and he was representing individuals who were in trouble, I always respected how hard he worked for his client. As a fellow defense attorney now, I can easily say that Scott is one of the hardest working attorneys that I know. He is extremely knowledgeable of the criminal law and litigation. He knows the value of cases. He shows up! As much or more than any attorney I have known in my thirty years, Scott is a fighter for his clients. I hope I never have to, but if I ever needed someone to represent me, I would would use Scott."
