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.

Felony down to Misdemeanor
My case wasn’t a normal open and shut case. I was caught driving while revoked DUI based (Which is considered a felony and jail time). Scott was able to work a deal 6 months court supervision, with misdemeanor and no jail time. Scott is a stand up attorney who won’t steal you money.

Forever grateful
I cannot thank Mr. Gordon enough! He was able to get my criminal case dismissed and I couldn’t have a better attorney. Every question comment or concern was always addressed and he made sure to never leave me in the dark.
