About Scott
Biography
I work for a firm, Krieg DeVault, LLP, which endeavors to meet all your business and individual needs. We specialize in corporate transactions, litigation, commercial and residential real estate, and estate planning.
As a member of the Firm's litigation department, I endeavor to resolve business disputes both economically and efficiently. Whether litigation becomes necessary or not, I pride myself on always being available to you as I know litigation, even just contemplated litigation, is very stressful and questions and concerns frequently arise.
If you think either my firm or I could be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Scott is top notch!
I have worked with Scott on and off for several years and I cannot speak highly enough of him. He is extremely competent, professional and compassionate. I have already recommended him to friends and colleagues who have needed legal services.

Responsive, Knowledgable Attorney
We have worked with Scott on smaller (for him) debt collection, real estate, and employment matters. Scott pursued all matters to resolution, and proved to be very responsive and knowledgeable. We enjoyed working with Scott and always felt like we were his only clients.
