Great Lawyer. Very knowledgeable about CDL holders

Got a speeding ticket in my personal vehicle well over posted speed. After talking with Scott Hanken about being a CDL holder, he understood the importance of the points going on my CSA. Hired Scott and he represented me in court and got ticket knocked down to a non-moving violation. Highly Recommend... Scott Hanken.

Wonderful, Down-to-Earth, Professional Attorney

I am 1,000% happy with my choice to hire Scott Hanken to represent me. I was stopped at a road block after a wedding and was issued a DUI. I called Scott a couple days later and he immediately took action. When meeting with him, he made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in the right hands.... Being my first DUI, I was terrified. But, Scott really ensured me that he would do everything in his power to help me. Needless to say, he is WORTH EVERY PENNY! I will not have a conviction on my record after 12 months of supervision, fines, and courses fo complete. He is a very sarcastic, funny, and welcoming individual and I immediately trusted him! I HIGHLY recommend this man to represent you. We all make mistakes, and he can definitely help fix them. :)

Simply The Best!

Hiring Scott Hanken was one of the best decisions, I have ever made! He is professional, helpful, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. Scott exceeded my expectations in every facet of the process. His assistant Carrie is also experienced and very helpful. So glad we hired Scott!!

Recommend this attorney to anybody in need of fantastic representation

100% honesty and professionalism are the best ways to describe my experience with Scott Hanken. Not only did he act diligently in order to ensure that I received the best outcome in my DUI case, but he laid out the entire process to me on the first day and made it extremely easy for me to fulfill the... tasks that he requested of me long before my *single* court date. I would most definitely refer my friends and family to him without hesitation, if they were to end up in a similar situation.
