Top Notch Attorney....Can I give six stars???

He is just a great attorney all around!! He has moral integrity and does what he says and delivers!! He will fight to get you a fair deal you will be happy with. His office staff especially Brittany will always let you know whats going on if Scott in unavailable never any run around or unanswered qu...estions. Which is what you need when you are in stressful legal situations. It helps that he is chummy with everyone at the court house never a bad thing :)

Not a better lawyer or person around

Scott pulled me through the most difficult time I have ever experienced. He was very honest and direct with me and extremely responsive. There is a reason he is one of the top attorneys in Dallas. He has an incredible ability to keep things in perspective. His confidence is contagious and he is a...ble to keep both clients and families at ease during very difficult times. He is a man with strong values without being judgmental in any way. He stayed in touch with me throughout the trial and well after. There is not a better lawyer in Dallas, his colleagues will tell you the same thing. Scott deserves every bit of recognition he receives. There is no better mix of confidence, humility, and generosity. You will not find a better lawyer or person than Scott Palmer.

This is who you want to fight for you

I contacted Scott the morning after I got my DWI arrest. Within one hour, on a Sunday morning mind you, he called me and said he would meet me that same day to talk about my case. He was so comforting positive and knowledgable from the first meeting until our last. I could reach Scott by phone or ...text any time of day and he immediately answered me! Scott is a wonderful man, more importantly he is who you want in your corner to fight for you. He goes over and above to get your fair shake. We talked about the many options, and what would work for me and my case. He not only got my case overturned but exspunged. I could not recommend anyone higher, as a person or lawyer. Start to finish Scott is a top lawyer and knows the law and is extraordinarily clever and how our judicial service works.

Top Defense Attorney

If your like me it was hard to get advice on how to find a good attorney. My charge was 3 years ago and I didn't know about AVVO at the time. I did some google searches and somehow luckily ended up hiring Scott. He was absolutely up front with me about all different scenarios (Ambiguity when facing c...harges is a horrible feeling). Something which I didn't expect but was great experience was how easy to contact Scott (and his team Brittney and J.R.) were. I could get in contact with one or all of them via text, email, or phone, every single time I tried. This was amazing to me, especially Brittney, if the attorneys were in court she would reply to me. I don't have to explain how wonderful this is when you have questions about your case. And finally, they got by case reduced to class C misd. I can't express my gratitude to Scott and his staff enough. Don't fool around with getting just any attorney, get Scott to help you, you will not be disappointed!

You won't find better than Scott!

After of the most traumatic nights of my life, I was left with a horrible DWI situation. I was driving from Shops of Legacy in Plano to Knox/Henderson in Dallas. I wasn’t familiar with the area so I was following the map on my cell phone. After almost missing the Knox/Henderson exit, I tried to cu...t my car across but ended up not fully making the exit. I wrecked my car and called the cops, but quickly realized the cop was more focused on the two mambo taxi’s I had at dinner. I was arrested after not doing that great on the field sobriety test and later blew a .19 on the breath test. Scott came highly recommended, and I couldn’t be more thankful I ended up with him. He was very honest that I had a difficult case but promised he would fight…and that he did! I had full faith and trust going to trial with Scott. He is tenacious, passionate, intelligent, and poised. I was blown away by his fire in the courtroom. Scott was able to point out many faults on the arresting officer, develop doubt about the liability of the breathalyzer, and emphasizes all the discrepancies in the case as a whole. Going into my trial, I tried to prepare myself for the repercussions a DWI conviction would have on my nursing career and my future as a whole. This was a difficult case that I’m sure many attorneys would never take to trial, but Scott is a fighter AND a winner. My case ended with a 100% unanimous jury and a “not-guilty” verdict. I cannot put into words how much respect and gratitude I have for Scott. He fought for my freedom and gave me back my future. He’s the best attorney and overall a great man. Plus, his whole stuff is fabulous. I could go on and on about both Brittany and JR too! You couldn't be in a better practice.
