The best of the best

I was in jail with a $100,000 bond on one charge, and a "no bond" on another. Mr. Palmer immediately got them both reduced to $5,000 each. Then his assistance with my bond made my release faster than I could've imaged. He was diligent in my defense, and managed to get me an unbelievable plea bargain.... He's professional, courteous, quick, and worth every cent! I would recommend him to my mother and my daughter. Scott Palmer is the best of the best!

Federal Case facing many years!!!

Attorney Scott Palmer plays chess, not checkers. When I think of reviews, it short changes the actual experience as words on a page can not account nor reflect the diligence, time, effort, resolve and tenacity that legal proceedings entails. It's an exhausting process that requires a solid team to se...e you through. Our family found that in Attorney Scott Palmer. He is more than a review, he is an experience. His years of experience are reflected in the quality of work he produces. He has tact, know how, humility and respect for the law. His valuable skill is one that is not seen in the courts often. Some lawyers you come across, they are seeking something from you and seem heartless towards your family, loved one and the process. I have to say, Attorney Palmer and his team have walked through this entire process with us. Mourned this transition and were delicate in approach; they did not mishandle our family. He is an amazing lawyer-negotiator who sought to leave all parties to include my family feeling like a reasonable outcome was achieved, rather than trying to run over the opposition. This did not mean that he got us less than what we were seeking but a fair outcome and one my family could feel good about the outcome. He managed expectations and has a warrior spirit. I know it seems cliche but he is definitely a ruby amongst gems. We chose him because he has put in the hours in and out of court; years of federal court experience and challenges of appearing in front of United States District Court Judges within our District; even know how with respect for the newest Judge sworn into the bench. Attorney Palmer understands people, personalities and the peculiarities of each judge. Some judges place more weight on emotion; others on the facts. He can differentiate. He is familiar with local, state and federal practice. He has defended many federal cases with efficiency, time, not over utilizing resources, centering the clients and families while reducing costs for all involved. I urge you to not hire a "good" Federal attorney, hire one with experience and proven successes. Hire Attorney Palmer. He has drafted correspondence, motions and briefs that are well-cited and well-written. He maintains a sense of decorum. He and his team get things done on time. He is confident and is prepared each time we see him. The top reason Attorney Palmer is a superb lawyer is his reasonable accessibility. He made himself available to us, and I did not have to beg him to talk with me. No matter the day or hour, he was responsive and he still is responsive; he has not abandoned us. He is flexible, reasonable, trust worthy and understanding. In the law world there is a saying "there's nothing more expensive than a cheap lawyer." Fortunately, I happen to agree; Attorney Scott Palmer will not take advantage of you or your resources. He has something that most attorneys lack, humility and his integrity precedes him.

Top-notch attorney who cares and fights for you!!!

Scott Palmer is a top-notch attorney. When your life turns into a real life “Lifetime Movie Drama” there is no better attorney to have on your side than Scott. Scott was recommended through one of my brother’s friends and after he took my call well after hours I knew he was the right man for the job.... Scott represented my young juvenile son who was charged with a felony. Due to unfortunate circumstances beyond our control my son was detained on a Friday and had to spend the weekend in juvenile detention. Scott took time out of his weekend to call and check on him every day and then relay the information back to me to let me know he was ok. Scott put me in touch with the right people so that we could get my son out of detention first thing Monday morning. Scott’s real skills showed in the courtroom; he knows the law and his client’s rights. Scott is fighter and fought hard for my son which ultimately ended in my son’s case being dismissed. If you are looking for an attorney who knows the law, is responsive, and who will fight for you, Scott is the attorney for you! I would also like to mention that Scott’s associate Rebekah is also top notch. Rebekah is detailed oriented and took the time to really understand and research my son’s case. Scott and Rebekah are a great team that I was glad to have on our side.

Extremely connected Attorney in the DFW Market

Scott is top notch. He's built strong relationships with several judges in DFW which ultimately benefits his clients and in this case, me. Because of the relationship, the judge was easy on us. Outside of that, Scott thinks outside of the box. He's determined to win, no matter if that means paying an... outside source with HIS own money. In my case, he hired a 3rd party to discuss my blood alcohol level and argue against the evidence. He's strategic, smart, assertive, thorough and connected. In the end , we won my case!

Courageous, Skillful and Effective!

I was referred to Scott as a potential defense attorney for my son, who had found himself in the middle of a very bad situation. Scott came highly recommeded by a trusted friend, we spoke for some time and I hired him on behalf of my son. He had very little time to familiarize himself with the case p...rior to the detention hearing and when he took the court room podium, I was absolutely certain we had hired an amazing attorney with polished skill. My son and I looked at each other in total amazement to the credibility that he demonstrated with his questioning and the methodical way he dismantled the Governments story. Who was once strong on the side of the Government, now sat with an agonizing look on their face, so as to say I'm done - it was amusing. He was meticulous in breaking apart their time lines, methods used to obtain warrants, pointing out violations of our Fourth Amendment, and boldly took on the Government in an appeals hearing. I always sat proudly from the first moment I heard him speak, examine and cross examine whomever was on the stand. He pulled out all stops for my son and me. We took some risks and they payed off. This is an attorney you can take chances with. With odds stacked against us, due to the Good Faith Exception, Scott brought fear and victory into the court room of appeals. He is someone that is caring, sensitive to individual situations and is not driven by money and instead he takes great pride in presenting a case that has the highest probability of winning. It was an absolute pleasure to watch him work. Other than the fact that my son found himself in trouble, I enjoyed watching the professionalism and skill that Scott brought to bear. I highly recommend Scott. I'm not an easy person to work with and he handled me with the same skill that he demonstarated in the court room. I also appreciated that he knows his limitations and when we needed an expert in the appeals arena he didn't hesitate to get the right people involved.
