When it comes to a lawyer with heart

When you're fighting to protect your children, you need an attorney who understands that family law isn't just about paperwork and court dates - it's about kids' lives and futures. Scott Becker got that immediately. From our first meeting, he listened to what mattered most: keeping my kids safe, stab...le, and protected. He didn't just build a legal strategy; he built a defense that prioritized my children's wellbeing above everything else. His approach was both aggressive when needed and thoughtful about how every decision would impact two kids who deserved peace and security. I'm grateful that Scott never treated my family as just another case. He understood the stakes, fought like hell, and gave my kids the protection they needed. When everything that matters most is on the line, Scott Becker is exactly who you want in your corner.

No better lawyer than a former judge

“Judge Becker was able obtain a complete dismissal of my case. When I came to his office, I was scared this case was going to ruin my upcoming college and be a mark on my record to get a good job. He was able to walk me through the process and left knowing I was in good hands. Because of his years ...as a former prosecutor and judge, I felt much calmer about the situation. Within a month he had obtained a complete dismissal. I would absolutely recommend him to any of my friends, and will definitely call him again if I need any help.”

Judge Becker helped my son

Last year my son had an incident at school. My son faced serious criminal charges even though it was a mistake and misunderstanding. We hired Judge Becker, because of his experience as both a former prosecutor and former judge. He knew how the process worked and was able to get the charges dismissed.... I absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants an experienced lawyer who knows how to get things done. I hope we never need him again, but if we do, I will definitely be calling him

No better lawyer than a former judge!

When I was falsely accused of a crime I did not commit, Judge Becker was exactly the lawyer I needed. He was able to convince the Grand Jury of my innocence and they rejected the case with a No-Bill. I was facing a second degree felony and possibly 20 years in prison. I was scared this case was going... to ruin my career and possibly my life. His experience as a former judge really put me at ease and gave him extra weight with the Grand Jurors. I absolutely recommend him to all of my friends, and will definitely call him again if I need any help.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
