I searched for a lawyer for a somewhat "involved" case of expungement for misdemeanor crime committed when I was a juvenile. It was covered by two separate statutes, making for some ambiguity. I must have talked to fifteen different lawyers whose opinions varied from "no possibility of expunction" to... "its a gamble" based on which district judge picked up the case. Mr. Edgett was not only better acquainted with the individual statues than the other lawyers, but he knew of the specific conventions with which these cases are handled in the Dallas area, and how we could proceed with near certainty of expungement. He was prompt, courteous, reassuring, approachable, and professional. My only frustration is that I wasn't able to find him sooner, as he did not appear on most of the relevant internet searches. A fantastic attorney, I recommend him with the fullest confidence.

When I violated my Felony Probation with another Felony, I was sure I was going to prison. Due to some abuse that happened while I was in a county jail, I came to see Scott telling him of my plan to commit suicide rather than go to jail. I was crying so hard I could barely speak to him. He took ou...t a Sharpie and wrote my 3 young children's names on my hand. Them he told me to go home and pack a bag and get to medical detox, and then rehab. Within 4 days, I couldn't believe I was ever in a suicidal state of mind. I would never leave my children like that. It was the pain pills (drugs) talking, not me. Once I was clean and home from rehab, I became very involved in NA. At Scott's recommendation, i had every meeting I attended signed on a form to show the court my involvement. I followed every suggestion that he made, and every thing he told me to do, I did. My cases were Theft, not drugs so the ADA didn't want to "cut a deal" because of rehab and NA. Scott went over their heads, and met with the DA, and was able to get me into Drug Court since I was stealing to support my habit. With 8 months clean, I start the Drug Court Program, and am placed back on Felony Probation. A true MIRACLE!!! He has told me this is my last chance, and I know without him and his advice I would not be alive today to have this chance. He is truly a good man who cares about his clients, and not just what the best deal he can get them is. He has let me pay out my balance over time, and has even been able to have my court date reset when I had a family emergency. When you hire Scott, you don't just get his extensive expertise, you get a good man with a good heart who ALWAYS takes into account his clients best interest. Even my 7 year old knows that Scott "is the man that saved mommy's life". I joke with him that he continues to pull miracles out of his pocket. He jokes back "just wait 'till you see me walk on water". I think he probably could do it!!! :). I trust this man with my life, and every aspect of it. I hope I never have cause to need an attorney again, but if I do, there is ONLY one name I would consider, and that would be Scott Edgett. He truly did save my life, and by doing that he gave my husband back his wife, and my children back their mom.

I view myself as a model citizen, but in this day and age you never know what events can put you in a bad situation. I found myself in some trouble a couple years ago and interviewed about half a dozen lawyers. What I found was a lot of well educated attorneys that could represent me, but Scott was t...he only straight shooter who did not use scare tactics to get me to hire him. Once I chose Scott to represent me he had an agreed sum that I was to pay. That sum did not change. Scott Edgett worked very hard on my behalf and did not settle for the states first offer. He definitely minimized the damage this could have caused me and in the end all charges have been exponged from my record. I couldn't have hoped for anything more. If in need of a criminal defense attorney don't hesitate and call Scott Edgett first.

We retained Scott to represent our 18 year old son on multiple charges and are thankful we did. Robert was facing charges on Unlawful Carrying of a Firearm along with multiple cases of Possession of Marijuana <2 oz, needless to say, we were very concerned about the potential outcome. Scott took the ...time to talk to us and explain what options we might have and what to expect out of the court system. He was patient with us and answered all of our questions, he made himself available to us anytime we had a question, including nights and weekends. Scott was incredible working with the DA, he was able to work out a plea deal for 5 cases, which was exactly what my son wanted. While as a mother, I wanted my son to avoid having a record at all cost by doing the drug corp program, it wasn't what my son wanted. Robert was beyond excited to find out that Scott was able to get him a plea deal of 20 days for each case to be served concurrently with credit for 12 days time served. He was also able to work out weekend jail beginning in two weeks, allowing Robert time to make arrangements with his employer. I am very thankful to Scott for all of his work on these cases and for making a difficult situation easier to go through. Scott's fees were very reasonable and having an option of a payment plan was so helpful. If I ever find myself in need of an attorney again, I will not hesitate to call Scott. He was pleasant to work with, informative and very down to earth. He has a real passion for what he does and he was amazing with making both my son and myself feel at ease with the entire process.

Mr. Edgett has helped my family beyond measures! First he helped my brother out of a hole we never thought was possible! And now years later, he is going above and beyond to help my husband through his case. He is very thorough, consistent, and trustworthy! Thank you sir for all you have done and are... doing! I would recommend Scott Edgett to anyone!
