I have known attorney and colleague Scott Sanes for 30 years and have worked with him on numerous personal injury cases. During those many years, I have come to know Scott as a highly accomplished attorney, a true pillar of the legal community who is well respected among peers. Scott is the type of lawyer that other lawyers should strive to be and the type of person we should all strive to be. I am impressed by his commitment to his clients and dedication to his work. He is a man of the highest integrity and character with a relentless commitment to excellence and high ethical standards.

I have worked with Scott on numerous cases and consider him the best personal injury lawyer I have ever seen. In addition, Scott keeps in constant contact with his clients and is always available for a phone call when the need arises. If I were ever injured myself, I would hire Scott. Hands down, the best personal injury attorney around.

I endorse this lawyer. Scott is a dedicated and experienced personal injury lawyer with a successful practice in Texas. He is board certified in Texas in personal injury law. When Scott opened his office in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts near my law office I began referring him personal injury cases and I have observed his excellent work and great client service. If you have an accident case in Western Massachusetts, Attorney Sanes should be your lawyer.
