This attorney was worth every penny.

I was stopped at the Sierra Blanca checkpoint an the dogs went crazy because my friend fro California bought edibles that were in the car. We both were arrested with second degree felonies. He was able to get my charges dismissed an I was able to keep a clear record. I am forever grateful for his exp...ertise.

Mr. Foster got my felony charges dismissed!

I was arrested at the Sierra Blanca checkpoint. A dog sniffed my car and found marijuana flower, a few edibles and a THC oil pen (the latter two resulted in felony charges). Mr. Foster was confident about reducing the felony to a misdemeanor, but he actually ended up getting all of the charges dism...issed. Thanks to Mr. Foster I still have a promising career to look forward to.

Great attorney to have on your side!

I was stopped at the Sierra Blanca checkpoint and charged with a felony for edibles. I have never been in trouble before and was extremely nervous about the whole procedure. From the very beginning, Mr. Foster was extremely professional and made me feel at ease with the process. He was able to get th...e charges dismissed. I would highly recommend Mr. Scott Foster for any criminal legal needs. His professionalism is unsurpassed.

Great Representation

I hired Scott Foster to represent my son after he was stopped at the Sierra Blanca check point and arrested for possession of marijuana. The amount he had resulted in a felony charge in the State of Texas. On the day of his court appearance, Mr. Foster picked us up at our hotel, and drove us to the s...ite of his appearance, almost 2 hours away!! Mr. Foster was able to get the charge reduced to a misdemeanor. My son plead guilty to the misdemeanor and received a fine. Scott Foster then drove us to the airport in El Paso and sent us on our way. Mr. Foster really showed his commitment to his client over the next few months, working with the Court and the bail bond company to file the needed paperwork and ensure that our bail money would be returned. We could not have been in better hands!

The man you want on your side!

Mr. Scott Foster is the man lawyer of the year as far as I'm concerned. I was spiked by the hounds at Serria Blanca federal check point for possession of marijuana, including edibles and concentrates. I'm a residence of Washington state. I have had a medical marijuana card for three years and have ne...ver been in trouble with the law much less ever been in court. Mr. Foster was a professional to the nth degree and assured me it was going to be ok. I was charged with two felonies which no one would ever want on their record. Mr. Foster had my charges dropped to misdemeanors and I paid my fines & court cost and got out of Texas ASAP. If not for Scott I don't know what I would of done. I consider Mr Scott Foster a must-have attorney. He's based out of El Paso and was so kind to drive me to court and back to court in Serria Blanca over a hour away from El Paso. A must have attorney when you're in a situation as I was in. Thank you Mr Scott Foster!

  • 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.
