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!

Avvo Rating

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.
