BRN Defense: Outstanding

In the days following my misdemeanor DUI, I was beyond devastated and thought that my career as a Registered Nurse was over. After I spoke with Scott for the first time, I knew he was the person I wanted to represent me. Scott took the time throughout every step of the process to explain things thoro...ughly and answer all my questions. Scott was knowledgeable, patient, understanding, and always provided honest feedback. In the end, I was able to keep my license without restriction. I would recommend Scott without hesitation and can’t thank him enough for helping me get through this incredibly stressful processes.

Professional, Understanding, and Compassionate

Scott has successfully represented me twice at the board of nursing with outcomes in my favor. He is not only an excellent attorney but also a undrstanding and compassionate individual. He truly cared for me as a person and sought the best outcome. He is very knowledgeable about the board processe...s and prepared me for what to expect every step of the way. I would definitely reccomend him to anyone.

Real estate license application and background record

I hired Scott Harris to help me submit my application to the Dre and also to help expunge my background record. I had a few things on my record from the past that I did not know if that would prevent me from getting my license. He is fully knowledgeable on the department of real estate's process. He ...walked me through it and is in contact with the DRE on my behalf. The attorney also helped expunge my record while dealing with the DRE. I feel that I am good hands with Scott Harris and his assistant Andy handling the case. I called a few other lawfirms and Expungement offices. His firm was the most knowledgeable the DRE's process compared to the others.

Very Happy

Scott helped me every step of the way through my case from day 1. After the initial consultation I knew this was the person I wanted to represent me. He was able to make sense of a rather unique case, and not only helped me get a very successful outcome but made me feel better along the way. His l...egal response was way beyond anything I could have crafted, extremely eloquent yet to the point, and I could tell he paid a lot of attention to detail and worked very hard on this. I have no problem recommending him to anyone who may need his services, he did an amazing job. I was so happy to finally get this legal matter put behind me, and it was all thanks to Scott.
