Recommendation

Great Lawyer, led by direct communication and honesty about the case.

I am so grateful to have found Mr. Dormer. Aside from his expert handling of the case, and amazing communication every step of the way, what made me happiest was that after a physical injury and all the fear that comes along with healing and facing PTSD, Mr. Dormer took all the stress of managing the insurance companies and bills off my plate. I was able to focus on healing because he handled everything else. His patience explaining it all to me and his directness about what to expect were spot on. THANK YOU!

The Law Office of Scott Bradley Dormer was established by Scott Dormer to provide a superior level of personal service and results to his personal injury and business clients. Years ago, Mr. Dormer realized that the ideal law firm would combine a long lasting, personal relationship with each client together with the most aggressive and professional representation possible.

Mr. Dormer's firm is completely different from most. Mr. Dormer personally develops a close relationship with every client.

Mr. Dormer's clients receive copies of work done on their cases and always know what is going on with their case at any given time. Mr. Dormer sees his clients as members of his extended family and treats them as such.

Recommendation

Scott is a wonderful lawyer who help me after my auto accident with all of the legal paper work and negotiating with insurance companies. It's nice to work with an honest and competent lawyer. I would recommend Scott to my friends and family.

Scott Bradley Dormer is a phenomenal attorney!!!

When it came to my car accident, I interviewed Scott and immediately liked his demeanor, his honesty, and his confidence. Besides the other party's lack of integrity, everything that could delay my case happened, including Covid-19. Scott kept the course, advising me through every step of my recovery and through the lawsuit. His guidance was invaluable. He was always available if I had questions or concerns. When things got tense, Scott assured me it was just "a part of the process" and encouraged me to remain calm. He was a formidable negotiator during mediation and instrumental in settling this case without going to trial. Scott's professionalism and expertise in personal injury law resulted in the best possible outcome for me. I enthusiastically recommend Scott and appreciate his hard work and due diligence. Thank you, Scott.

Always Recommend

I was in two car accidents that left me injured. Scott was recommended to be that did everything to look out for me and get the best I could. I delivered and I cannot recommend him enough. It was scary to call a lawyer but it was worth it.

Scott Dormer is the Gold Standard

Hopefully, you will never need an attorney to represent you in an auto accident, but if you do, you want to be represented by Scott Dormer. After I was injured in an accident, I reached out to a number of attorneys via Yelp and I was immediately impressed by Scott's knowledge, trustworthiness, and approachability. Scott helped me successfully settle my personal injury claim in just a few months, during a pandemic. I spent hours talking to Scott on the phone and he always made time to answer my questions, explain the situation, and listen to my input. Scott is the gold standard and I will be personally recommending him to everyone I possibly can. Thank you, Scott!

Highly recommend, I’ve used him twice

I have hired Scott twice for accidents approximately 10 years apart. Unlike other attorneys Scott responds to emails and phone calls in a timely manner. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Each time I’ve used him he has provided excellent counsel and results.

Justice and Integrity

Scott Dormer is an exceptional being! When I asked Scott to take my case, many mis-steps had already transpired. His counsel was both wise and efficient. The steps he guided were decisive and meticulous. Scott's ease, experience and intelligence created a speedy and surprisingly satisfactory outcome with his "legal mellifluence", remedying two previous years of frustration and dead ends. My appreciation turned into admiration and then heartfelt wonderment as I learned Scott gave his services to me, gratis. Warm, caring and beyond generous, Scott's stellar character made a significant life-affirming change in me, just when I had given up hope of obtaining justice or meeting a lawyer with integrity! Scott, Thank you again! I am truly grateful, more than you know!

Hire Scott!

I hired Scott Dormer to help me out with a pretty scary car accident. He would call to check in on me after every doctor's appointment. He would talk me through the legal jargon, so I understood what I was signing. He was diligent with filing my paperwork and never missed a deadline. From time to time, he would apprise me of the status of my case. He fought for me when others did not believe in my case. He never wavered and always had my back. I had difficulty driving for an extended time after the accident. So, Scott drove me to a couple of our legal engagements. Scott was there for me when I needed him. In the end, Scott resolved my case to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Scott Dormer as a personal injury lawyer. He's simply the best!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!

It was about 4 years ago when I first met Mr. Dormer. I actually found him on Avvo when I was reading reviews and trying to attorney. I couldn't have made a better choice. Mr. Dormer has represented me (and family members) on more than one occasion for car accidents. My most recent injury involved a trip and fall. Once again Mr. Dormer handled the case from beginning to end, all the while keeping me informed - that is just the way he operates his business. You always know what's going on with your case and you know exactly what correspondence he has sent on your behalf to the other party. Any time you call him he responds back the same day (no later than the next day) via email or with a return phone call. Mr. Dormer has even responded back to me when he has been on vacation. He never rushes you and always takes the time to answer any questions you may have and explains things where you fully understand. Mr. Dormer is very, very honest (which is very rare these days). He's very professional, straightforward, fair, and will definitely fight for you - he truly gives your case his all. Thanks again Mr. D. La Sundra

Scott is the man!

Never having had an accident, I was rear ended on the freeway over two years ago and the other guy’s insurance company was extremely uncooperative. I was referred to Scott who took on my case. One month later I was rear ended again, another uncooperative insurance company, and Scott took on that case too. Despite handling all the issues with significant medical visits, dealing with the 2 instances jointly and separately and my constant questions he handled everything calmly, confidently and professionally. Not only did he get me a settlement quickly but gave me a great education in navigating the complex accident and insurance laws in California.

He advised importance of Statutes of Limitation

My personal injury case is complicated. He did not accept my case at this moment. He indicated clearly the importance of California Statutes of Limitation against the responsible defendants with the proper court. I specially thank him for his professional opinion. I would consult with him for any future personal injury case.

Best Representation Ever

I was referred to him by my Insurance Agent friend and I am so glad that she did. When I had my personal injury accident I was completely at a lost, afraid and was very skeptical on who to turn to. However, after calling Scott, he was just great, gave me back my confidence and composure. He is very straightforward, organized, quick to act, efficient, knowledgeable, professional and ethical. He is also very easy to get hold of, either by phone or e-mail. With all these traits, he was able to settle my case greatly in a timely manner. He is also a good negotiator and persistent for the best resolution. I will never hesitate to refer him to anyone, specially to people I care about.

Trustworthy and successful!!

I know I made the right choice in selecting Scott to represent me. He is honest, straight forward, hardworking and has excellent communication skills. He took care of everything for me and took a realistic approach to the outcomes of the case. I would recommend Scott to anyone needing representation for an auto accident. Thanks, Scott!

Want To Win? - Outstanding Attorney - Knowledgeable, Compassionate, Effective, Savvy

Having grown up amidst a family of attourneys - the nicest way I know how to put this is - I have a little too much journeyman's intel on how they tend to work and what one might expect from hiring one. They usually have a number of Clients, and as most businesses work - they need to put their time, energy, and heart where the $$ is. Therefore, when the need arose for finding someone good who could pursue what I already knew to be a challenging case (given how stingy the courts can now be and how limited the return on a lawyer's investment might be even after hours of solid legal work on a case...) --- let's just say that I already went in with my expectations 'well managed'. Not only did Scott exceed EVERY expectation I had, in terms of effectiveness, knowledge, follow up and follow through... he was exceptionally compassionate, involved, and kind. You would think those two things (compassion and effectiveness) would be mutually exclusive in an Attorney - not so with Scott. -- Even during the Christmas holidays - when you would EXPECT not to hear from anyone regarding business - Scott was in communication, reassuring and following through in the most detailed manner. Again - I come from a great deal of experience with The Law - moreso than the average layperson who watches LAW & ORDER - and he did his research and follow up so thoroughly that he not only managed to 'one up' our adversary (a MAJOR Brand and Corporation) every step of the way... he made sure I understood exactly what was going on at ALL POINTS. I've had to work with a few attorneys in the past. They were what you'd expect. Fine. Doing their job at a bare minimum because they're stretched too thin and don't get paid their value in alot of cases. Scott was so beyond Excellent in all regards - it seems confining to just write a review on Yelp. Did I mention... besides the process no longer being overwhelming and a bit intimidating (as it can be for anyone who's had to go up against a major Corporation) -- he made it enjoyable...? Yep. He made each call a pleasure. Buried the lead here... but: we won a case 99% of the legal world said couldn't really be won. (Technically - we forced the other side to Settle for far more than we expected going into the case). In case you're wondering my own pedigree in ability to judge a proper attorney: went to UC Berkeley, graduated suma cum laude, am successful professional in the world of Entertainment - so I'm used to my share of b.s. and 'smoke'. This is for Real. Scott Dormer - is exceptional. Meet him. Hire him.

A really professional and effective Attorney!

Attorney Scott Bradley is extremely knowledgeable and effective. He explains all the steps and options so that you don't feel pushed into making any decision and he truly has your best interests at heart as evidenced by his effectiveness. You can be confident that he knows what he is doing, which alleviated a lot of stress a concern for me. He s forceful and yet kind at a time when it can be confusing after an accident. I would recommend him without any hesitation.

Best Service You'll Ever Get

Scott recently represented me in a PI case. Things have really changed since the 1990s when I had my last PI case, and Scott guided me through every step of the way. Most lawyers I've tried to hire will never talk with you and give your their assistants, no Scott. You will never have issues getting in touch with him period. Scott, returns my calls, answers my emails, and was very patient and courteous. He bent over backwards at settlement time, giving me the best possible settlement. Scott told me every case is different, but you will never find a better profession who is realistic, honest, and has true class. I can't say enough things about the great service I received. My case was penitence compared to other cases, yet, I still received the same service as if it was a big case.

Client of Scott Dormer

Scott was an excellent resource during my car accident case! The other insurance company was rather nasty and hard to deal with. Scott easily won a fair settlement and got me more than I would have on my own. Additionally, he was easy to work with and saved me a ton of time! Next time I need a personal injury attorney, I'm going to him again!

Excellent lawyer

Scott is knowledgable and ethical. I never had to wonder if he was looking out for my best interest, I always knew he was. Scott kept me well informed throughout the case. There was no need to call him he kept me updated on a regular basis via phone calls and email. I highly recommend him.

Posted by Heike | November 21, 2011

It would be a BIG mistake not to hire Scott Dormer as your attorney

Scott is very personable, thoughtful, communicates clearly, represented my interests effectively and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He settled my case before trial and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer for personal injury cases and/or business matters.

"Scott is an exceptional lawyer, highly skilled in the area of personal injury litigation. I worked closely with Scott on a number of cases and his insight and experience were invaluable. At a recent deposition, Scott saw quickly the vulnerable areas of defendants story and gracefully, politely and calmly exploited those areas to our great advantage, all well within the confines of fair play and justice. Scott knows well how best to develop a personal injury case, is a strong advocate for his clients and achieves remarkable results both in resolving cases in advance of trial or, if necessary at a jury trial. Therefore, I strongly endorse Scott."
