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 th...e 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!

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 recove...ry 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.

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 tim...e, 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!

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.
