Scott was highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. He has over 30 years of experience so chances are good he has seen your situation before and will help you figure out the best path forward. He takes time to listen and understand and is very responsive. Would recommend to anyone in need of a great attorney they can count on.
I was scared. I faced three felony charges in business and basically thought my life was over. I didnt do it, and Scott believed me, and basically held my hand. Best Attorney ever, and the charges were inevitably dropped due to his hard work. He got all three dropped. All of them, and well deserved because it was all BS. The beauty in all this, is when I get done suing the folks that put me through that ordeal I'm going to send Scott half the settlement, kidding, but I cant thank him enough. He was rough around the edge and very forward with me, but that's what you need when your facing trouble. Best damn Attorney ever.

Truly the Best
Attorney Williams is a miracle worker. I had made a huge mistake and was facing potential jail time. I was terrified, but Attorney Williams made me feel reassured and worked with me to make the process as easy as possible. The outcome of my case was better than I could have ever hoped for or imagined in a million years. Thank goodness for Attorney Williams!

Misdemeanor Drug Possession
I hired Scott C Williams after being arrested in May 2017. I met with Scott based on his experience and reputation that I had learned researching online. When I sat down in his office there were numerous awards for #1 Attorney in San Diego which was very reassuring. He appeared for me at my arraignment so I did not have to miss work and called me to notify me all my charges were dismissed after the hearing. Throughout the process he was professional and communicated very clearly and thoroughly. If I had to hire an attorney in the future Scott C Williams would be my first choice! Thanks again Scott.

Absolute Best Choice In San Diego
I was recently charged with two extremely serious felonies and one misdemeanor that would ruin my life. I was referred to Mr. Williams by the Attorney General of a nearby state, and I am beyond grateful for what he did for me. He was able to get all three charges dismissed for a plea agreement to a very minor misdemeanor. I do not think anyone else could have accomplished this. Not only is he extremely experienced and competent, but he is well known and respected by fellow defense attorneys, judges, and prosecutors alike. His sheer ability and knowledge coupled with the respect and admiration given to him by all facets of the legal community make him hands down the best choice.

GREAT!!!!
I was given a MIP at a country concert a little less than a month before I turned 21, Scott got this taken off my record, no fine and I never had to go to court! This made it easy to focus on my studies at school and not have to worry about getting my license taken away! I recommend him to everyone!

Great Service
Got arrested for domestic violence . Hired Scott to defend me, who went to work immediately to make sure charges were never filed. Accomplished this without me ever having to go to court.
Scott would answer his phone or returned calls almost immediately. He was extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. If you ever get in trouble, Scott is the one to contact.

Simply the best attorney in San Diego County
Scott recently represented my daughter in a difficult DUI/ Hit and Run case. Not only was Scott easily reachable and communicative, he really went the extra mile to help guide her every step of the way. Through his vast experience and expertise, Scott was able to get her charges reduced from a DUI with enhanced penalties and a Hit and Run, to a standard DUI with minimal restitution and sentencing. Without Scott's efforts, the outcome would have been significantly more severe and would have taken months versus of a couple weeks to get resolved. We are extremely grateful.
I would strongly recommend Scott to anyone facing a criminal charge. He is hands down the best attorney in San Diego county.

About my experience
During Memorial weekend of 2014 I was cited for a MIP in San Diego, with me being 20 years old and my current job relying on me to drive I could not afford to loose my license. I figured the best way to go about this was to hire a lawyer. I read up on many reviews, talked to many lawyers about my situation and since I had no connections in San Diego I had to go off of reviews and credibility. Scott Williams was the lawyer that I felt would best fit the situation. His reviews were outstanding, he was very knowledgable and was able to answer every questions that I asked. After telling him my situation and what I could afford; he allowed me to make payments to him and was generous enough to work out a price with him. Williams is upfront about everything, emails back right away, and is completely confident is what he is doing. I would recommend him to anyone. After appearing to my court hearing and my following trail, I had no license suspension, my ticket was dismissed and my fine was reduced from 500 to 100 dollars. I couldn't thank him enough. I believe Williams is professional and worth every penny that you spend especially for him being a lawyer for over 33 years and knowing the ends and outs of it all.

Outstanding in Juvenile Matters
Scott Williams was there for our family to help us out with a Juvenile matter. It is beyond evident that Mr. Williams is extremely experienced in legal matters. He is upfront about where you stand, what he can do for you and the potential outcome. It was a relief and a comfort to have someone who kept in touch throughout the process and promptly responded to our inquires. Our sincere appreciation to Mr. Williams for showing us options that we didn't know we had and for taking action on those options to help produce an outcome that we were more than happy with.

An excellent lawyer
I hired Scott for a family member who was in big trouble for drugs.
Scott walked me through the whole process from beginning to end and everything he said would happen, he was right on.
He really helped me and my family member, and in the end, got a much better result than I expected or really hoped for. He is the best and I would recommend him highly for any serious matter.
