Very helpful initial consultation

Scott was very helpful at my initial consultation. I walked into his office really nervous about my falsely filed restraining order case, as I have never had to defend myself in court. By the time I left his office I was a lot more comfortable about everything. Scott assured me that I didn't n...eed a lawyer to assist me in court for my particular incident, and that I should be fine based on his observations. He shared lots of valuable information with me and seemed to be very knowlegable about my particular type of case. The best part about the consultation is that it was free! I can definitely respect a lawyer who is willing to lend a helping hand, and who is not in the business strictly for monetary reasons. You really get the sense that he wants to help you, and that he's not "in it for the money." That alone speaks volumes in this day and age. Scott is also very professional, and easy to get ahold of. He responds to phone calls and text messages almost instantaneously. I would highly recommend Scott to anybody looking for a criminal defense attorney. I have now placed his number in my speed dial list. I don't plan on having to use it often... But you never know. Thanks Scott!
