Scott Marvin Schlegel

I had retained Scott’s services back in 2001 to represent me as a criminal defense attorney over an incident that occurred in college. Due to the incident I was placed on academic probation pending the outcome of the case. Scott was able to clear my name and I was able to go back to school and comple...te my education in the sciences receiving my degree in Cell & Molecular Biology and I have been gainfully employed over the past 14 years as a scientist in the biotech industry. Thank you Scott for making my life undoubtedly better than what it would’ve been if that case’s outcome was any different than how it turned out. I was what you’d call a “late bloomer” as I wasted most of my 20s away doing “BS” and having run-ins with the law. For many years I had been wondering about my past and what my record like and so a couple of years ago I performed a live scan to obtain my record from the department of justice. My previous attorneys helped me in my endeavors, but didn’t complete their job in getting the cases properly dismissed rendering some charges to still be present on my permanent record! Well, as I had retained Scott’s services over a decade ago, I thought to call him up and discuss my findings. After discussing the cases I asked him if I could retain his services once again to bring closure to my “colorful” past. Even though the cases were over 20 years ago and outside of San Diego, Scott accepted! Well, apparently (but not surprisingly) the courts are overloaded with on-going cases and so it took almost a year and a half to complete what we’d sought to do! During this “quest” both Scott and Nikki Tran (thank you so much Nikki for everything!!!) have made it possible for me to rest assured that my past is now completely behind me, that there are no more strings untied, and that the future is whatever I make of it and my past won’t hinder any accomplishments I seek to do. In summary, I absolutely recommend the Law Offices of Scott Schlegel to whomever is in need of legal aid. Their stellar work ethics puts them second to none!

Scott Marvin Schlegel, is by far the most professional, respectful, empathetic and fair attorney specialized in criminal defense. After days of seeking for an attorney to help my case, Scott was the most transparent and only worked hard to aquit my charges. He put his client's needs first and gave ...his time generously to explain all details and steps. I'am very grateful to have found him and highly recommend him above all top San Diego Criminal defense attorneys. Thank you Scott for putting so much efforts.

first and foremost i must say that scott and nikki did a superb job working on my case , and winning it !! they remained professional even when i was off my meds in jail and did their best to get me out . i was being charged with two felonies and thanks to scott and niki i only have 1 misdemeanor. al...so i had another misdemeanor and they lowered it to an infraction , thanks to scott and nikki . they are very down to earth and are two of the nicest , most humble , and loving people I know . I was basically on my way to Patton mental health jail because i was classified as mentally incompetent, but once again thanks to scott and nikki i didnt go , which I tell people is a miracle , but in reality it was because of the hard work of scott and nikki. i always carry around scott's business card with me just in case a friend of mine needs an amazing attorney. hands down , my life would by no means be the same without the legal help of Scott and Nikki . thank you scott and nikki

I hired Mr. Schlegel to represent me on a DUI charge. I met with five attorneys who advertised for DUI cases before meeting with Mr. Schlegel. After meeting with Mr. Schlegel, it was like night and day as to the amount of knowledge he had in the area compared to other attorneys. He met with me in... his office for over an hour and discussed all aspects of my case and possible defenses. He never asked me for a penny and said the consultation is free. I hired Mr. Schlegel and at a great price and he ended up getting the charges dismissed. Do yourself a favor and meet with Mr. Schlegel if you want a true attorney who actually returns your calls and keeps you up to date on your case every step of the way.
