Scot Thomas Neudorff Esq
About Scot
Biography
Prior to becoming an attorney I worked for eight years as a legal assistant/paralegal. I started working for a criminal defense firm before even attending law school. The practical knowledge that I acquired over those years have been instrumental in my ability to now practice law. I feel privileged to work in a field where I am able to help people on a daily basis and I find the practice of law to be a personally fulfilling career. An important aspect of my approach to representing client is that I care about my clients and believe in personal, one on one contact with them. I have been blessed to handle cases all over the State of California. If you find yourself in a difficult legal situation, please feel free to contact me directly and I will be happy to discuss your matter with you.

Complicated Multi-Charge Case Resolved
