Posted by Matthew | February 23, 2015 | Expungement

Expungement of my very serious felony charges.

For over three years now I have been working with Mr. Neudorff to end my probation early and expunge my record. It did not happen early due to the seriousness of the offense. However, within one month of my probation ending, Mr. Neudorff and his staff put together some great motions and not only had ...the felony expunged but also had the offense reduced to a misdemeanor prior to expungement. The dedication he and his staff showed in sticking with me for over three years was second to none. They very well could have given up or become negative but they always treated me with respect and kept my spirits high. He handled himself with professionalism and is an honor to his profession. I finally have my life back and I owe much of that to him and his staff. A big thanks to all of them! I highly recommend his services.

The Judge Dismissed My Case After Trial

My case went to traffic trial and the officer was very nasty. I was pretty nervous about appearing in front of a judge, however, Scot was very knowledgeable of the law and I felt confident that I had chosen the right attorney. If I am ever in need of legal representation in the future I am certain o...f where to turn. Thank you Scot for your caring, respectful and professional attitude. I would most certainly recommend Scot to anyone who is seeking an attorney.

very helpful

Mr. Neudorff was very helpful in my case. He kept me up to date with everything and always made time for me. He was knowledgeable about the case and found out more information that he needed. Mr. Neudorff worked on my case for a traffic infraction and got me off. I would recommend Mr. Neudorff..

I've got my life back

I have had the opportunity to work with Scot while working with Michael Scafiddi and he has learned from the best. My case originiated in 2006 and was resolved in 2008 favorably and to this day in 2013 they have continued to oversee and modify any discrepancies that have came about throughout the yea...rs. I had an issue trying to get a job a couple years back because of the information that was detailed in my background, but Michael and Scot and got it taken care of for me immediately. Furthermore, I had a DUI case in 2008 that went unpaid as of 2013 my probation was revoked and I was facing jail time, however they were able to get me a little bit of time to pay off my fine and reinstate my probation so it could be exponged and I never had to go back to jail. They are prompt and effiecient with how they have handled my case and I couldn't be more satisfied with the way they have handled it. I truly hope I don't find myself in another situation where I need their services, buit I can trust that they will take care of any situaion I may find myself in in the future and I have no problem trusting Scot.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Scot for over 13 years. First meeting him when he worked as a teacher. Seeing that he was a dedicated caring person I asked Scot if he would come work for my office. He agreed and has worked with me for more then eight years. While his role has changed in the office over the years one thing has stayed the same Scot's efforts to help our clients. He is the first person to arrive in the office and often the last to leave. His efforts have had positive effects for our clients. His ethics and efforts are well known in our legal community. His knowledge of the law and our local courts allow him to provide his clients great results. On a personal level you will not find a nicer more caring person.
