Honest and integrity
My family and friends have used Scott’s services and expertise for various cases over the last 20 years. He’s not only reasonable and fair, but also honest and works with integrity (most things I wouldn’t stereotypically describe a lawyer to be). He has been a great source of knowledge in the realms ...
Scott Alan Borthwick's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse Scott. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Simply the best criminal attorney in California. Worked on many cases with Scott. A truly great trial attorney. An asset to his clients and the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Scott works tirelessly seeking justice for his clients. His passion inspires. In the past, I have sought his opinion on various legal matters."
"Scott is an outstanding DUI lawyer."
"When I was a prosecutor, I had the opportunity to watch Scott in action when he had a case where his client was falsely charged with robbery and some of my colleagues in the office adamantly refused to believe in the client's innocence despite the rather obvious proof. You can Google "Borthwick" and "Ochoa" and read about the press this case received. In the end, Scott's client was proved innocent. This was the first time I had seen Scott in action, and I was immediately impressed by the qualities I saw in him. He devotes himself steadfastly to his clients' cases, represents them with compassion, and has no fear of trying difficult matters. It is rare to find a criminal defense attorney who is as aggressive as Scott is, but is also the consummate gentleman with unquestioned integrity. He has a great deal of respect within the legal community. When I decided to open my own law practice, Scott was one of the very first attorneys I called for advice."
"I endorse this lawyer's outstanding work. Mr. Borthwick is one of the best criminal defense trial lawyers in Southern California. I have seen his work first-hand and know how hard he works to make sure that each of his clients gets the best result possible whether it's an acquittal, dismissal or a great plea agreement on what other lawyers would say is an impossible case."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Scott is a skilled lawyer who cares deeply for his clients. I am unfailingly impressed with his knowledge of local court practices, particularly in Santa Ana, CA., so have often called him for an insider's advice on those judges and prosecutors in Santa Ana who make important decisions in my own client's lives."
