About Scott
Biography
I have focused my legal career entirely on criminal law, as I have a passion for protecting those accused of criminal conduct from the powers that be. This passion is rooted in the notion that by protecting the rights of my clients', I am also protecting the rights of society as a whole, especially in the state-ist times in which we live.
Having earned a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara, I am accutely aware that unchecked executive power is a cancer to a free and just society. At the front line of the war being waged on society's freedoms and linberties, are criminal defense attornies, who provide the necessary check on governmental action, and fight to ensure that our society remains free and open, the essential hallmarks of Western Civilization.
Outside the courtroom, I enjoy surfing, hiking, and volunteering my time to help those less fortunate.

A caring professional who got the job done!
Scott is a true professional. In the moment that I needed him most, he was there. Aside from being a fundamentally sound, tactical attorney, what stood out to me most about Scott was his care and concern for me. The entire time I worked with him, I felt comfortable and knew that I was working with th...
Scott Colman Thomas's Lawyer Endorsements
"Scott is talented, hard working, and honest. He is committed to his clients and puts time and attention into every case. I wholeheartedly endorse him for any criminal defense matter."
"Smart. Committed. Charming. It is no surprise that Scott's results are so good. With his level of commitment to protect his client, he leaves nothing to chance. Without hesitation, I'd recommend him to a friend."
"I have known Scott as an attorney for several years. As a civil litigator, I am periodically confronted with crossover criminal issues in my cases. Scott is the first attorney I contact whenever I have questions related to potential criminal issues. In all of the matters I have referred to Scott, he has achieved overwhelming success."
"Scott is tough is nails, and I endorse him without reservation. On the one hand, he's going places since he's rather new to the profession, but on the other hand -- and most importantly -- he's already arrived. He knows how to treat clients well, and he fights hard for them. He's easy to get along with, but he can turn on the heat when need be. Any client is in good hands with Scott, and I can vouch for him personally."
