Very Knowledgeable

I had contacted Scott for an assessment of my case and right off the bat I knew I had called the right person. Scott began asking me about every detail of the situation I had been in. He had set up a plan while on our first call together. Even though I had not contacted the DMV within the 10 day peri...od Scott had gotten me my license back so that I could continue to get to work. Scott and his team kept me informed every step of the way and were very professional. He had gotten my DUI dropped down to a wet and reckless and had walked me through the process on how to go about taking care of classes and court fees. Even after everything was said and done Scott gave me a call just to make sure everything went well. I highly recommend Scott and his team of professionals if you are in this situation. They know what they are doing and will take care of you every step of the way. Thanks again Scott.

Pilot stays out of trouble

My experience with Scott Henry exceeded my expectations for numerous reasons. Not only was my involvement in the process minimized due to his (and his staff's) detail oriented follow up, but the fine/penalty I was given was on the lower end of what I was expecting. As I am a pilot, continued employ...ment is contingent upon a clean driving record; numerous moving violations can adversely affect a pilot's ability to renew his/her license with the FAA. As such, when I was initially cited by the CA Hwy patrol, I was fearful of the consequences. Scott and his staff assuaged my fears, but also adequately explained both the best and worst case scenarios in a non "legalese" fashion that was easy to comprehend. His thorough knowledge of the process was effectively communicated, and the course of events occurred exactly as he explained. He didn't simply promise the world and paint a rosy picture, I feel as though he under promised and over delivered. The result was a manageable fine, and the equivalent of a parking ticket noted on my driving record. My cousin, an attorney, referred me to Scott and his firm; if this incident was serious enough for him to refer me elsewhere, I knew better than to hire my cousin, or to go it alone. I couldn't have been happier with the result.

Exceptional Representation

Scott Henry truly made my life easy. I could not have asked for better support. I had a case this summer, in which an incident occurred during a hockey game at the Honda Center, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, wearing the right team’s jersey! But because of what I was wearing, I was pro...filed to be the cause of the debacle. Security grabbed me and my friend, slammed us against the wall and treated us like criminals. The police then escorted us to jail to spend the next six hours because the security guards filed a false claim against us. Mind you I spent the last two years of my life as a prison guard in a maximum security prison, I am pursuing a criminal justice degree and spent four and half years of my life in the United States Army, so being treated like a criminal isn't something I ever anticipated in my future. From the very first time I spoke with Scott he alleviated all of my worry. He thoroughly explained the court proceedings I would endure and assured me that everything would be taken care of. He assisted me with every single legal step along the way. Scott took care of everything and as unfair and unjust my situation was he made the process very simple for me. I never missed work or had to attend court because Scott took care of it all. It was the most seamless court case I have ever been associated with. He justly defended me, and my integrity. He was always very timely in his responses to any inquiry I had and I was never left with any unanswered questions. In regards to my incident, it was a case of the wrongly accused and Scott and his team made sure that justice was served. Scott truly does go above and beyond for his clients, and for this I am truly grateful. I will recommend him to friends, family and anyone in search of an outstanding lawyer. Thank you again Scott!

Life Saver!

Mr. Henry is a great attorney. It was very apparent from the beginning that he truly cares about each and every one of his clients. Throughout my entire case Mr. Henry kept me informed making me feel as though I was his only client. In the end, Mr. Henry was able to reduce my case from a DUI to a wet... and reckless even though my blood alcohol level was a .24. He truly saved me from losing my license! I would highly recommend Mr. Henry’s services as he is knowledgeable and truly cares about the outcome of each case.

"Scott is an outstanding attorney. I think what seperates him from most is his "refuse to lose" attitude. He brings a tenacity to his defense approach that most attorneys do not possess. You add that to his natural lawyering skills and you get an outstanding criminal defense attorney that obtains phenomenal results. I fully endorse this lawyer."
