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.

Excellent attorney - cannot recommend enough!

If you are reading this review, you were probably arrested for DUI in the last 10 days and are going through the worst phase of your life. Thanks to my experience with Scott, I can tell you that this terrible time will come to and end in a few months and you will be able to get past it. Unfortunat...ely I was arrested for DUI in Feb 2015 in Big Bear California. I didn't know what to do, where to start. Our mailbox was spammed with newsletters from hundreds of lawyers. We searched on Avvo and Scott was one of the first lawyers I contacted. This was Day 2 and Scott heard me out and gave me very practical information about things he could do and some of the outcomes we could expect (best case/worst case). He never gave any false promises - which even though we might have liked to hear would not be good. I also spoke to about 5 other lawyers but I didn't have as much confidence in any one else. I contacted the other top law firms listed on Avvo but found that the reviews were often for the partners and I ended up talking to lawyers who were pretty new there. I went with Scott because I knew that he would himself handle my case. Scott's fees are very reasonable for what he was able to accomplish for me. Scott immediately filed for DMV hearing and got an extension on the temp license. He kept me well-informed about the progress at court . The BAC was 0.08 and Scott was able to negotiate with the DA's office to reduce the DUI charge to 2 traffic violations. I am soon going to get my license back! The whole process took about 6 months. Thank you Scott. We wish you all the very best in your career and thanks!

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.

Hire This Attorney!

I hired attorney Scott Henry because I was arrested for DUI in September of 2013 with a BAC of 0.12. I thoroughly investigated several attorneys to defend me and I chose Mr. Henry because he impressed me with his knowledge of the DUI laws and his aggressive attitude. After meeting with Scott I believ...ed that he would give me excellent representation and the best chance for getting the most favorable outcome possible. I was not wrong on either point. First came the DMV hearing which Scott was able to win. This was a huge relief! The DMV gave me back my license and I did not have to endure the problems associated with a license suspension. Next began the long drawn out process of going to multiple court appearances, gathering all of the evidence associated with my case and building a defense. Finally, Scott began negotiating with the Deputy District Attorney on my behalf. He knew the DA’s personally and how they operate. He knew when to be aggressive and when to back off. He was able to use this knowledge to get my charge reduced to a wet reckless. This was a major coup in my opinion. I did not have to endure the financial and long term impact of having a DUI on my driving and criminal records nor the humiliation that comes with a conviction. Scott did a fantastic job in leading me through the entire process and fought hard to get me the best possible outcome available for my situation. There is one final point I should make. You must take part in your own defense. I really liked how Scott encouraged me to take an active role in my case. Do your own research and pass the information on to Scott. Discuss your case with him. Together we were able to dissect my case point by point and develop a winning strategy. Many lawyers do not want your active participation but that is not the case with Mr. Henry. In summary I cannot recommend attorney Scott Henry to you strongly enough. Hire him and you will not regret it.
