.....great experience and awesome outcome...

I'm glad my son was able to work with Scott. He was there from start to finish. My sons were charged with and went to trial on double murder charges. The case was pretty huge in Fresno, and it seemed as if the odds were stacked against us for many reasons. Scott kept us informed of things that were g...oing on, updated us with current information and saw my son through this rough time. Considering all the cases he handles daily, I didn't expect a whole lot in the beginning, however, I was proven wrong. I didn't feel as though my son was just another case on someone's desk. Scott was here for the family when he wasn't obligated to do so several times, and for all that he has done......I'm grateful and blessed as is my son. The charges for my sons were reduced to a Manslaughter - Imperfect Self Defense charge, which my family and my boys can live with, and that they believe was fair. You are awesome Scott and our family will never forget you. :-)

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
