Knowledgeable and easy to work with
I have never used a lawyer in my life. Scott, took the time to go over all my options and help me along the way step by step. Communication was great on his part and we got everything done in a timely manner. He is very knowledgeable while still being able to explain things simply and straightforward for you. I will definitely be calling Scott back if any legal trouble comes back my way.

I have worked with Scott on a number of complex cases over the years involving both the Federal Communications Act of 1934 and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. I have always found Scott to be an excellent lawyer who is very knowledgeable, creative and articulate. He is a pleasure to work with and I strongly recommend and endorse him.
