Scott Wilsdon is one of the best, if not the best, lawyers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is extremely smart, creative, caring, and has an unparalleled strategic sense. I simply cannot write an endorsement that adequately conveys his strengths and abilities. Anyone that has an opportunity to retain Scott is in great hands. I trust him implicitly.
