Scott Robert Herndon

He has repped in in two situations that both panned out better than expected. I met him on the tennis courts and felt due to his fiery demeanor on the courts that he would bring this same energy to my case. I took a chance with him and boy, was I right. I true tiger both on and off the court. What else I also appreciated about Scott was my ability to call him on his cell and talk to him man to man. No secretaries blocking for him and waiting days for a return call. Just as my doctor, I insist on being able to have a cell phone number I can call directly. This means everything.

Scott is a magnificent lawyer and I truly appreciate his services. I went to him in a time of turmoil and in desperate need of help for a wrongful death action and not only was he warm and welcoming, but selflessly went out of his way to make sure myself and my family felt as comfortable and taken care of as possible. He and his paralegal were very efficient, they worked fast and they did everything they said the would do. Even after everything was over he continued to check in with my family to make sure that we were okay. He is more than just a great and thorough lawyer, he is a extremely kindhearted person who truly cares about what you are going through. He'll go above and beyond for you to get the job done and make sure you get the closure you need. I will forever be grateful for his services and for his support.

When you are already dealing with a terrible situation with your employer, you’ll find the process of trying to find an employment attorney to be cold, bureaucratic and impossible. Of the ones that bother to respond, many firms want you to fill out pages of intake forms before speaking with you because they only take cases with big payouts. Thankfully, I found Scott Herndon who was the bright light at the end of a dark tunnel. He takes calls, he listens, he understands, he is on your side. As an executive for a Bay Area tech company, Scott and his co-counsel were able to help me through a complex separation agreement and reach a settlement that was favorable. I could not have negotiated through this without his help. I find Scott to be caring and humane, qualities so hard to find in attorneys. I highly recommend his services.

I truly have to thank Scott for the work he has done in helping me with a Hit and Run. I have had no issues communicating with him. He immediately picked up the phone, if not, called back within the hour. He was extremely understanding of how I felt and had at least three different avenues of moving forward with my case, from pursuing the opposing insurance, to my insurance and later, the California Victims fund. His free consultations are also full of extremely useful information. You will gain a better understanding of your situation by simply giving him a call.

This was my first experience having to hire a Lawyer. Scott was absolutely amazing. From the first moment my wife and I spoke with him he put us both at ease, and continued to do so even when things were looking bleak. I was hit by a car when riding my bike home from work one night. to make things worse, I had no memory of the incident. The police report was written without my account of the event, and they deemed me to be liable for the accident. With bicycle replacement, medical bills from surgery, loss of income from being out of work... things were nightmarish for me. But Scott handled my case with genius! He was able to flip the case 180 degrees and show that the initial assessment of liability was incorrect, and get me a settlement I was overjoyed with. I had a good friend go through a similar situation, and his personal injury case was resolved in approx. 8 months start to finish. Scott was able to have my case resolved in 2 months!!! While a resolution that fast may not be ideal for everyone, it was nothing short of a miracle for me in my case, as I wanted a quick resolution. Not only will I always recommend Scott to anyone and everyone, he will be my attorney for life. 10/10 I cannot thank him enough, he was phenomenal.

I called Scott to seek his advice regarding a severance agreement. The agreement differed from the terms that I was told I would receive. Scott reviewed my documents and contacted the employer the very same day to reach a favorable resolution. Scott is very knowledgeable, proficient, responsive and pleasant. I highly recommend Scott. I am very pleased with his services and would not have received a satisfactory resolution without him!

I was in a unique situation where I was expecting a conversation with my boss about my concerns, at a start-up, and was told it was my last day. I had gone the distance in my role the past year and even was recognized by the company just 4 months before for pulling off a major campaign and for my contributions to the company. The agreement I was being pushed to sign, was concerning and did not work for me to move forward. Scott Herndon and his colleague, David Wolf got on the phone with me right away. They are skilled, listened to my concerns and they brought this matter to a fast close. They improved the agreement such that it was win-win. When I was notified just a week and a half after meeting that we had an acceptable agreement in place, I found myself crying with relief that I could put this painful event behind and move forward successfully. I was completely grateful for how they advocated for me.

I reached out to Scott when my previous employer refused to pay me my last paycheck. Scott was very eager to help me out with my situation, he was very resourceful and knowledgeable. He got my previous employer to pay me for my last month and I can't say how grateful I am I came across Scott. I would definitely recommend him to anyone going through the situation I was in.

Scott was great to work with. He represented a family member in a complicated employment dispute and negotiated a settlement with the employer that would not have been possible without his help.

Scott was a pleasure to work with, he was professional, compassionate, friendly, positive and extremely knowledgeable. Our daughter was in a motor vehicle accident in the Bay Area. She was hit by a car while walking across a crosswalk. We reached out to Scott looking for advice as we knew it could be a difficult case to prove. We live in out of state and we knew we needed the help of a California lawyer. All of my communication with Scott was by email and phone, our daughter met with him in person and he made her feel very comfortable – she felt heard by him. With Scott's help, we were able to resolve the case and feel justice was done and fair compensation was paid out. I would highly recommend him.
