Relationship: Worked together on matter
Scott Herndon is a brilliant attorney and friend. We met during law school and worked together at the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office. Since law school, Scott landed top law jobs and eventually started his own law firm. I am honored to know Scott and to have worked with him over the years. I fully endorse him.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known Scott for several years and in many capacities. We are former coworkers, we have been co-counsels on mass tort litigation, I have retained him myself for his consultation and expertise, and most importantly, he is a true friend. Scott is professional, prepared, and passionate. These are qualities every client wants in a lawyer. He will go above and beyond to get the job done. The practice of law is more than a job to Scott. I provide my full endorsement for him.
