Scott R. Herndon

The Law Office of Scott R. Herndon has always had one goal: to stand up for people whose lives have been turned upside down and make sure they’re not outmatched by insurance companies or powerful institutions. Scott began his career in public service and complex litigation, working with the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office and the United States Attorney’s Office, and later, defending large organizations. That experience showed exactly how the system often overlooks and mistreats everyday people. This is why we represent plaintiffs today. Our office handles catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases and represents survivors of sexual assault, harassment, and discrimination in high-profile cases in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Hollywood, and throughout California. Our clients tell us they want to feel listened to and respected, not processed, and that’s how we work: We take the time to hear your story, prepare every detail, and follow through with academic and legal rigor. Scott brings academic excellence to his practice, with a PhD from NYU and award-winning teaching experience at Stanford, UC, and NYU. This boutique approach provides the opposite experience of working with a billboard law firm. This commitment to excellence shows in our results.
