Scott R. Herndon

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 becau...se 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 a...nd 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 con...tributions 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.
