Get the best defense you can, You won't regret it!

Ryan is a very professional and knowledgeable attorney. He helped our family through a very difficult case. Ryan explained the procedures we would have to go through and kept in constant contact with updates. Ryan always went above and beyond. This man truly cares about his clients and gives his all... to make sure justice prevails. Even after the case was over Ryan would check in. I would consider him more than our Attorney, I would consider him our friend.

Professional, Compassionate, Diligent Attorney

Navigating the justice system has been one of the toughest challenges my family has ever faced. We extensively searched for attorneys to bring justice to a M11 case. After a long search, we were fortunate to find Ryan Scott. From the start, his professionalism and extensive knowledge gave us the conf...idence to know we had the best defense attorney on our side. Though the battle was long and complicated, Ryan kept in touch and readily answered all our questions and concerns. We believe he is among the best in the criminal defense industry, and we were fortunate to have him on our side. Though my sister’s case was incredibly challenging, a major felony was dismissed and her sentence has significantly reduced. My family is forever grateful for his hard work and diligence.

Guilty

What if you're guilty? You STILL want to hire the best attorney you can find because the criminal justice system cannot be trusted to treat you fairly. I hired Ryan Scott as a guilty defendant, intending to own my guilt fully from the beginning, and he took my case anyway. Having never been in troubl...e before, I faced a serious felony (Measure 11) and was ready to throw myself "on the mercy of the court." People who loved me, much wiser than me and who knew about my situation, insisted that I get representation anyway. My second call was to Ryan. My first call was to an attorney who went overboard, even to the point of yelling over the phone, to try to scare me into hiring his firm. However, Ryan's approach, from the beginning all the way to sentencing, was compassionate and understanding. He ultimately protected me from prosecution that could have "heaped on" and got the best possible outcome for me, while respecting my desire to fully own my wrong-doing. He counseled me with wisdom and empathy while holding to my desire to do rightly. I watched his interaction with other lawyers, including prosecutors, and observed how deeply they seemed to respect Ryan as they appeared to be asking for his advice about the law. I got the sense throughout the whole process that Ryan was fully invested in my advocacy. More importantly, I came to understand the level of his competency and his knowledge of the law. He not only sees the trees (the relevant aspects of the law regarding my case), but also the forest (seemingly distant cases or legislative actions that might have real bearing on my case). His intuition seemed to always play out as he thought it would. The criminal justice system is adversarial by nature. Ryan advocated for me in that system with a sincere level of respect for everyone involved, including opposing counsel. While being willing to "set his jaw" against the prosecution when necessary, he always did it professionally with principle above passion. If you're reading this, my guess is that you're in serious trouble and need someone competent and honorable to stand beside you. Simple said: Ryan's your guy. You don't need to look any further.

Absolutely the Best!

Ryan Scott is absolutely brilliant in understanding the law on those that are accused of a false sex crimes! He should be the 1st on your list to interview. He doesn't sugar coat anything. He will layout a plan and advise the best way to spend your hard earned money on avoiding doing the serious time... that Oregon imposes on it residents. If you have already been convicted he has an excellent record of overturning convictions. Don't be fooled by any other attorney. These things take years to be overturned. Mine took 8.5 years on a 25 year conviction! I'm now home with my wife and my son. Ryan has communicated with me beyond my expectations, cried with me on my win and took my case very personally. The support that he gave my wife via email constantly was a life saver and went beyond what any other professional would have done! Thanks Ryan, your the best!

Simply the Best

Completely innocent. Imprisoned for a twelve and a half year sentence. Wife and three children traumatized beyond words. Family and friends crushed by the injustice of powerful men and women. Hope seemed small. Then Ryan Scott. Ladies and gentlemen, this man...this man saw my case, saw my story, saw ...my innocence and found justice for me. He saw things we couldn't see. He saw things professional lawyers who have been practicing for many years did not and could not see. But most importantly to me, he saw me. In tears of gratitude, sitting in my home in the presence of my wife and children, I am writing this review. There are no dry eyes among us. Ryan Scott saved my life, our family life. If anyone can save yours, it's him. Brilliant, professional, a straight-shooter, and has the credibility and respect among colleagues that you'd imagine a United States Senator would have. No one knows the law like Ryan. I find it impossible that anyone would regret hiring Ryan Scott for absolutely any legal matter. Although he has already been paid, in large sense I will always be indebted to him. Thank you, Ryan.
