Ryan Scott is the best defense attorney in Portland. He is very straight forward with his approach. He is knowledgeable on criminal law and will work hard for you to get the best outcome possible. I was facing 7 years of prison time on a drug charge. The DA wasn't backing down. Ryan took it to tri...al and with his research and knowledge of the law he found technicalities that got me acquitted. He had all the proper examples to back up his evidence. He went above and beyond for me. It has given me a new lease on life. Thank you Ryan.

Ryan was the second attorney we hired after running up against a particularly intense DA who was not willing to negotiate a reasonable plea deal. Ryan knows his stuff. He got the absolute best outcome possible under the circumstances, using his knowledge of the law and willingness to stand up to inti...midation tactics. He made reasoned and compelling arguments to the court and kept my son out of jail. Ryan is definitely the attorney you want in a crisis.

We were referred to Ryan Scott after the trial and appeals attorneys basically bungled my son's criminal case. Mr. Scott recently won my son a reversal of all current convictions, earning him a new trial. Of course, this will be delayed for years with further appeals and legal wrangling. However, the... fact that we have arrived at this point at all, for that we have Mr. Scott to thank. He is an experienced, dedicated, and hard-working attorney. Mr. Scott goes the extra mile for his clients. He methodically and thoroughly researched our case, ferreting out discrepancies and legal errors in trial transcripts and legal documents associated with the case. Somehow he also manages to keep abreast of current new cases that could impact his client's case. In addition, Mr. Scott has a facility for translating legal procedure and his legal strategy into terms that we lay people can easily grasp. If you are fortunate enough to have him take your case, it is no exaggeration to say that this decision could potentially change your life, or the life of a loved one. We cannot ever thank him enough for all his brilliant work on my son's case. We would hire him back in a flash in the future.
