Scott Carness

Very thoughtful and caring human being very patient and was very thoroughAnd downright cared for everyone involved

Scott worked very hard on my behalf as we had to fight my own auto insurance company. He confidently guided me through my deposition and mediation, and we were ultimately able to get the full benefits of my claim amount.

I can recommend Scott. I hired him for help with compensation for medical bills due to a fall. He got the job done ✅

I suffered a permanent injury while at a local business. Scott worked to get a settlement to help offset future costs I will incur dealing with the injury and its impact on my life.

We consulted Scott regarding automobile liability laws. Scott was very detailed in explaining the law, with a calm, level-headed, and patient manner. We highly recommend Scott Carness, and will definitely seek his legal advice in the future if we need a personal injury attorney.

I have been rear-ended two times, both by uninsured motorists. The first time, Scott represented me against my own insurance company that ended in a trial. He was professional, poised and confident and I was grateful for his help. The second time, Kendra represented me and completed all of the details, making it easy for me to focus on healing. I appreciate them both tremendously and recommend them to anyone who might possibly need their expertise.

Our accident occurred at a fire station. We would have preferred to not involve lawyers, because who wants to do anything that would take resources away from your cities fire fighters. It turns out that paying large doctor bills is not part of insurance companies business model. Our health insurance company didn't want to pay. The fire departments insurance company offered us a small percentage of the hospital bill if we signed a document we did not understand. We interviewed a number of attorneys and Scott was by far the most organized, personable, and helpful. Most importantly we felt that he would handle our case with integrity, which was important to us because this was a fire dept. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. Scott always put our health at the highest priority. When a decision had to be made that favored our health vs. making our case stronger he always counseled us to do what was best for our health. I feel a less scrupulous attorney may have pressured us to do things that would make the case stronger. For us health was more important than a big pay out. Since our case was settled I have asked Scott for advice on other matters and he has been helpful. In my opinion Scott understands and values relationships. From what I can tell Scott is a respected attorney among his peers and expert witnesses. Throughout the settlement process whenever we worked with others I could tell Scott was well respected. I hope this helps.

This is the first time that I’ve ever worked with Scott, and I couldn’t be more pleased, he was genuine and sincere and cared about mine and my wife’s health and care. I would highly recommend working with Scott and would go to him in the future as well.

I am extremely glad I hired Scott for my personal injury case. What was obvious and impressive from our initial meeting was his friendliness, his courtesy, his sense of humor and his ability to really listen. Having been in a frightening auto accident, I was feeling vulnerable, and he put me right at ease. He answered all my questions with patience, and was extremely personable. As the months went by, Scott always kept me apprised of the progress of the case. Any time I contacted him with questions or concerns, he responded to me promptly and politely. When it came time for the settlement negotiations, Scott explained his thinking regarding our steps forward, and gave me options to consider. Having the benefit of his sage advice helped me make the right decisions as we moved ahead. Scott achieved a reasonable, realistic and satisfying settlement for me. I would absolutely recommend Scott to anyone who suffers from a personal injury and needs an attorney who is kind and personable, smart, extremely knowledgeable in his field, and willing to fight for what is right for his clients.

Scott is an amazing compassionate lawyer. He did all the heavy lifting in my situation, which I needed because I have a hectic life. He was true to his word from day one and I recommend him all the time. He asked my input for important things (I've dealt with other lawyers who werent so considerate) and we absolutely got the outcome we had hoped for.

Right from the start, Scott made us feel totally at ease. We are so glad that we found him! Scott has a knack for detail, is highly communicative, incredibly respectful and empathetic. Scott is genuinely a good and honest man. We will absolutely hire him again should the need arise and recommend him to family and friends. Scott is the BEST!

Between 2015-2017, Scott Carness was my attorney in a personal injury lawsuit against a major, international company. It was truly a "David and Goliath" type of suit. He agreed to take my case after several lawyers I approached had declined as it was a "Trip and Fall" situation and perhaps they didn't want to be bothered or felt I didn't have a chance of winning. One of those lawyers recommended him to me and I'm so glad he did as we won the suit and settled out of court for a very handsome amount! All along, Scott was professional, methodical and caring. He'd call me during my recovery process, concerned about my well being and explained the process every step of the way so that I could easily understand it. He gave me very good advice and I trusted him completely. He hired a local expert in trip and fall cases, who agreed that it wasn't entirely my fault and thoroughly explained why in a detailed report. I had never undergone a deposition before and Scott's advice was invaluable. He simply said to "Tell the truth, don't talk to the camera, and never answer questions you don't understand." He also said, among many other words of advice, not to guess and if I didn't know the answer to tell them that. It was comforting to have him there at the deposition and to know we could take breaks and I could ask him questions. Scott is well known in the legal community and was even acquainted with the defendant's attorney and the mediator. This proved very helpful in the process as he was aware of their personalities and reputations. I believe that mediating the case, rather than going to court was in my best interest, even though Scott was very willing to do so. I highly recommend Scott Carness, with no reservations, to anyone contemplating a personal injury attorney.

Working with Scott was the best decision I made. He explaines everything in plain English and does his job in a very professional way. I was able to let go of that part of the accident and not stress over contacting the insurance company and having to deal with phone calls throughout the case. I am very happy with my results and would refer him to anyone that needs a lawyer after a car accident. Thanks Scott

I hired Scott for an auto collision injury. He took care of everything and kept me informed every step of the way. I would most definitely hire him again should I require his expertise.

I have known him over 3 years, and he's been my personal injury lawyer for two cases. Those two cases closed with great results, and I'm very satisfied with them! I highly recommend him for your personal injury case! He's caring, very communicative, and always goes above and beyond!!
