He only renders an opinion after consideration and a lot of detail-oriented thoughtful work/research. He is super-efficient and extremely generous when it comes to billing. He can relate to all different kinds of people and explains concepts and concerns patiently and honestly. Scott has saved our transportation company hundreds of thousands of dollars. His judgement and advice have been time- tested and proven to be 100% correct. Scott sometimes declines legal work we offer him when it is outside his area of expertise/comfort zone. Luckily, his referrals have proven to be great, resulting in additional successful outcomes. Scott is one of a kind. He is super-efficient and extremely generous when it comes to billing.
