Patrick Scully

I recently retained attorney Patrick Scully to represent me after being arrested for driving under the infuence of drugs. His rates were so reasoable, that I was leary that he would really do anything for me. However, due to a very resticted butget after a long fight with cancer, I felt that I did...n't really have a choice... I thought I might be making a mistake, but I can now look back with confidence, and say that Patrick Scully was undoubtedly the best mistake I've ever made! Lol Not only was he very knowledgeable about all aspects of this area of the law, but I was most impressed with the emense amount of time and effort he put forth in preparing my case. I kept asking how much above his original quote we would end up at?...due to all the many complictions surrounding my case... He kept insisting that once he gives a number, he sticks to it!... yes he did! Well he must know what he's doing, because what in most cases would have resulted in a criminal record and fines starting a $2000.00, turned out to be reduced to a mere traffic infraction, and $190.00 in fines. Kaboom! So if you your dumb enough to make a mistake like I did... redeem yourself by being smart enough to hire the best! Patrick Scully....you da man!

Highly Recommended, Excellent Representation

Patrick Scully's knowledge and expertise regarding laws, regulations, and procedures (including both court and DMV) were outstanding. He was always prepared and everything was done in a timely manner, which greatly alleviated my anxiety over my situation. He explained everything clearly and concisely..., and was very personable. I absolutely made the right decision in retaining his services, which I believe led to the best resolution that was achievable for my case.
