Excellent
I hired Scott Lang to be my attorney for a class 1 misdemeanor offense, after thorough research online. Contacting him was not a hassle, he was able to get me in quickly and made time to make sure we were prepared for our day in court. He "kept it real" with me from the very beginning. He is very kno...

Straightforward and competent
When The Commonwealth of Virginia charged me with a misdemeanor in the Virginia Beach area, I called around for legal representation. A fellow alumnus from The College of William and Mary referred me to Seven Cities Law. For this I was fortunate because sifting through the torrent of letters that arr...

Fantastic Litigator
Scott Lang is one of the best trial lawyers I have ever worked with. His preparation is meticulous; he knows the facts and law better than anyone else in the courtroom. Scott "tells it like it is" in an effective way to get things done. Heaven forbid if I were ever charged with a crime, but Scott ...
Scott M. Lang's Lawyer Endorsements
"An excellent lawyer who treats clients with patience, care, understanding, and utmost professionalism - an even better person and I wholeheartedly recommend for future services."
"Scott is hands down the best trial attorney I have ever met. Working for and alongside Scott at the Commonwealth's Attorney's office was a pleasure. I endorse Scott without reservation."
"Scott has been my mentor for almost 20 years now. He is the best and most experienced trial lawyer I have ever had the privilege to observe or work with, and he has taught me a great deal over the years. **If you hire Scott he will fight extremely hard for you and get you the best results possible!"
"I've known Scott for many years - in different capacities - as a co-worker at the Commonwealth Attorney's Office for several years, and as an adversary. Scott is detail-oriented, smart, and experienced. He's tried countless, serious criminal cases before juries, he is well-respected by the local judges, and if you are need of a talented lawyer for serious criminal defense, you don't need to look any further than Scott Lang."
"Exceptional trial lawyer. I have known Scott for about 20 years. He earned his masters of law in trial advocacy the year before me, and then I practiced against him for 2 years while he was the Chief Prosecutor and I was the Chief Defense Counsel in Norfolk. He ran an exceptionally clean shop, with lawyers whose ethics were above question. Personally, he was an aggressive and fair lawyer who loved his work. Scott left the Navy and joined the Commonwealth's Attorney's office about 10 years ago, but he left the Navy as one of the best, if not the best, trial lawyer of his age. His reputation both at the Commonwealth Attorney's Office and now in private practice only supports the fact that he continues to be at the top of his game. If you are a client in need of an exceptional lawyer in court, this is your lawyer. If you are a lawyer looking for advice on trial work, this is your resource."
"I definitely endorse this lawyer. Scott's knowledge of the rules of procedure and evidence provide a decisive advantage in any contested matter. I learned more trying a case with Scott than I did in three years of law school. One of the best trial attorneys I have ever seen. (These views are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of or imply an endorsement by the Department of Defense)."
"I worked with and for Scott at the Virginia Beach Commonwealth Attorney's Office for more than 10 years. Scott is one of the finest trial lawyers I've known."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Lang is a top notch criminal defense lawyer. You will be in good hands with his skills representing you."
"Scott Lang is a skilled, experienced and savvy litigator that can be counted on to get the best result possible for his clients. Having faced Scott in court as opposing counsel on numerous occasions, I can attest to his professionalism and integrity. I give him my highest recommendation."
"I endorse Scott Lang. We started at the Virginia Beach Commonwealth Attorney's office in the same month over a decade ago, though Scott brought with him almost 15 years of prior experience that I did not have. Scott quickly became a supervising attorney and handled the most serious cases that our office had. He is an excellent trial attorney and dedicated to his craft. I give him my full endorsement."
"I have worked with Scott in one way or another for the past decade. His analytical ability and trial work is second to none. If a loved one ever found themselves in the position to need representation in a criminal matter, Scott would be the first attorney I would call. I can unequivocally endorse Scott for all criminal matters."
"Scott is an excellent trial attorney. As his co-worker I have watched Scott in action for several years. When he goes into Court he is always prepared, very persuasive and one of the best at cross examining witnesses. Any client would be lucky to have Scott as their lawyer."
