Excellent Attorney – Don
I was unfortunate to get a ticket, but I was fortunate to discover Scott. He was kind, understanding & represented me far beyond my capability. His experience as a former police officer, prosecutor, & now defense attorney was a real asset. He was able to negotiate a reduced fine & charges from the original ticket I was issued. I highly recommend him if you get a traffic ticket!
The most professional, knowledgeable man for the job. This guy is for real – David
I have worked with several different lawyers in the past. I only wish I had hired Scott for all my cases. Scott has expertise and experience in every aspect of the law process, from arrests to prosecution to now defending the public. His knowledge of the law, investigations and attention to detail is incomparable. Scott was very eager to do as much as possible to get the charges completely dropped. Scott’s integrity and willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty is unparalleled. I cannot pay this man back for the expertise, hope and encouragement he provided during my trials. I can only refer him in hopes of beginning the process.
Great Assistance
Scott went out of his way to help me in 2007 with a traffic ticket issue. I never thought of seeking the assistance of an attorney for a traffic ticket, but I am so glad I did. Scott walked me through the process and I was able to keep the infraction off my record, helping me keep my insurance rates low. Fantastic.
