This was my first time ever dealing with a DUI, and I was honestly really hesitant about finding an attorney. I’d heard so many mixed stories, so I didn’t know what to expect. After reading all the great reviews, I decided to reach out to Scott — and I’m really glad I did. From the start, he was confident, straightforward, and truly listened to what I wanted and needed help with. He guided me through everything and made the whole process much less stressful. I’m thankful for his help and definitely recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

I always felt informed, supported, and confident that my case was in capable hands. I highly recommend Scott to anyone seeking a professional who combines legal expertise with genuine care and transparency.

Scott helped me out on a DUI case, my BAC was too high to beat the case but it was important to me to get my drivers license back as quickly as possible for work and Scott was able to help me get a significantly reduced sentence.

Wonderful lawyer, very knowledgeable and kind for a low point in my personal life. He was very reassuring, clear, and determined in his approach to work with the prosecution. Everything turned out much better than could have otherwise been the case, and while there's no "winning" a DUI ticket, I got the absolute best case scenario for my case. I hope I never have to refer anyone because this type of case is 100% avoidable, but if I did, it would certainly be to Scott without hesitation.
