Scott Anderson is my new super hero. I was faced with a challenging situation, with no idea where or who to turn to. Scott kept me informed and educated me to the process in order to achieve the desired (and best) result. I am beyond happy that Scott was there to assist. Thank you Scott.

Scott Anderson is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He helped me navigate an emotionally exhausting case with many uncertainties. He struck me as a genuine and personable attorney, more so after others had quoted very exorbitant fees. His strategic thinking and proactive advocacy helped me achieve a favorable outcome a very short time. Exceptional service and results! I highly recommend Scott to anyone seeking legal assistance in the twin cities.

Scott was awesome to work with. The case was settled outside of court and he got me the deal I couldn't have imagined he would. He was very understanding of my situation and very thorough in explaining every step of the process. I would highly recommend him.

Hiring Scott to represent me was the smartest thing I could have done in my miserable situation. I had gotten my second DUI in ten years and was looking at big trouble. Scott was a calming influence on me with his respect and understanding. He walked me through what I needed to do to get my life back in order with complete courtesy and professionalism. He ultimately got my charge reduced, fine lowered, home monitoring, and I didn't have to spend a day in court. Scott is also quite flexible regarding payment too. Although I have paid him, I am forever in his debt.

I cannot even begin to say enough good words about Scott Anderson. When I was first charged with my offense, I was so worried about what to do, didn't think I could afford representation, and wasn’t sure what outcomes I would face. From the moment I had my consultation with Scott, I knew I was in good hands. He got to know me as a client and I could tell that he cared, truly cared, about helping me. He kept in great communication with me and made himself available at all times for questions leading up to my court date. He helped me to achieve an outcome I didn’t think was possible, all the while being affordable. I am eternally grateful for his assistance and would highly recommend him as your representation.
