    Hard Working and Informative. Contacted my lawyer immediately. He and his legal assistant Emily were very informative with every step of the process. I received communication and what to expect throughout our time working together. Even better, they helped fight a charge that could have impacted my life. I could not ask for bette ... r representation!

    Sexoffender Registry Removel. Scott did an excellent job of explaining what needed to be done for removal, and the steps that needed to be taken. I have nothing to say except admiration for his ability.

    Better Call Scott. Was very thorough when explaining a situation, often cracked jokes while doing. Got my charges completely dropped before the state could even bring in a 2nd witness. Great guy, great lawyer. Would I want him again? No, nobody “wants” a lawyer. But if I needed him I would choose him again.

    I got pulled over and at risk of losing my cdl, and job. With the help of Scott and Emily I got to keep everything. They are both very helpful and knowledgeable and I would recommend them if you ever need a good dui lawyer.
