WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Scott was a pleasure to work with, he was professional, compassionate, friendly, positive, and extremely knowledgeable. Our daughter was in a motor vehicle accident in the Bay Area. She was hit by a car while walking across a crosswalk. We reached out to Scott looking for advice as we knew it could be a difficult case to prove. We live in out of state and we knew we needed the help of a California lawyer. All of my communication with Scott was by email and phone, our daughter met with him in person and he made her feel very comfortable – she felt heard by him. With Scott's help, we were able to resolve the case and feel justice was done and fair compensation was paid out. I would highly recommend him.
