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.

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.
