I had never been in a car accident before and a momentary mistake in judgment had me facing charges of a misdemeanor and court appearance for failure to yield. I didn’t know where to start and calling Scott Anderson was the best thing I could have done. He charged a fair price and he gave me all the assurance and instruction I needed to navigate the road ahead. He was personable and good at communicating. Even better, he was able to get things settled with the prosecutor out of court and get my charges greatly reduced. Highly recommend!

Scott made me feel like I mattered. He even called to see how I was doing. I didn't have to worry about my case or what was happening. I had total confidence in Scott. He was able to settle my case via email so I didn't have to go to court. I didn't have to do any jail time and had a minimal fine.

Scott is amazing at what he does and is just an overall great guy! I spoke with 4 other attorneys and none of them made me feel as comfortable as Scott did. He took time to actually hear me out and understand the situation and then walked me through all the steps in simple terms as well as putting me at ease. Before this I had never spoken with an attorney and I had never been in trouble with the Law. I was very scared and after my first 20 minute conversation with Scott, all my issues were put to rest. Scott has been doing this forever, has a long successful history with law, and seems to be in good favor with a lot of other attorneys, prosecutors, and judges. I got in trouble with a DWI and when it was all said and done, the pricing was very reasonable, the results were 20 times better than expected, and could not be happier! I certainly hope I don't need his services again but if myself or anyone I know gets in a similar situation to me, I would recommend no one other than Scott
