“Scott did an excellent job representing our daughter. It was a difficult and emotional time for our family, but Scott’s experience and advocacy on behalf of our daughter provided tremendous support for us. We engaged Scott based upon a strong referral from a parent and friend who had worked with Scott in the past and that decision has truly helped our family in many ways.”
