Scott believes in serving the Community, and has been tireless in his involvement throughout the years. While many other lawyers worry about expanding offices throughout the state (and even throughout the country), Scott maintains one office, and lives less than a mile from work, where he can remain involved and focused on his clients and his home community.
While Scott does represent motorcycle accident victims throughout Florida, he still insists on providing "
home town service." That means that you will never be pawned off to an inexperienced associate, which could very well happen with these "mega firms" you might see on TV.
Below is a partial list of how Scott has worked to help individuals, and better his community.
