About

He has been developing the skills needed to be  a criminal defense attorney since he started law school. Scott focused two of his three years in Law School on trial advocacy and courtroom strategy. He received numerous awards from Syracuse University College of Law in the area of trial advocacy. After graduating law school, Scott spent time at the Stanley Law Offices continuing to develop his trial skills. He soon joined the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office as an Assistant District Attorney. Scott handled all types of criminal matters at various stages from investigation to arrest and from arraignment to disposition. A significant portion of his time as a prosecutor was spent handling felony case in the Felony Trial Unit where he prosecuted violent felony including assaults, burglaries, robberies and weapons possession. Scott conducted several trials and prosecuted numerous persistent violent felony offenders facing mandatory life sentences. In addition to the unit he was assigned to, Scott had the opportunity to work on cases involving drugs, homicide and driving while intoxicated.

Our son, a Syracuse University student, got himself into a mess just off campus. It involved a criminal mischief charge. We were not only worried about the legal aspect but also what effect it could have on his status at the university. Scott not only went through everything from a legal aspect, but he also was great in the way he handled my 20 year old son. Explaining how choices we make in life will follow us wherever we go. I was so impressed with how he extended himself. In the end the charges were dropped and the University also dropped any investigation or sanctions. I hope I never need another attorney but if I do Scott would definitely be who I would call.

I was charged with a very serious DWI drugs. Scott new just what to say, to whom and when! His compassion and expertise is the perfect combination for a TOP Attorney! In Addition to being extremely well versed in law and having great contacts in the legal system (even a different county), he truly cares about his client and their families. Thanks Scott!

Scott Brenneck and his team from Team Green Lawyers were recommended to me by another attorney. I am VERY pleased with them and I am so glad I found them in my time of need.Mr Brenneck's fees were reasonable, he was extremely professional and compassionate about my defense. He was responsive to all my inquiries (and I had plenty). He personally communicated with me and included me in the entire process.BOTTOM LINE...When a defendant is completely confident in their lawyer (like I was with Scott Brenneck), the jury sees a confident team working together. The jury found me "NOT GUILTY".Thanks again!

Scott Brenneck is an incredible lawyer. He is very professional yet down to earth and friendly. He was flexible to meet with us when needed and took time to investigate and get down to the core of our case. We had an amazing experience with him. He got all of our charges dismissed. We would highly recommend this lawyer and Team Green Lawyers to anyone in search of an A+++ company.

I was on probation for a crime and during the probation period, I committed the same crime again! Mr. Scott A. Brenneck was my lawyer. I can tell you that Mr. Brenneck never made any snide remarks to me or was insulting given I was already on probation for the same crime. To the contrary he was very understanding and compassionate. To my astonishment Mr. Brenneck got my case dismissed! I did not think that was going to happen based on the circumstances. I can only tell you I was extremely pleased with the results and while I hope I never need the services of a criminal defense attorney ever again, if I do, I 100% know where I am going. If you want a lawyer who will not make you "feel like a criminal" and also has the smarts to handle complexities pertaining to your case, I highly recommend Mr. Brenneck. He was as I stated extremely compassionate.

I have not yet retained Mr. Brenneck but will say without a doubt one of the most compassionate attorneys I've had experience with while trying to get answers to a desperate situation. He is willing to talk and LISTEN. Very impressed!

I would not hesitate to recommend Scott Brenneck to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. He represented my son in a recent case, with a favorable outcome. Navigating the legal system was a new experience for me and my family, and it was extremely stressful and confusing. We had retained a different lawyer at first, with very poor communication and switched to Scott. It was a complete 180 degree experience. Scott was knowledgeable and patient, even explaining things several different ways until he was sure we understood completely. We could tell that he sincerely cared for our son's well-being. We all felt very confident in his abilities. He didn't sugarcoat things; he was realistic in his thinking and answered our every question so that we could be prepared for anything that may have happened. Scott paid meticulous attention to detail in a very complicated case involving many conflicting statements and a number of defendants. He communicated with other attorneys when it was appropriate and impressed everyone with his calm but confident demeanor. In court, his lack of hesitation in presenting his well-formed arguments overshadowed everyone else. If you are looking for the best representation, stop now. Scott Brenneck is the attorney you need!

I refer people to Scott Brenneck on a routine basis. His knowledge of the law and ability to make clients feel at ease are two of the main reasons. He knows what he is talking about and understands how the law works. He is highly respected among his peers and has a great working relationship with the legal community. The foregoing attributes give him the edge when it comes to negotiating cases, going to trial and getting information he needs to be most effective. If you need an outstanding criminal lawyer, Scott Brenneck is who you should call.

AWESOME lawyer!!! Started with prison time and ended with a minor misdemeanor. Felonies and ALL traffic tickets DROPPED!! You know you have a good lawyer when the judge tells you "you have a very competent lawyer Mr. Johnson". The judge said this after EVERY court hearing! Scott would joke with the DA and judge before getting down to business. Once things got serious, you could see Scott being very assertive to say the least! The "small talk" before the DA, judge and Scott got serious helped build a rapport with the DA and judge (that is my opinion). I would watch the judge's head nod in agreement with Scott and the DA backpedal when they got serious! At the second court hearing, the judge looked at the DA and said "this man is NOT going to jail". Scott had better and better news for me and my family every time we left court. He knew exactly when to "push" and exactly when to wait. Scott used to be an Assistant District Attorney. I think this experienc e is a good part of his amazing skills as a defense lawyer. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SCOTT FOR ANYONE!!!!

I have been acquainted with Scott Brenneck for almost 10 years and I have referred many people to Scott who have contacted me looking for a criminal attorney. They raved about his: professionalism, his honesty, his reliability and his attention to their needs. They said he answered all of their questions and explained how the process would work very clearly and in a very comprehensive way. They felt like they mattered to him as clients and they were not just another number. Scott puts things into perspective and always returns your phone calls very promptly. Several people have expressed to me how amazed they were at how knowledgeable he was in criminal law. If I ever need to hire a criminal attorney, Scott would be the attorney I would contact to represent me.
