Scott never made an argument to try to help my case, he did not try to leverage my clean record to minimize the impact of this case, and he did not communicate with me. He did do one thing very well, take my money! NOT recommended!
In my opinion Scott Dowdy is not as experienced as he claims to be. He showed no knowledge of the court process for the alcohol related charge my kid was facing. He instructed me to do things that were either unnecessary or just plain wrong. He instructed me to go above and beyond what the minimum was and in the end, i believe it hurt my kids case even more. He will argue against that, but he never let me talk to the prosecutor once. I cant be certain of anything she said. Mr Dowdy would like to argue that every case is different and no two punishments are the same. He repeated that numerous times during the consultation, along with "with my representation, she will still get punishment, but itll just be a different kind of punishment" Looking back, that may have been his disclaimer to justify his inadequacy as a criminal defense lawyer. I feel as if I would have been better off without him as an attorney. I would not hire him again. I caution anyone who is contemplating using his services to verify his claims of experience through court records.
