About
I was a science major in college. I had planned to attend Medical School. During my last year of college, I decided to enroll at the Valparaiso University School of Law. Even though I did not pursue a career in medicine, I apply my knowledge in the sciences to the practice of law. Specifically, my background in science has equipped me to successfully defend clients involving alcohol related offenses such as Operating While Intoxicated. I have also applied my knowledge of the sciences as it relates to toxicology and autopsy findings to successfully defend persons alleged to have committed murder. Of course, I also employ my understanding of science to representing those injured as a result of another person's negligent or intentional conduct. I wholeheartedly believe in the pursuit of justice. Oftentimes in Criminal Cases, I see persons accused of crimes admit guilt in court to avoid jail, a more serious conviction or because they lack the finances to mount an effective defense. Pleading guilty to a crime that one did not commit is not only an injustice, but a travesty. I make sure that all my clients have all their questions answered about their cases. I further make sure that my clients are aware that I have conducted a thorough investigation with respect to their case(s). I go through all the findings of my investigation with my clients so they may make an informed decision as to how to proceed with their case. In Personal Injury Cases, I am aware of injured persons settling with insurance companies for compensation that does not adequately amount to their damages. Equipped with my background in science, I pride myself on being capable of representing my clients in a manner that fully and adequately develops relevant issues to most effectively resolve their claim.In all consultations, I advise all potential clients as to the weaknesses and strengths of their cases. I do not tell clients what they want to hear. I do not give clients false hope. Unfortunately, I do have to decline to accept cases from time to time. This is hard to do when the potential client is sympathetic. I do my best to advise the potential client as to why I decline their case. I have found over the years that sometimes clients just want answers more than anything. Thank you for reading,Scott

I Hired Scott to to defend my case twice and both times he did an outstanding job ! I recommend The Pejic Law Group to anyone who has legal problems. I"m sure they will come through for you as well!
I got in a bit of trouble with the law. Going on a recommendation from a colleague, I called Scott, explained my problem and he immediately put me at ease about my situation. He is very knowledgeable and made me feel like my case will be his top priority. Proving, as time went on, that in fact, it was. Always promptly returning calls and answering any additional questions I had. Short of it all? If I ever need a lawyer?(hope not) Scott will be the one I will call. Anyway, a big thanks Mr. Pejic. Keep up the great work!
Had a great experience working with Scott Pejic. He really understood nuances of personal injury law and helped advise me with my best options. He is very approachable and focused on providing the best for his cliencts. Highly recommend!
Absolutely the best attorney I have ever had represent me hands down. Mr. Pejic is dedicated and extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise, he even found a mistake my previous attorney Made in the handling of a case some five years previous. I would and do recommend him to anyone looking for a personally and motivated Paraclete.
Scott was very accommodating and efficient with my case. He met me outside of normal office hours in order to take care of the issue. I was extremely satisfied with my outcome.
Scott was there for me every step of the way. Any phone call I had was answered by his office with an immediate answer. Not only did he take care of my case and lower any charge I had, He got them knocked down to the fullest extent to where I didn't even need to show up. He took care of everything and made sure I didn't miss work if I didn't need. 100% will be back if I ever need it. Hopefully not.
I contacted scott in August 2014, about a DUI case. I met with him and discussed the case. I then hired scott and to his success due to his relations with the court and professionalism, the case got dismissed couldn't be more happier with him. Great person and even more so as an attorney, highly recommended from me!!!
Attorney Pejic is amazing! No one else would/could have done what he did for us. It was a legal nightmare for us and things were looking really bad. Attorney Pejic got on our case immediately and did everything possible to resolve the case as quickly as possible. He talked with us on his cell phone and kept us informed every step of the way. He got the BEST possible outcome for us. I hope he can do the same for you. WOW
I can’t say enough good things about Scott. He is hands down an excellent attorney. My son was arrested on a Saturday I called Scott, and he answered even thought he was at his sons swim meet. My son was looking at life in prison, so needless to say my motions where all over the place. Scott was honest and straight forward every step of the way. He answered every question we had no matter how small or simple, he was never short with us or annoyed with us he just answered our questions. He kept us focused and mentally strong. I know he had other cases but he made us feel like we where his main focus. Due to his diligence the out come of my son’s case was the stuff of movies. He went from looking at 147 years in prison to all charges dropped!!! Scott is an amazing attorney I will never use anyone other than Scott for any legal matter.
Handled my owi and can't complain about the outcome. In fact represented me in a few cases after. If you need a lawyer around northwest Indiana this is your guy.
