I hired him for a criminal defense case. He was quick to answer all my questions and knowledgeable and right to the point. I knew what was going to happen before any proceedings and we worked well together. He was very personable and professional. I won and I did not want this to be on my recor because it might effect my career path as I am a student. I was very happy with the outcome. I recommend this attorney.
I've just hired Scott to represent my husband because he came highly recommended. I feel that it is the wisest decision I could have made in an extremely trying time. When things seem to be more than I can bear, just talking to him makes me feel calmer and more confident that everything will work out okay. Not once have I felt that I could have found a better lawyer!
Very knowledgeable, took time to answer all questions and clearly explain case, returned all calls, answered questions within a reasonable time frame, dealt with a difficult case for my son , he went above and beyond my expectations, handled everything well and in a timely manner with exceptional knowledge of the law, grace, and professionalism. I was comfortable with his fee's, his educational background, when I had questions his responses were educated and he immediately knew what the laws involved were and explained everything extensively, his presentation and speaking skills are excellent. He seems to have a passion for what he does and it was apparent through out the case. My son's case was won.
I called him M. Scott, he has done a wonderful job for my son Nathaniel, M He is a very good lawyer, I like him. I recommande him for everyone who looks for a good lawyer. He is fair on his fees and a family man who understand life. Thank you M. Scott for everything May God bless you always.
I have dealt with Mr.Sawtelle twice in the past 3yrs. He is a true stand up guy. The first time he stood up and fought what seemed to me a losing battle, but things worked out. The second time was more intense and I stood more to lose than a little money. I could have lost my 24yr old son for 30 years. Mr. Sawtelle again went above and beyond any lawyer I have ever known and my son only served three months. However, Mr. Sawtelles talks with him definately change his way of thinking and made him do some thinking. I just wanted to say thanks from the bottom of my heart and GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Carole
I HIRED HIM FOR A VERY SIMPLE VOP CASE, HE INFORMED ME THE DAY BEFORE COURT HE WAS GOING TO COME AND SPEAK TO ME TO BASICALLY PREPARE ME FOR COURT AND NEVER SHOWED UP, HE DOESN'T PROMTLY RETURN YOUR PHONE CALLS, HE WALKED OUT OF COURT TO TAKE A PHONE CALL WHEN THE JUDGE WAS READY TO BEGIN,HE COMES TO COURT UNPREPARED,HE MADE ME DO ALL THE TALKING AND HAD NO DEFENSE AT ALL WHEN THE STATE ATTORNEY SPOKE,HE IS THE WORST ATTORNEY I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE.
