Scott believes a candid approach to legal representation is the only approach. Scott will meet with you personally to discuss your case and provide a candid assessment of your case. Frequently, clients do not hear what they want but rather learn of the risks and benefits associated with pursuing a particular strategy with their case. Occasionally, a more detailed opinion is necessary for which Scott will prepare a written legal opinion after researching how certain laws may affect your particular situation.
As an experienced criminal law attorney in Jefferson City, Missouri, Scott maintains a goal-oriented approach to the representation of his clients facing criminal charges. Most clients want to avoid jail or prison. Many of the local jails including the Cole County jail, the Callaway County Jail, the Maries County Jail, the Miller County Jail, the Moniteau County Jail, the Morgan County Jail, and the Osage County Jail are some of the least desirable jails in which to be occupied based on information provided by former clients who sat in jail before hiring Scott. Clients want the best possible outcome, realizing that the choices may amount to be what is the lesser of the evils.
If you have recently been charged with a crime or are under investigation for alleged criminal activity, you will need to consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
Do not make any statements to the police or prosecuting attorneys before talking to your own lawyer. Talking can only hurt your case, as it will be used against you. Speaking first to a criminal lawyer will help you build a case, and speaking to one with experience will help you build a strong one.
A Jefferson City man faced DUI charges following a field sobriety test. Charges against the defendant were dropped after Scott successfully maintained the client’s claims that the test results were inaccurate. While the client initially appeared to be in a difficult situation, Scott was able to push investigators to determine the sobriety test results as invalid, so the charges were dismissed.
A client from Fulton was accused of drug possession as a result of a home search. While drug charges may potentially be filed as a Class C felony involving severe consequences, Scott was able to help the client receive a reduced sentence. Ultimately, the client faced significantly smaller penalties compared to the initial charges.
One client sought legal assistance after an altercation with another individual in Jefferson City. The client was arrested on assault charges despite allegedly not starting the fight. Since an arrest can lead to life-altering penalties such as being terminated from employment and serving jail time, Scott was able to build a solid legal defense in the client’s favor and argued in favor of the client’s innocence.
