About
When it comes to high-stakes criminal cases that are the hardest to try—DUIs and sex crimes—Scott has a track record of winning. These cases require deep legal knowledge, courtroom strategy, and the ability to dismantle complex forensic evidence, and that’s exactly what Scott brings to each case.
Scott has successfully defended clients against a range of felony and misdemeanor charges, including sex offenses, assault, robbery, drug crimes, and theft. Roughly half of Scott’s caseload has been DUI-related. His ability to effectively challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and forensic toxicology reports makes him a go-to DUI defense attorney.
He holds certifications from the International Order of Police and the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, allowing him to administer and scrutinize the same roadside sobriety tests law enforcement uses.
What sets Scott apart is his scientific and investigative background. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Washington, is a certified Laboratory Chemist by the American Chemistry Society, and prior to law schoolspent 12 years as a licensed private investigator and lead case investigator. His DNA analysis and forensic evidence expertise is exceptionally valuable in complex cases.

He is a member of the Washington State Bar in good standing of the National College of DUI Defense, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
