Since then, Scott’s ancestors and relatives have settled across Central and South Florida.

In Their Own Words

Quote Icon.

“My calling has always been helping people. In law school, my focus was international law and human rights. It was my intent to work in the public sector for a non-governmental organization or doing something in the realm of public interest. As fate would have it, my first job out of law school was as a law clerk for a well-respected Clearwater Personal Injury Law firm. I took that job for the paycheck. I made personal injury law my career because it gave me that same satisfaction of helping people in need that I knew would bring me happiness.

Today, after 30 years of representing hardworking people in their claims against the largest companies in the United States, I know that I found my place in this world. For me, to serve is to know happiness. Next to the joy brought to me by my children and my wife, the gratitude of my clients has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I know that I have made a difference in the lives of many people, and that is what keeps me fighting for them.”
