Step 1Step 2Step 3 / 3

Confidential. Scott reviews every request himself.

What happens when you reach out.

No pressure, no obligation, and no automated intake queue. Here is how it works.

  • I.

    You reach out

    Use the form or call with a short description of what you are facing. If it is urgent, call and say so; Scott checks his messages personally.

  • II.

    Scott reviews it himself

    Not an intake team. Scott personally reviews your request and gets back to you, usually within one business day, to set up a time to talk.

  • III.

    A confidential consultation

    You talk through your situation in confidence, and Scott is straightforward about where you stand, what your defense would involve, and what it costs, before you decide anything. You leave knowing what happens next and what the plan is, with the only promise he makes: he cannot promise an outcome, he can promise to do everything he can to get the best result possible.

Most of the work runs through two counties: Saratoga close to home, Albany for Capital Region and federal matters.

Questions people ask before they call.

Straight answers to what most people want to know before they reach out to a criminal defense lawyer.

Yes. Anything you tell Scott about representing you is confidential, even if you decide not to hire him. Just keep the details general on this form until you speak with him directly.

Nothing. The first conversation is free. If you decide to go further, Scott is clear about fees before you commit to anything.

No. Reaching out is private, and speaking with a lawyer is not an admission of anything. It is simply the smart move.

Yes, and the sooner the better. The most important decisions often come before charges are filed. Getting a former prosecutor involved early can change how a case unfolds.

No. Scott can start by phone or video. In-person meetings at 59 Franklin Street are by appointment.

Scott. He limits his caseload and personally handles the people he represents, starting with your first call.

Usually within one business day. Scott reviews every message himself. If it is urgent, call and say so.

Stop talking about the case, even with family, and stay out of texts and messages about it. Delete nothing: emails, texts, and social media stay exactly as they are, and do not speak to law enforcement just to avoid looking guilty, which is exactly what they suggest. The most expensive mistake people make is waiting to call.

You do not have to decide today.
You just have to reach out.

One confidential conversation with Scott is the first step to understanding your options.
