Once I connected with Michele and Tim, I was overcome by a sense of relief. They listened carefully to my concerns, asked all the right questions, meticulously researched all aspects impacting my case and devolved a compelling argument in support of my case.
This all resulted in a successful outcome in my favor. Because they were there to carry this burden and fight on my behalf, I was able to focus on my self-care, my mental well-being, my family, my passions, completing my doctorate and securing a life changing new position where I am able to work within my calling. I am eternally grateful for the blessing of working with McKenzie-Scott Law. At a time when I felt dismissed, silenced, dishonored, and unseen, McKenzie-Scott Law stepped in and went to battle for me. I am so grateful for their guidance and support.
Top-Rate & Trustworthy… Hands down, Tim Scott is the gold standard in criminal legal defense, a praise that I do not give lightly as a fellow practicing criminal defense attorney. Multiple attorneys I respected referred me to Tim, whom they would trust if their own family needed criminal legal assistance. After observing his skill level, work ethic, and genuine care for our family, I can say without reservation that Tim should be the first person you call if you need legal help.
I’m very grateful to Mr. Scott and his firm. We never felt like ‘clients.’ He viewed us as individuals of incalculable worth. He understood that we put the most difficult situation of our lives in his hands and he wasn’t going to let us down. It was obvious that Mr. Scott valued the truth and justice of our situation over his own ego. He is the farthest thing from the stereotypical attorney. Every attorney and paralegal in his office was equally qualified and motivated. Their work gave us peace of mind and confidence throughout the mediation and trial processes. They were extremely attentive to detail, and able to uncover significant details that we had not noticed despite being more intimately aware of the situation. They sifted through enormous amounts of data and properly distinguished the most important elements of the case from those of lesser importance. The storyline of our situation was patiently woven together over the course of the trial and the jury was not lacking any important elements. He was never too busy to answer a call, email or text. He was factual rather than emotional. Our trial ended more quickly and favorably than we anticipated as a result of Mr. Scott’s professional and human excellence.
