Meet Scott
33 years defending clients in Essex County and throughout New Jersey.
I’ve practiced criminal defense in New Jersey for 33 years. Every case I take on, I handle personally, from the first consultation through resolution. My clients get my direct attention, clear communication, and the benefit of decades of courtroom experience.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Fairleigh Dickinson University and my Juris Doctor from Quinnipiac Law School. The accounting background helps me dig into financial cases and complex evidence in ways a lot of defense attorneys can’t.
I built my practice on four things: clear communication, careful listening, sound judgment, and treating clients like people, not files. That’s how I work, and it’s why my clients keep referring me to their friends and family.
How I Handle Your Case
Strong defense, straight communication, and personal attention to your case.
Being charged with a crime is one of the most stressful things that can happen to you. I get that. I build a defense around the specific facts of your case and keep you informed every step of the way.
From the first consultation through the final outcome, you’ll understand your options at each stage. My goal is the best possible result for your case, and protecting your rights and your future along the way.
I represent clients from Bloomfield, Newark, Montclair, and throughout Essex County. After 33 years practicing in these courthouses, I know the local judges, prosecutors, and procedures. That local knowledge is a real advantage for my clients.
Real Clients. Real Results. Real Stories.
