Prior to joining Dimalanta Clark, LLP, my experience primarily rested in the areas of Construction Defect, Personal Injury, Real Estate, Business Formation, and Employment Law. During that time I successfully negotiated settlement for clients in Construction Defect litigation. I have experience in trial preparation and beginning the appellate process, particularly with regard to employment and construction defect lawsuits.I have a strong record of academic and professional achievements, most recent of which was my graduation from McGeorge School of Law with a certificate in Governmental Affairs. Prior to attending law school, I obtained my Master of Science from Iowa State University and my Bachelor of Science from the University of California at Davis. At Iowa State University, my masters concentrated on periparturient disorders for calving difficulty and other calf related traits in Holsteins, with an emphasis in statistical analysis.While attending McGeorge School of Law, I worked as a volunteer law clerk in the Attorney General’s Office - Department of Justice, Public Rights Division. While volunteering I was paired with the Agricultural Law section due to my background in Agriculture. I assisted with employment law issues and agricultural commissions, in addition to administrative law pertaining to the California Air Resources Board.I also obtained a certificate in International Studies while attending the University of Salzburg Faculty of Law located in Austria as well as the State University of St. Petersburg located in Russia. While attending the University of Salzburg Faculty of Law, I studied under Justice Anthony Kennedy on the topic of Studied Fundamental Rights in Europe and the United States. While attending the State University of St. Petersburg, I emphasized my studies in Comparative International Law. I completed courses in International Trade, Russian Business Law, Public International Law, Comparative Antitrust Law, and the Russian language.

I have spent the last 43 years in a trying cases in Virginia and neighboring jurisdictions.   My practice was mostly criminal and insurance defense work for 20years and for the last 23 years it has been mostly representing plainitiffs in personal injury cases.  I have tried almost every conceivable personal injury case.  My results have earned me recognition as a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, a Fellow of the Virignia Law Foundation, and a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and numerous other Bar Associations.  I am presently the President of the Virginia State Bar, the mandatory Bar Association in Virginia with 45,000 members.  My firm is a small personl injury litigation firm consisting of Len Paris, Keith Marcus, and me.  We have over 100 years experience and an experienced staff to offer our clients.

As a husband, father, and small business owner, nothing is more important to me than providing for my family and keeping them safe and secure. I believe that most people feel the same way. That is why I have dedicated my career to helping families and small businesses plan for the future and protect the well-being of their loved ones.Although life has taught us to "always be prepared" and "expect the unexpected," only about 60% of Americans have actually taken the time to prepare a plan to handle their affairs after death or disability. That's simply not good enough. In fact, I've witnessed firsthand what not having a plan in place can do, sometimes resulting in the complete self-destruction of a family or business.  As an estate and business planning attorney, my passion is to help families and small businesses plan for and successfully navigate the unexpected and inevitable events in life. Specifically, my job is to ensure that (1) personal, family, and business goals are realized, (2) risks and expenses are minimized, and (3) peace of mind is achieved.I take pride in providing each of my clients with personal attention, timely assistance, clear communication, and excellent results. I explain, in plain English, the available options and my recommendations based on the client's specific situation. Working together, we then develop and implement a carefully tailored plan to ensure that the client's objectives are achieved.Scott received his B.A. in Political Science from Christopher Newport University and his J.D. from the T. C. Williams School of Law at the University of Richmond. While in law school, Scott served as the Editor-in-Chief of the University of Richmond's Law Review, was a member of the Moot Court Board, and served on the law school's Honor Council.
