I am a former felony and misdemeanor prosecutor who now focuses exclusively on criminal defense. I have prosecuted all types of crimes from the smallest of infractions to homicide. I have extensive experience in the areas of DUI and domestic violence, among others.. I've taught law related classes (criminal procedure, criminal law, civil procedure, criminal profiling) to bachelor level college students. I've consulted with and trained law enforcement in a number of areas of law, including DUI investigations, searches and seizures, and other investigatory issues.. My experience as a prosecutor and as an adjunct professor is a valuable tool to shaping an aggressive defense for my clients. I know how the government will approach the case against you and will explain everything in easy to understand terms so that we may shape a robust defense strategy. I know how and where to look for areas to poke holes because I used to be on the other side building these very cases against individuals.. I've spent countless hours in courtrooms for pretrial conferences, motion hearings, and trials. I'm extremely comfortable in that environment and am an experienced trial attorney with dozens of jury trials and hundreds of bench trials in my six years of practice. I routinely receive praise from jurors for my advocacy during trials.. I offer free consultations and flexible payment plans. Your attorney should be approachable and available to answer your questions. Contact me anytime for help with your criminal case. I'm available 24/7 by email at and most hours by phone.

I always knew I wanted to go to law school with the idealistic view that I wanted to make a difference.  After eight years of practice, I still take pride in making a difference one individual at a time.  My practice started out focusing on criminal defense work because of the constitutional law implications and I believe that everyone deserves an advocate when their opponent is the heavily resourced government.  Innocent people face criminal charges all of the time.  I had the advantage of working in appeals and was able to brief matters to the appellate courts of Utah and participate in oral arguments.  That experience better enabled me to write motions and argue motions based on constitutional violations when I started trial work.  I have conducted hundreds of jury trials with a high level of success.  I sincerely care about the outcome and fairness of each criminal proceeding for my clients.  I have handled misdemeanor, felony, state and federal matters.  My practice ranges from traffic cases to murder.  I started handling more family law matters as I saw instances of injustice and found I had the same passion for those clients who needed an advocate in protective order hearings, divorce, custody, modifications, termination of parental rights and adoptions.  I am a lawyer capable of fighting in and out of the courtroom, both on paper and in front of the judge.  I have the pleasure of working with two exceptional lawyers with whom I graduated law school.  We love our work and our clients and we take pride in advocating and making a difference in our client's lives.

For more than 17 years, Scott has poured his blood, sweat, and what little hair was left into representing his clients inside and outside of Utah’s courtrooms.  Scott is an avid sports fan and brings an extremely competitive spirit to his legal work, but also prides himself on finding creative solutions for his clients in those cases where a fight to the bitter end isn’t in the best interests of his clients..

When not working, and yes he does like to get away from the office on occasion, there is a pretty good chance you’ll find Scott in the bleachers at a ball field, gymnasium, or finish line cheering on one of his four kids, his wife, or his favorite team.  He may not look like much, and his body constantly reminds him that his playing days are behind him, but he’s always looking for something to stoke those competitive juices.
