Samuel T. Scott Jr.
Associate

Every case comes with a history, some longer than others. I strive to get to the heart of the key issues while also understanding the importance of the history connected to each lawsuit or dispute. With that framework in mind, I balance legal options with practical business considerations to achieve a favorable outcome.
