He earned his Juris Doctor with honors from the University of Miami School of Law in 1993.

He is known for his meticulous case preparation and ability to outthink and outwork opposing counsel, securing meaningful outcomes for those dealing with life-changing injuries, lost income, and overwhelming medical bills.

Clients consistently describe Scott as empathetic, trustworthy, and relentless. His hands-on approach—beginning with the first consultation and extending beyond the case resolution—sets him apart in a crowded legal field.
