Scott made me feel comfortable to discuss the situation and be honest with me about the best possible outcome. The result was a best case scenario under the circumstances. Scott is knowledgeable, personable, and I believe he cares about his clients. HIRE HIM.

When my fiancé and I got into an argument at Disney, he was escorted out under false pretenses of the Disney security. He was tried for battery of dating violence. We may have gotten loud with one another but never in our history has he ever laid a hand on me. We hired Scott to get the case thrown out of court as the state went forward to prosecute my fiancé after I filed not to press charges. It went all the way to a jury trial where Scott was able to disprove the witness statements that he laid a hand on me. The jury came back with a not guilty verdict. Thank you Scott so much for proving my fiancés innocence!

When you are in your "golden years" and find yourself in need of a lawyer, It can become very stressful. This is the position my husband and I found ourselves in August of 2015. We were very blessed to be referred to Scott Richardson for help. Our case took ten long months and Attorney Richardson was always there to answer our questions and give us reassurance when needed. He was always available to us by phone and was willing to schedule an appointment when we felt we needed council. Our outcome was positive and I know it was because of the dedication and concern Mr. Richardson had for us. We weren't just clients to him. We were real people with real needs and he met them without question. I hope we don 't have the need for an attorney again, but I can tell you without doubt, I would recommend Scott to anyone. We have not only had superior representation, we have gained a true friend.

I cannot say enough good things about Scott Richardson! I was falsely accused of domestic battery charge in October 2015, which ended up leading into a custody case involving my 2 very young children, too. I called Scott Sunday evening around 8:30 p.m. and was freaking out talking a mile a minute over the phone to him explaining my situation. He calmly listened for a good 15 minutes and let me get it all out of my system and then agreed to meet me that very our at his office to discuss all the pertinent of my case. (how many other lawyers do you know that would do that?) My case was extremely complicated because we were not married and had paternity established and Joint 50/50 custody in another state but not in Florida. Scott was able to resolve both the criminal issue and the family issues. He was able to give me sound advice and urge me to take my case to trial. I took his advice and was able to have him file all the necessary paperwork to keep my kids in the state of Florida. Not only did he get the custody order from the other state recognized and enforced in the state of Florida but he also gave me excellent legal representation which led to the state of Florida dismissing all charges against me. I was not the easiest client to deal with, I'm sure, because I was an emotional wreck during this whole process but he never showed frustration or any signs of being annoyed by my neediness. He was extremely patient and very well prepared leading up to the trial and the day of trial. He prepared to go to trial even though he was very confident the state would not likely move forward... I am so very grateful for having Scott Richardson as my lawyer. I highly recommend Scott Richardson!

I had two major mistakes in 2015... I got involved in a situation that led to my arrest and I didn't hire Scott "at first"... A four thousand dollar lesson / mistake... Four thousand given to an attorney that would not listen and did not represent me the way I wanted or needed... So, I fired her and found Scott... Scott did listen, Scott did return calls... SCOTT AND HIS STAFF FOUGHT FOR ME...Scott and his staff are in your corner 100%... It was money well spent with Scott... The Law is not always Black and White, and there are many shades of gray... "He's Known" and "Respected" by the States Attorney Office and the Judges... And this allows for open communication for positive results... You Better call Scott... Don't waste your time or money with another Attorney !!!!

THE ONLY ATTORNEY WHO TOOK MY CASE, GUARANTEED TO HELP ME FIGHT TO GET MY DAUGHTER BACK, HELD MY HAND THROUGH THE WHOLE CASE FROM BEGINNING TO END, GAVE ME THE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT I NEEDED, NOT HAVING ANY FAMILY TO SUPPORT ME. YOU CAN CONSIDER HIM HAVING THE BEDSIDE MANNER LIKE A DOCTOR. BY YOUR SIDE THE WHOLE TIME!!! MY RATING FOR MR. RICHARDSON GOES BEYOND THE 5 STARS IT'S HAS NO LIMITS, BECAUSE HE HELPED ME GET MY LIFE BACK... MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, WHO WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM ME BY THE STATE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A REAL ATTORNEY, WHO WILL FIGHT FOR YOU TILL THE END, THEN MR. SCOTT RICHARDSON IS IT... BUT I THANK GOD EVERYDAY FOR SENDING ME MR. RICHARDSON, HE IS AN ATTORNEY WHO FIGHTS FOR WHAT THE LAW STATES!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANY CASE, EVEN IF IT MAY NOT BE HIS SPECIALTY, HE WILL STILL FIGHT FOR YOU AND NOT SAY I CAN'T TAKE YOUR CASE. MR. RICHARDSON IS AN ATTORNEY THAT WILL FIGHT FOR A CAUSE, AND FOLLOW THE LAW AS IT STATES... HE IS TRUE, REAL AND MOST OF ALL HONEST ATTORNEY!!! NOTHING, OTHER THAN TO RECOMMEND HIM TO OTHERS, WILL EVER PAY WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER. HE IS AN OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY, AND A TRUSTING ONE... WHO WILL STAND BY YOU ALL THE WAY!!!!

I hired Mr Richardson when my cousin gave a recommendation and Mr Richardson's number. Scott met me on a Sunday and went over everything. I had criminal charges on me and Mr Richardson felt like he would get the charges reduced or dismissed. As predicted, the charge was dismissed! Mr Richardson is very well known in Apopka for his excellent work as it turns out. He has represented a number of people I know in Orlando that had amazing things to say about him. He is always prepared and informative. His office staff is super responsive and they speak Spanish. Everyone at the courthouse knew him when we went in, and I was treated very well. If you are looking for a superior defense attorney, look no more and call Scott Richardson

My title says it all. I was in a ton of trouble, and Scott Richardson saved my life. It was a drug charge, and I was looking at state prison time if convicted. He was aggressive and thorough from the start, and filed a motion to suppress evidence because of mistakes by the police at the time of my arrest. After a long hearing, Scott found lots of inconsistent statements in the arresting officer's testimony, and the motion to suppress the evidence was granted! What impressed me most about Scott was not just his attention to detail, but also the thorough way he researched the law, and came to court armed with all kinds of court decisions, much more than the prosecutor did. And before the hearing took place, he and his staff answered all of my questions, and were really helpful in bringing peace of mind to both me and wife. I never lost my job, never had to go to prison, and my life would be a whole lot worse right now if it weren't for Scott. I'd recommend him to ANYBODY, and he's my family's attorney for life!
