I've worked with his office before and was honored to have such a competent staff go to Bat for me. :) I could use them again for a criminal case, not mine. Will be calling soon if I don't get an email!!

Counselor Brand is a very competent, very professional attorney. After having a free, very thorough initial consultation with him, he immediately got to work on my case, meeting with the prosecutor at my dispositional hearing (which, only two days away, and thanks to his representation, I didn't even have to attend), and that very same day HAD ALL THE CHARGES DISMISSED! I simply couldn't recommend Scott any more highly. A very thoughtful, intelligent who GETS RESULTS ... fast. If you're case is in North Dakota or Minnesota, you could not be better served by anyone else than Mr. Brand.

Scott Brand is an honest lawyer who is worth many times more than his retainer. I was not at first not satisfied by the rural lawyers I came across in McKenzie county or that came up by sponsored links on Google. I found Scott by going to the prosecutor's office in another town, Dickinson, and asking for a private criminal lawyer that they would reccomend. At first I was shocked that the reccomendation to the lawyer was all the way in Fargo. I called him and he agreed to meet with me when I was passing through. At first I was a bit uneasy that the office was 6 hours away from the county in which I was facing charges, but this is normal for North Dakota. I am so glad that I went to Fargo instead of responding to the lawyers out there in that corner of North Dakota. My brother and I went to Scott's office one time and he was courteous and more than professional. Because I live in France, all of the contact was done over phone, mail, or e-mail from this point onwards. A week after this meeting, Scott gained access to the bodycam footage of the officer and it was clear that this was a civil rights violation. The prosecutor still rejected this argument, despite the fact that everything was on camera. Scott drafted some sort of long, complex legal document that was based in North Dakota state case history to fight my case. When he actually appeared in court to defend this document, the prosecutor and police officer were still tenacious. The judge threw out the case, however, and issued a written ruling entirely in agreement with Scott. I got back the entirety of the bail money that I paid to the county and more importantly I have my life back. If I had had to go on probation in North Dakota, who knows what type of problems this would have caused me later on. His retainer is totally worth several times over what he charged. He made it so I never had to appear in court in any hearing or as a witness, so that I did not have to return from France, which would have easily cost several thousand dollars per appearance. For a lawyer, Scott is more than honest. He doesn't overpromise. I felt reassured throughout the whole course of several months. I really don't envision that other lawyers might have been able or even dedicated such an amount of hard work to beat the charges. I don't have a great opinion of lawyers in general and I'm not sure that the other lawyers I had consulted would have not just taken my money and then advised me to take a plea deal to finish everything as fast as possible.

He did a wonderful job of explaining things. He was very thorough, listened to our side, and went to bat for us. So glad we went with Scott!

My son & I spend 1-2 weeks in Cali w/ my daughter every summer. My son-in-law was deployed in Feb. 1 week later my older son unexpectantly passed away. We planned on spending time w/ a family member who is gravely ill. After purchasing the tickets my younger sons father decided to take me to court to deny my travel to Cali. Scott took my case last minute. He did a thorough job preparing himself for court, called & followed up with the contacts & witnesses, returned my calls & mail's immediately & put my entire family at ease. an aunt who is

I was denied access into Canada because the clerk of court entered my case as a class B misdemeanor. It supposed entered as an infraction. Scott went to court for me, and got everything cleared up in a very timely manor. All I had to do was sign a few sheets of paper. It was very smooth and easy.

I hired Scott twice now and he was great. He broke things down for me so could understand everything. He was very professional and I would recommend him to anyone.
