CRIMINAL DEFENSE CLIENT TESTIMONIALS | SCOTT PRYOR LAW

I am 19 and am a student at Georgia Tech. I received 3 speeding tickets on my way back from work. I was going 106 miles per hour (41 miles over the speed limit) and was going to lose my license. Scott represented me and the Judge dropped the speeding ticket and one of my other tickets and I was able to keep my drivers license. I knew Scott was an awesome attorney when the Judge said that she has never dropped a ticket like this before but she would this time. I will use Scott and refer him to all my friends.

2. Almost went to jail for simple battery / domestic violence:

I met Scott several years ago when I was falsely accused by my girlfriend of simple battery / domestic violence. Scott met with my witnesses and the detective on the case and was able to get my charges dropped. Scott has represented me on some other matters and always, always, always goes above and beyond the call of duty. I told Scott that he is part of my family now and I invite him over for cookouts and family gatherings.

3. Possession of Marijuana:

I got caught for an improper display of my license plate tag and the police searched my vehicle and found marijuana. Scott represented me at Court and got them to drop the possession of marijuana charge. I would have lost my license and possibly my job. I was able to get some counseling and stop this bad habit and able to get my life back on track.

4. Aggravated Assault / Aggravated Battery:

I was a bouncer and was attacked by a patron that would not listen. During the course of the attack my brother and another bouncer jumped in to help get the unruly patron off of me. The patron received brain damage as a result and I was charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery for defending myself. It turned out that the patron was a fire fighter and the District Attorney wanted to force the prosecution in light of it clearly being self-defense. Scott took the case to trial and the jury acquitted me. I walked out of the Court a free man.

5. Multiple DUIs within 5 years:

I had multiple DUIs within a five-year period. I had a bad drinking problem and was going to lose my job due to a lot of jail time for my DUI charge. Scott was able to work it out with the Judge and solicitor that I could take vacation from my job and voluntarily check myself into the Fulton County Jail. The Judge reduced the time I had to spend in jail and this allowed me to keep my job as a manager in a major company. Scott encouraged me to get help for my drinking problem.

6. 18 and ready to lose my license until I turned 21:

I am 18 and just started college at the University of Georgia. I drive home to Atlanta on the weekends and over the course of a year I have received 3 speeding tickets from speed traps along my route. Yes I have a lead foot and have learned my lesson now but facing the loss of my license was unbearable. Scott represented my for the last two tickets and was able to convince the Judges to let me keep my license. The Judge told me I had an excellent attorney and to slow down. I have learned my lesson but I want to recommend Scott to everyone who is in my situation.

7. Driving with no insurance:

I was going through a hard time financially and my insurance lapsed. I was pulled over and received a ticket for driving with no insurance. I didn’t realize how much trouble I was in including jail time and license suspension. I retained the services of Mr. Pryor and thankfully, he was able to help me stay out of jail and keep my license.

8. Driving on a suspended license:

I forgot to pay a speeding ticket and unbeknownst to me my license was suspended. I received a ticket for driving with a suspended license. Mr. Pryor was able to work with me and the court to protect me from going to jail and he also guided me through the process of getting my license back.

9. Reckless Driving:

I got a ticket for reckless driving and due to so many points for this ticket I would have lost my license. I hired Scott and he went to bat for me. I was able to keep my license and protect my driving record.

10. Hit and Run:

I had a minor accident one night and I hit a parked car, I had never been in trouble before and I got scared and took off. The police charged me with a hit and run and I didn’t know what to do. I retained Scott to represent me and he worked everything out, my insurance paid for the person’s car that I hit and I was able to get back on track. I am very greatful to Scott for holding my hand through this hard time.

11. Shoplifting second offense:

I was recently charged with shoplifting for my second offense. I need to keep my record clean because I am going to school to get into the medical profession. Since this was my second offense I knew I was in big trouble. I hired Scott and he was able to get the shoplifting charge reduced to a county ordinance violation and my record was protected. I paid a fine and the case was over. I have since learned from my mistake and through Scott’s help I have a bright future ahead of me.

12. Driving with no insurance second offense:

I had got in trouble for driving with no insurance several years ago. Recently with out my knowledge my husband forgot to pay the bill and our car insurance lapsed. Mr. Pryor helped me keep my license so I could drive to and from work. I was also able to avoid going to jail.

13. DUI - hit two on duty police officers head on:

I am 21 years old and I made a huge mistake! I went out with my friends one night and had too much to drink, I ended up getting in a wreck and hit two on duty police officer’s vehicle head on. We all were rushed to the hospital. I knew I was in deep deep trouble! Initially I hired another attorney but was not satisfied with her services. I explained the situation to Mr. Scott and he decided to take the case. Mr. Scott was able to get me the minimum punishment according to the statute. I could have gone to jail for a year. I have learned a valuable lesson and I can’t thank Mr. Scott enough.

14. DUI -Traveling in a rural county in Georgia DUI refused to take breathalyzer:

I was charged with a first offense DUI / refusal of breathalyzer. Having never been in any type of trouble before, I was oblivious to the fines and penalties that could be imposed on me for the decision I had made. Monetary penalties, probation, loss of license and jail time could have resulted from this. Scott walked me through the entire process and was always available to answer any questions that I had. Scott was able to get the judge to reduce the charges to reckless driving. It is an error I made that I will not repeat, and I am grateful that I had an aggressive, knowledgeable attorney that was able to convince the judge that I was worthy of a second chance.

15. DUI - Drinking while driving blew triple the legal limit:

I had a death in the family and I was so depressed that I bought some beer and was drinking while I was driving. I was pulled over and I blew triple the legal limit. I was in big trouble. I hired Scott and what a great job he did. He helped me think straight and heal through this difficult time and convinced the Judge to give me a second chance. I received a reckless driving charge instead of a dui and I was able to get back on my feet again. I have Scott to thank for more than just my legal needs.

16. DUI - blew double the legal limit right after I received an offer to work for a Federal agency:

I had a tough time finding a job and finally I received an offer to work my dream job at a Federal agency. I made a stupid decision to drive three blocks home from a bar because my buddy was too drunk to drive. I was pulled over and blew twice the legal limit and really had no defense. Scott fought for me all the way up to the top solicitor in the county and was able to get my charge reduced to a reckless driving. My future and career was saved, none of my friends could believe what Scott had done. Needless to say I have learned my lesson and am working my dream job which I would have lost had I got a dui on my record.

17. DUI - single mother going through a bad divorce trying to keep my job:

I am a single mother and I was going through a very difficult time getting a divorce and trying to keep my job in a tough economy. To make things worse, I got a dui and I thought my life was caving in. I talked with many attorneys but none of them felt right. As soon as I talked with Scott I knew he was the right attorney for me. I had peace of mind because I knew Scott was going to take care of my case. Scott worked very hard working with the police officer in my case and the prosecutor. Scott got my case dropped to a reckless driving and I felt like my life had turned a corner. I have learned a valuable lesson and I am so thankful to Scott for taking such great care of me. I feel like I have been given a second chance and I will not screw it up! I recommend Scott to everybody, I tell them you will see what a great attorney he is and also what a great person he is as well.

18. Possession of Marijuana Less than an ounce:

I am young and made a bad decision to try marijuana because I was curious. I was charged with possession of marijuana less than an ounce. I am in school and want to protect my future and a marijuana charge will close a lot of doors. I hired Mr. Scott Pryor who got the charged dropped in exchange for me going to some classes on the dangers of drug abuse. I have learned my lesson and have been able to keep my future prospects bright. I have Mr. Scott Pryor to thank for that.

I was able to protect my record and also keep my career. Words can not express my thankfulness to Scott’s hard work and dedication.

20. Possession of a Firearm by a convicted Felon:

When I was young I was convicted of a felony twenty years ago. I was an out of control kid and this was the best thing that ever happened to me. I had to call 911 for a medical emergency at my girlfriend’s house and the police came to assist as well. The police saw my girlfriend’s son’s hunting rifle under her bed and charged me with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. At this point in my life I had a business and was raising a family I couldn’t believe the trouble I was in. Scott helped me stay out of jail and helped me keep my life on track. I almost went to jail for 5 years.

21. Obstruction/ Obstruction of a police officer:

One night I was out with my girlfriend and the police were chasing someone down the street. They mistook me for the person they were chasing and threw me down on the sidewalk. I was in shock that this was happening and was very angry and told the police they had the wrong guy. I was very upset and even though I was not the guy they were looking for they charged me with obstruction. This was injustice and I hired Mr. Pryor to represent me and he made sure this ridiculous charge was dropped.
