Experienced Representation When You Need It Most

Richard K. Scott (Scotty) is a former Baltimore County Prosecutor. He graduated from Wake Forest University School of Law in North Carolina and completed his undergraduate studies at Bucknell University, where he double-majored in Business and Political Science.

He is an established and well-respected member of both the legal and local communities.

What Sets Up Apart

With experience on both sides of the courtroom—both defense and prosecution—in District, Circuit, and Juvenile Courts, Scotty has the ability to quickly assess the strength of a personal injury or criminal case, investigate, gather and preserve information, and present the strongest possible arguments on our clients’ behalf.

At Law Offices of Richard K. Scott, our experience gives us a sound and informed understanding of the value of a case—not only in terms of the settlement value of an injury claim, but also in finding, when necessary, an appropriate resolution in a criminal prosecution. We practice negotiation skills daily in highly competitive litigation settings to determine the best alternative to trial. This experience is essential in determining whether a trial is in our client’s best interest or could potentially hurt the client’s case.

You will never be left wondering, “What happened?” On many occasions, we meet with clients and learn that their biggest complaint about previous attorneys is that they did not explain what was happening or what happened after the case was completed. It is normal for a client to “freeze up” when standing before a judge and not fully understand what is happening. We will ensure that, before you even reach the judge or jury, you understand:

• What are all your options
• What is the best and worst possible scenario for each option
• What option would we select if we were in your shoes
• With me, you will at times remain informed, educated about your case, and you will remain in direct contact with our office until your case is firmly resolved. Thereafter, as your family’s law firm, we will continue to maintain our relationship with you as only a phone call away
• We continue to stay abreast of the changing laws of Maryland as they continue to change almost daily and thus directly affect our clients

Richard K. Scott is an experienced Maryland trial attorney with concentration in DUI/DWI and traffic defense, criminal defense, divorce and family law, and personal injury who has represented clients in front of judges and juries in almost every jurisdiction in the State of Maryland. We are committed to giving our clients the highest quality representation in all legal matters. If you have legal questions or concerns Richard (Scotty) also offers free phone consultations.
