PERSONAL INJURY

Following his early legal experience as an attorney representing insurance companies, Scott has represented injured persons and has helped them recover compensation from insurance companies for their injuries since 1985. He has fought to prove the existence and applicability of insurance coverage, has successfully challenged unethical practices by insurance companies, and has recovered many large settlements on behalf of injured clients. In 2009, Scott recovered more than $1 million on behalf of a client who suffered a neck injury after a rear-end collision on Butler Boulevard, even though the defendant argued that Scott's client had actually been injured in a different collision that occurred two weeks later. There is no charge for initial consultations for personal injury cases. The client pays nothing unless a recovery is made.

EMPLOYMENT LAW

In the employment law field, Scott has worked with officer-level management since 1985, and he has represented employees who have been discriminated against due to their age, gender, race, disability, national origin or religion. Based on his experience and after passing a comprehensive written examination administered by the Florida Bar, Scott is Board Certified in the area of Labor and Employment Law. He has won cases submitted to the United States Supreme Court on behalf of his clients. He also has significant experience representing men and women who have been terminated or punished in some way because of a chronic health condition; sudden or expensive medical bills; because they suffered a valid workers' compensation injury; or because they objected to or refused to go along with any illegal activity by their employers.

During the past three decades, Scott has negotiated countless severance packages on behalf of executives and has helped many others obtain favorable employment contracts. He also has helped numerous employees negotiate challenges involving non-compete agreements.
