A Personal Note from Scott

“When I’m not working with clients or spending time with my wife and two amazing kids, you’ll find me on my road bike exploring back roads or mountain biking through local trails. I was born in Philadelphia at Thomas Jefferson Hospital and grew up in Haverford Township, Delaware County.

After graduating from Haverford High School, I attended Tulane University in New Orleans, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Management. I later graduated from Widener University School of Law in 2000, and I’ve been practicing to be a different kind of lawyer ever since.”
