"Scott Righthand and his team have been impressive since the inception of our suit. Their knowledge of the law and courts is encyclopedic. Their compassion and patience are worthy of sainthood for the entire team. My case was very complicated and long-term, spanning six years and morphing from a personal injury suit to (sadly) wrongful death. Throughout the process Scott and the team were communicative, skillful, and caring. I cannot imagine having better support or getting a better outcome than I had with this firm. Their fees were fair and..." Read More

"Scott represented us on a case. We are really happy with Scott. He definitely deserves all those awards (Best Lawyers - Lawyer of the year, U.S. News & World Report - Best Lawyers, etc). Scott does a very good job of analyzing all the facts, hiring the best experts, and developing a strong evidence based argument. Throughout the entire process, Scott was very compassionate, empathetic, and caring. While at the same time, also very ethical and straight forward. Just an overall great guy to have had the pleasure of working..." Read More

"After being rejected by two attorneys who couldn't see the value of a medical malpractice case I needed to refer out, I found Scott. Scott took the time to understand the matter and agreed that it was a challenge worth taking on. The matter just concluded very favorably, and we have Scott to thank for his expertise, tenacity, and overall stewardship which was key to its ultimate outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend him for your legal needs." Read More

"Thank you, Scott, Brittany and the entire team - I am thoroughly pleased with the conclusion of my case! Scott was a strong advocate who became a friend and mentor. He helped guide me through one of the more difficult times in my life. From the moment I first called, I always felt thoroughly informed of my options. I always felt informed on the status of the case and my questions were always answer promptly with information easy to digest, which was especially helpful not being in the legal field...." Read More

"I don’t know where to begin to express my gratitude to Scott Righthand for the way he represented me and handled my case. I have worked on the plaintiffs side of personal injury for over 30 years. I never imagined that I would be a plaintiff under these circumstances. I was viciously attacked by my neighbors 130 pound rottweiler while trying to do him a favor. I was blindsided when my neighbor lied about the circumstances and tried to put the fault on me. I should have known better but..." Read More

"My life was forever changed when I had a knee surgery that went horribly wrong in 2009. I have never felt so powerless. I was fighting to keep my business, my leg and most of all my sanity. When I set out to find an attorney to represent me, I realized that the real fight hadn't even begun. Malpractice law is a very small niche that I believe only the biggest hearts choose to practice. I was told by multiple lawyers that infection cases are too hard to win and..." Read More

"While on my way to work I was rear-ended by a big truck. I immediately began feeling extreme pain. I was instantly thrown into a cycle of pain and pain meds as I continued to try to keep working. I could barely think straight and the last thing I thought about was getting an attorney. A good friend advised me to seek legal counsel as it appeared my injuries were more severe than I realized. I was referred to Scott Righthand and he agreed to represent me. He took over..." Read More

"Brittany is not only an expert in her field of law but equally important, understands the emotions and the people aspect of what I was going through - she was available for questions, explained things in layman’s terms and coached me through the process to achieve the best results. I would have not been prepared whatsoever and would have been coaxed into the defense’s tactics. No one ever plans to have a personal injury claim and certainly, no one wants to go through it. But since life happens and is..." Read More

"I have worked with many lawyers over many years, and I have to say that Scott Righthand and Brittany Rogers are both absolutely great. Scott devotes his decades of experience and expertise to each and every case, and Brittany fights so fiercely for each and every client. This law firm's dedication to their clients is unrelenting, and they treat every client like family. And their results are exemplary, not stopping until they have made a real positive difference in their clients' lives. These two attorneys are consummate professionals, and I..." Read More

"Mr. Scott Righthand was recommended to us by an attorney we hired for our business. At the time we personally didn't need his services, but another extended family member did. A few years later we were in need of his services as well. Mr. Righthand provided excellent service to us. His whole office team is very professional and personable. It took us a few years to settle our case and all throughout that time Mr. Righthand was available to answer any question or concern I or my husband had. He..." Read More

"My husband and I were in an accident where we both received head injuries. We had many calls from attorneys who wanted to represent us. Scott was recommended to us by a friend of our son-in-law. We decided to go into his office and discuss the case. After our office conference, we retained Scott on the spot. His professional approach and self-confidence gave us the belief that he would do the best possible job for us. It proved to be one of the best decisions of our lives. Scott kept..." Read More
