As an immigration lawyer I do not handle criminal cases, so when one of my clients got arrested in Orange County, California I needed to help my client to find the very best criminal defense attorney.I reached out to the people I trust in the area and they recommended Attorney Thomas. Scott Thomas is a force to be reckoned with, shortly after my client hired him, the case was dismissed!!In other words, the best possible results! I strongly recommend this lawyer to my fellow attorneys as well as anyone in Southern California looking for a lawyer that gets results.I have been practicing law for about 10 years so it is difficult to impress me but the Law Office of Scott C. Thomas gets a 10/10 and I will definitely be recommending them to all my California clients!!

Scott is the perfect blend of having your buddy help you through a tough time and a cutthroat attorney who gets results. Scott not only delivered a dismissal from a previous DUI case, he outdid himself once again and battled with the DA for nearly 18 months to get a pretty obvious DUI reduced to a wet and reckless. This man has saved my career twice, and I won't take the wake-up call for granted. Thank you, Scott!

I’ve hired a couple of lawyers before Scott Thomas and never got the urge to call them back because the lack of involvement on my case. I’m glad to say I found someone I can trust to fight for me and take the weight off my shoulders. Mr Scott Thomas is magnificent in what he does, his communication is great, he’s helpful, understanding but overall the relief he made me feel about my case and how easy he made my case was mind blowing. Thank you Scott Thomas! 👍🏼

Adam Swanson

At first I met with several lawyers pertaining to my case. I immediately felt uneasy and afraid of being “just a number “ in a stack pile of cases. I found Scott Thomas online and gave him a call the same day. He immediately invited me down to discuss with him the details of my situation. I instantly felt a sense of relief after chatting in person and made the decision to choose Scott for representation. One of the best decisions I have made till this day.Scott worked on my Case during Covid and continued to push through the craziness within the court system. He provided updates and made me feel like a priority client. He kept me in the loop of his game plan and promised me that we were going to see it through. He remained calm and answered my questions at any hour of the night. He was very personal and reassuring that he had my best interest in mind. I am happy to share that he also was able to get my case completely DISMISSED!!! I could not be happier with choosing Scott Thomas for representation!

Kalyn Simms

I could not have picked a better lawyer to represent me. I’m so grateful for all of Scott’s efforts to get me the best possible outcome for my case. His approach to solving cases is unmatched.I had so many questions and concerns as most people do when it comes to the law. However, Scott was patient and explained everything from A-Z. Not to mention, he genuinely cares about your overall well-being throughout this stressful time. His presence and demeanor seemed to be highly respected by everyone in the courtroom from the DA to the judge, etc.Strongly recommend him!Thank you

Sierra Rose

He is truly a good hearted person who just wants to help you and see the best outcome for you.

Scott helped me out of a tough situation and calmly explained all that I needed to do before going to court. I was prepared beforehand and had a great outcome. He told me all that I needed to do (minimal) and he did the rest. If you need a lawyer in Orange County or LA for all criminal or traffic cases, you can’t do better than Scott. Highly recommend him. It’s so stressful going through all the legal mumbo jumbo. You need a good lawyer on your side. Call Scott.

This week Scott handled something for me from 16 years ago when I was a minor that should have been sealed. Scott quickly handled this allowing me to proceed with what I needed to secure employment while taking care of the courts screw up. If you got caught please call Scott and definitely never talk to anyone in law enforcemen call a lawyer!

Danny Tarkeshian

I went to Scott after one of the worst days of my life, and he really came through for me. Scott made sense of the legal system, helped me navigate it, and got me great results on my criminal case. We all make mistakes in life, and Scott was the perfect help to my mistake. Felonies all reduced to misdemeanors, and still helping me after my case has been resolved even though he doesnt have to. Judges, probation, other attorneys etc all seemed to know Scott and regarded him highly. Money well spent! Thanks Scott!

Daniel Luff

I greatly appreciate Scott Thomas as my attorney for my case. He is kind, attentive, caring, patient, and very good at his profession. He was there for me after office hours to answer any of my questions. He got the best outcome for my case. I’m grateful for all he has done for me. I highly recommend Scott and his outstanding legal services.

Nicole Ngo

5 stars all around. The peace of mind having Scott answer all my questions and answering my calls and text whenever I felt insecure left me feeling with an overwhelming sense of confidence that everything would be ok. Do yourself a favor and contact Scott to represent you. One meeting and you'll know this is the guy that you want in your corner!

Hayden B.

5 stars don't do justice for Scott Thomas.I first contacted him after being pulled over for a DUI involving a collision.I had never received anything more than a speeding ticket at that point so I was thoroughly convinced my life was over and I'd end up in jail. I spoke to a few attorneys before contacting Scott but did not feel very confident with any of them, mainly because the conversations sounded more like a hurried sales call with each attorney emailing me docusigns to fill out "right away".After contacting those first few attorneys I found Scott's number and gave him a call. We spoke for a bit, went over some of the basic details of what had happened, and instead of emailing me a contract to fill out he suggested meeting in person, on a Saturday!We met that Saturday and I chose to have him represent me. Best decision I could have made. It took two and a half years to finish the case (thank you COVID) and during that time he was always available for every one of my panic induced phone calls or texts. I was able to continue living my life with an "out of sight out of mind mentality" because I had full confidence Scott was taking care of everything on the legal front.At the end Scott was able to get me a fantastic outcome and I can finally move on from that chapter. I'm thankful to Scott not just for the outcome, but for making a dark time a little less scary.

B T

I hired Scott to defend me against a criminal case. I have been extremely pleased with the outcome! He makes things extremely hassle free. Scott will make sure you can live your life as you normally do while he does the hard work. Having a criminal case can be very stressful, but Scott almost eliminates that stress. I have a great deal of confidence in him, and would hands down recommend him to ANYONE needing legal help. It doesn't get better! Thanks Scott!

Daniel L

From The time you meet Scott at his office, you know everything will be fine! Scott doesn't talk to you in technical legal terms. He talks to you in a way...

Max G.

I’m so glad to have the opportunity to write this review of Scott Thomas’ legal services. And I almost never write reviews unless the service is exceptional.I was in a situation where I needed legal representation for a criminal matter which I felt was unfairly charged. I found Scott online and requested a consultation with him. I was nervous. I had never been in such a situation and have basically no legal knowledge. He immediately put me at ease. He explained the legal options in terms I could understand and we outlined a legal plan. I hired him and he was able to have the charges cleared.Hiring Scott is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Whenever friends and colleagues tell me about any criminal legal matters I don’t hesitate to recommend Scott. He’s the best!

I was looking for criminal justice and accidentally called Mr. Scott a defense attorney. I would like to thank him once more for pointing me in the right direction. His confidence and demeanor are reassuring and that's exactly what a person needs when burdened with the stress of being encarcerated. I'll hit you up on the down. Forget me not Mr. Scott. : )

I am forever thankful, grateful, and blessed to have met Mr. Thomas. He’s amazing at his craft and I can’t thank him enough for getting my case dismissed. I was looking at the worst case possible and he cane and helped me through the entire process from A to Z. He guided me properly and even called me after every court to give me an update. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr. Thomas to anyone. He keeps his word and get the job done!!

Jay Zermeno

I am writing this review because a situation arose that I thought would never happen in my life. I had no idea what I was facing but all I knew was that I needed expert help. After hours and hours of research, I decided on a professional that I knew would do the best job for me. His name was Scott Thomas. He instantly minimized my anxieties and worries and gave me a sense of comfort that I could not have gotten from anyone else. Due to my immaturity, another incident occurred while I was under Scott’s advisement. Thankfully, because I was lucky enough to stumble across such an excellent lawyer, both of these cases ended up getting dismissed!!! I was completely blown away by his results. This was one of the biggest and unexpected blessings I have ever had and it would not have been possible without Scott Thomas.

Aria Hossein

I am forever grateful to Mr. Thomas and would be confident in recommending to anyone. Always respectful in and out of the court room, always honest and straight forward. Scott Thomas is an excellent attorney, willing to go the extra mile for his clients in a professional and charismatic way. From my entire family, We thank you for your dedication and persistence in helping us get through the valley. Thank You Sir

Joshua Hopkins

He is very professional, courteous, respectful, and upfront with constant updates. He doesn’t treat you like a case file and will help you feel at ease with the legal issues.

daniel park

All I can say is that, Scott is very empathetic and thorough. He is very transparent in his strategy and work. He was very honest in his assessments in the different timepoints of my case, and highlighted different scenarios/consequences, with my choice as the final decision. He is well respected in the OC court system and well connected.He explained that this will be a long process and he was right(over 1 yr). I had extraordinary circumstances, due to the other party, and he navigated well...He gave me well-informed expectations and gave me hope, in the first visit.. Today, I can say that he came through, with the best outcome, that we first discussed when I met him. I found him online and he answered my first phone call to him. He has always answered my questions, via call/text. When you are navigating the court system and your wellbeing is at stake, communication is key. Scott's open line of communication made this experience much easier to digest and made it easier to sleep at night. He charged me a flat fee and it included the extra court visits and time.If you need an attorney, Scott Thomas is the person you need to call. He offers a free consultation. He was my first consultation and after meeting him, I didn't need another one. I made the right decision. Btw, case dismissed!

David N.

I was facing a very serious felony charge and after excessive consultation with other attorneys, I contacted Scott. This was the best decision I could have made in my life. Scott helped me thought my whole case by providing adequate legal advice, guiding me thru all the hoops of the judicial system and ultimately giving me hope. Scott was very honest from the moment I met him and always attentive to all of questions and concerns. As a first Time offender I didn’t go to thru the justice system. Scott attended all of my hearings and ultimately fought for my freedom. He obtained results I thought were not possible and gave me a 2nd Chance at life. I will forever be grateful for all the hard work he dedicated to my case.I will always refer Scott for any legal representation needed. He will fight for your case at all cost!Thank you Scott for all you have done to help me and my family!

elizabeth eusebio

Gave me a call back almost immediately when I needed help and he was straight forward and professional from the start !

Alex Herrera

I highly recommend Scott. His follow through is amazing and he was always there to answer my questions and calm my fears. He is a straight shooter and gets the job done. He has even helped me post plea with questions and concerns.

Trish Spence

Scott is excellent, period. Professional and works hard for his clients. Would highly recommend him to anyone. Did an excellent job for me and more than happy with the results.

Jeffery Smith

I had an incredible experience using Mr. Thomas to take care of my legal issues. Upon meeting Mr. Thomas for the first time, he put my mind at ease about my case in addition to providing me with all of the information I could ever need. Mr. Thomas was able to achieve all of this while still managing not to make me feel pressured to retain him. I truly felt like he only had my best interest at heart.Mr. Thomas was extremely accessible to me throughout the process of my case and answered questions for me promptly whenever I reached out. My time was also taken into consideration by Mr. Thomas, going out of his way to make sure I only had to appear when absolutely necessary.Ultimately, I am thrilled with the outcome of my case and I am extremely grateful to Mr. Thomas. I would strongly recommend him without hesitation to anyone who is in need of legal aid.

Brock Ridenour

This was a first time navigating the world of the Law and he made me feel taken care of as well as understood. He translated legal jargon into simple to understand terms all while keeping it light hearted. There are a ton of follow up steps in my case and he's been responsive nearly a year after.Scott has a way with all types of people including Judges, Bailiffs, and Clients. He is exactly the combination of smart, professional, funny, and attentive that comes together to make an outstanding lawyer.In the courtroom, he commands respect of everyone including the Judge. Through, caring, and highly recommended.

Danielle V

Scott was amazing from start to finish. He was able to take control of my case and provide an amazing outcome for me. I would strongly recommend that you speak with Scott if you are in need of representation.

Tim W

Scott Thomas provided me with peace of mind after being charged with a DUI. He is very sociable, honest, and straightforward about what can and can't be done. When I chose to use his services and have him represent me, I knew that I had made the right choice. No other attorney that I had spoke to or met with gave me the same confidence that a desirable result could be achieved. There was no false hope or expectation, and no hidden fees that came up. I can now say that I do NOT have a DUI, and I thank Scott for making that possible. Every step along the way, Scott was available for questions, punctual about sharing important information, and honorable in the way he went around his work. If you ever find yourself in a predicament that calls for the best representation, do yourself a favor and call Scott.

Laurence Alexander

As a long-time criminal defense lawyer in Chicago, I can tell you that Scott is widely recognized as one of the best criminal defense lawyers in California. If I was facing criminal charged in California, my first, and only call would be to Scott.

Legal Practice Areas

With a specialty in first-time felony defense, sex-crime defense, and DUI cases, no stone is left unturned to help you avoid a conviction and a series of harsh punishments.

Criminal Defense

A criminal arrest, especially on felony charges can turn a life upsidedown, ruin a reputation, and put the defendant at serious risk for long-range punishments.

DUI & DWI Defense

A local police or state patrol stop for suspicion of drunk driving shouldn’t be the end of the world for anyone — whether it’s your first offense or your third.

Drug Charges

A guilty verdict in a criminal trial for methamphetamine manufacture or heroin trafficking can put you in prison for years.

White-Collar Crimes

Whether you are an executive or a receptionist, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and you have a right to your day in court.

Fraud & ID Theft

In criminal law, fraud is a very broad category that includes a wide array of actions that many people do not even realize are crimes.

Violent Crimes

A domestic violence complaint may have started with a “he said, she said” situation. Scott C. Thomas explores every strategy for having your charges reduced or dismissed.

DUI Attorney

What our clients are saying:

“I have been in Legal battle for more than four years to prove my innocence. That includes two Jury Trials & then to the Court of Appeals ( Supreme Court ) which Scott Thomas comes in & saves more than just “The Day”. He took over my case and took it to the Supreme court and about 7-8 months later, the Court of Appeal made the decision in our favor. They made the Trial Court reverse the judgment & consider it a mistrial. The District Attorney’s office withdraw their charge & I became, What I born to be, FREE! Scott didn’t give up either hope & handwork, fought it through & True beside me.

Bruce M.via Yelp

“Scott was awesome from day one. This was my first experience with having representation, and it was well worth it. He 100% has his clients best interest in mind. It didn’t matter how long it took or whatever obstacles came alone, he made sure to do whatever was best for me happen. Even after everything is done and over with, he is willing to be there and help with anything else is needed. With whatever you need I would strongly recommend him.”

Brandonvia Yelp

“I can not recommend Scott Thomas enough. Four months after my husband died a family member, who was very depressed and grieving, was in a single-car accident and was arrested and charged. As we had never had any traffic violations, much less any arrests, we had no idea of how to proceed and we were overwhelmed. Scott was there for us every step of the way, his professionalism was outstanding, as was his expertise. He fought for us and got us the best possible outcome.
