  While Scott called me in order to discuss a matter of his, it was I who became impressed with Scott. He is thorough. He looks at all sides and is able to come up with the arguments that help him in court. While it may sound cliche on this website, I endorse this lawyer.

  Scott has been representing me and my technology businesses for many years and has done an excellent job because unlike other counsel we have used, he takes pride in teaching the client the reasons behind legal requirements to aid in business decision making. In the computer contracts area he has written extensively and is a recognized expert negotiating computer contracts for software developers as well as users, especially in health care. On the IP side, he did an excellent job securing several trademarks for fairly common terms which we did not believe other counsel we spoke with could have done. His expertise in the convergence between the Internet and brand protection was unique and impressive. We will continue to retain him.

  I first met Scott following a presentation (a CLE) he offered at the Ohio State Bar Association annual convention some years ago. I have remained in contact, and recently reached out to Scott to seek his assitance in training my team of specialized attorneys in the area of commercial software licensing (B2B products) and related services (I run a team of in-house attorneys for Sterling Commerce, an AT&T company). I value Scott for his expertise in the area of commercial contracting practices for software and technology services. Scott has demonstrated impeccable integrity of character, coupled with a detailed level of expertise in the field of contractual drafting & review for software related products and services. Scott is rather unique among attorneys in this space, in that he benefits from years of experiene as a computer programmer long before he became an established legal expert in his chose field. He brings this operational knowledge to the practice of providing legal counsel within this industry. While I have interacted with Scott primarily around commercial contracting "best practices" in this field, I am also grateful that he stays abreast of current trends in litigation and similar substantive areas, e.g., trends in intellectual property law, which provides the underpinnings for all software/technology licensing practices. I highly recommend Scott to anyone in need of a talented attorney with specialized expertise in the areas of intellectual property, software licensing or related litigation.
