    HIGHLY RECOMMEND SCOTT EHRENWORTH!!!! Scott Ehrenworth got my DUI 2nd offense, reduced to a DUI 1st offense, and my Reckless 108 in a 65, and Defective Exhaust completely dropped! That is pretty much unheard of nowadays, but he made it happen and saved my career! Please, let Scott Ehrenworth handle your case he will go above and beyond for you! Thanks again Scott for everything!
    - Former Client
    “I strongly recommend his services without reservation.”

    Mr. Ehrenworth provided outstanding legal representation from the beginning consultation to a better than expected result in court. Upon hiring him for a reckless driving ticket (83/55), Mr. Ehrenworth reviewed my driving history, explained probable outcomes, and mapped out a plan of preparation for court. Upon consultation with the State Trooper before court, he was able to negotiate a dismissal of all charges and court costs based on a technicality. Mr. Ehrenworth clearly knows the law, the mechanics of the legal system, and how to represent his clients' best interests in a professional manner. I strongly recommend his services without reservation. Thank you, again, Mr. Ehrenworth.
    - Phil
    “Tenacious and dedicated toward achieving my desired result.”
    I hired Scott after I saw him handle a case that was heard before mine. What a fantastic decision. Tenacious and dedicated toward achieving my desired result. Other defendants in the courtroom referred to him as a PIT BULL and great attorney. They were correct!
    - John
    “I couldn't have asked for a better outcome!”
    After posting bond, I contacted Attorney Ehrenworth per recommendation to help me fight my case. After reviewing my case and all the facts, he claimed he could get my charges dismissed at preliminary. I must admit that I was a bit skeptical at first, but after a few long months filled with stress and anticipation, on the date of preliminary, he managed to do just that. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome, and wouldn't recommend any other attorney based on my results!
