About R.

He also has spoken on Family Law and evidentiary topics to numerous groups and organizations. Scott has earned recognition on every Texas Super Lawyers listing and has been recognized in Best Lawyers in America.
Prior to joining the firm in 1995, Scott practiced law in Austin.
Scott received his undergraduate degree from the University of Texas in 1988. He studied law at the University of Houston Law Center, where he received the American Jurisprudence Awards in contracts and civil trial advocacy.
