Scott has this to say about his practice at Kennedy & Graven:
- I enjoy the wide-ranging practice available at Kennedy & Graven, from advising suburban cities to the unique development issues confronting agricultural communities. The breadth of experience present at Kennedy & Graven, and the teamwork approach to municipal representation, permits me to quickly respond to any new issues facing cities.
