Scott J. Vorhees

Founding Partner

On a Mission to Help

After working his way through college at a personal injury firm, Scott knew exactly what he wanted to do next: advocate for people who need it most. Scott fights to help people get their lives back. He is aggressive and does not quit. When there’s an opportunity to change hopelessness to happiness, Scott works tirelessly to do it.

When I meet someone who’s had their world crumble around them, they don’t want me to sit and cry with them. They want me to show them the path to making their life better.
