About
As an Associate Attorney at LawrenceQueen, Scott specializes in employment law. Known for his attentive listening skills and innovative problem-solving, Scott is dedicated to fiercely advocating for his clients' interests.
Scott earned his B.A. magna cum laude in Economics and International Relations from the College of William and Mary, where his fascination with employment was piqued during his time as a labor market economics research assistant. He later obtained his J.D. cum laude from George Mason University, where he concentrated his coursework in topics such as Employment Law, Discrimination Law, Labor Law, and Gender, Sexuality, and the Law. During his time at George Mason, Scott served as a Research Editor for the George Mason Law Review where he honed his legal research and writing skills.
